๐ฅ Smart Money Trading Strategy (Beginner โ Pro)
1๏ธโฃ Market Structure First ๐๏ธ
Smart money controls direction.
Look for:
Higher Highs + Higher Lows โ Uptrend ๐
Lower Highs + Lower Lows โ Downtrend ๐
Break of Structure (BOS) ๐ = Trend confirmation
๐ Never trade against structure.
2๏ธโฃ Liquidity = The Real Target ๐ง
Smart money hunts stops, not candles.
Where liquidity sits:
Above equal highs โฌ๏ธ
Below equal lows โฌ๏ธ
At previous day high / low
Around round numbers (BTC 50k, 60k etc.)
๐ง Price moves to take liquidity first, then reverses.
3๏ธโฃ Inducement (The Trap) ๐ฏ
Before the real move:
Price gives a fake breakout
Retail enters early
Stops get taken โ
This is inducement.
๐ Wait for the trap, donโt become it.
4๏ธโฃ Order Blocks (Smart Money Entry Zone) ๐งฑ
Order block = last bullish/bearish candle before a big move.
Types:
๐ฉ Bullish OB โ Buy zone
๐ฅ Bearish OB โ Sell zone
Best entries happen on OB retest, not the first move.
5๏ธโฃ Fair Value Gap (FVG) โ๏ธ
Institutions hate imbalance.
FVG = fast price move leaving empty space.
Rule:
Price often returns to fill FVG
Entry near 50% of FVG = sniper entry ๐ฏ
6๏ธโฃ Entry Model (Clean & Simple) ๐ง
Smart Money Buy Setup ๐
Liquidity sweep below lows ๐ง
Break of structure ๐
Price returns to:
Order Block ๐งฑ
Fair Value Gap โ๏ธ
Entry confirmation on lower timeframe โฑ๏ธ
Sell Setup = exact opposite ๐
7๏ธโฃ Stop Loss & Target ๐ฏ
Smart money risk rules:
Stop below OB / above OB
Target:
Next liquidity pool ๐ง
Previous high/low
1:3 or higher RR ๐
โ No random stops
โ No revenge trading
8๏ธโฃ Time Matters โฐ
Best smart money sessions:
London Open ๐ฌ๐ง
New York Open ๐บ๐ธ
LondonโNY overlap ๐ฅ
Dead times = fake moves ๐ด
โ ๏ธ Common Retail Mistakes
Entering at breakout ๐ซ
Ignoring liquidity ๐
Trading every candle ๐ฏ๏ธ
Over-leveraging ๐ต
๐ง Smart Money Golden Rules
