Questions & Answers
Q: What is the three-step process used by big players to trap retail traders?
The process involves setting traps by convincing traders to take positions, inducing emotional and irrational thinking, and then hunting their stops and reversing the price.
Q: What is the safest way to avoid the Tokyo trap?
To avoid the Tokyo trap, it is best to enter a trade after spotting a liquidity clearout, a move outside the range, and a quick retracement back inside the range. Buying at the range top or selling at the range bottom should be avoided.
Q: How do smart money players trap traders using sharp and aggressive moves?
Smart money induces traders to take the wrong direction by making sharp moves near the high or low of the day, faking breakouts. This leads traders to commit to new positions opposite to the true trend, and their stops are triggered.
Q: How do wedges or triangles allow smart money to trap traders in both directions?
Wedges or triangles are common patterns used by smart money to trap traders in both directions. By progressively trapping short and long positions with higher lows and lower highs, smart money ensures that traders cannot turn a profit regardless of the breakout direction.
