🚨 Stop getting faked out at levels (quick trap filter)

If you’re always getting smoked on “breakouts”… you’re probably buying the exact candle they want you to buy.

Here’s the quick filter I use before I chase anything:

1) Did it sweep a level first?

Like PDH/PDL, session high/low, range top/bottom.

If it pokes it and instantly snaps back… that’s usually not “bullish”… that’s a bait.

2) Was there a volume pop but price went nowhere?

Big volume + no follow through = someone’s absorbing / unloading into you.

3) Did it happen during dead hours?

Low activity breakouts are sketchy. Real moves usually push and KEEP pushing.

How I play it:

If it does a sweep + hard rejection, I wait for the retest and take the reversal.

Stop goes past the wick.

Target is the next obvious liquidity (next high/low).

Comment “TRAP” and I’ll post 2 chart examples (one that worked, one that didn’t) so you can see it clear.
