Build your Trading Plan First!

In this trading tutorial, we are going to dive deep into liquidity concepts! What is liquidity in trading? How to spot liquidity? What are the different types of liquidity and inducement? How to implement liquidity in your trading plan?

Liquidity is a very important concept to understand, because it is usually due to liquidity and liquidity grabs that traders get stopped out of their trades, which then reverse to take profit.

Liquidity can also be quite subjective - there are numerous types of liquidity inducements that are circulating around and usually traders get confused on what is liquidity, where to look for it and how to trade it.

My biggest advice is just as everything in trading - keep liquidity systematic and objective! Have a few liquidity concepts in your trading toolbox, know where to look for them and how to execute on them.

In this trading tutorial, I'll show you the ones I use and explain why they are powerful. Then it is your task to implement them into your trading plan, merge them together with market structure and supply and demand and build a systematic trading strategy around it.

19 minutes into this video and i genuinely have teary eyes.
i have been an inconsistent trader for about 2years now, i have surfed through a good number of fx creators and no one has ever broken it down to me in a manner so simple as this.
you make me emotional learning from this because i have consistently blown accounts since i started, a little spark here and there but nothing ever clicked.
THANK YOU for teaching this for free!

[jaywill]

This guy is a national treasure! Protect him at all costs!

I wish I could have seen a video like this when I started ten years ago, the young people of today are not aware of how lucky they are that someone like you altruistically share in a video of such quality in both content and continent full of real knowledge of how the markets work and not the technical analysis rubbish that is sold to the poor retail traders so that brokers and large institutions keep their money.

[Colin-FFX]

Once again I've gotten the "aha" moment while watching your videos. This one in particular brought me to the realization that I've been reading the markets correctly but never understood why I'd get stopped out right before it plummets. Other people sell their courses but this is free and is literally changing my perspective on the market with every video. Thank you Mr. Sivkov.🙏🏽

[cargoraygaming]

As soon as you explained how “institutions cant place a 10, 000 lot size order without liquidity “ I subbed immediately. All the other videos talking about smart money or big banks but never explain what this means like you did, thank you.

[nero]

never commented on a video but this was the most useful stuff in the market, i hate it when people only show fake profits to leads lambs to slaughter but you sir are a true teacher

[adewaleadebayo]

3 months later and I am morphing into a mini Iliya. Goal is still to see the market as clear as you do. I cant thank you enough for opening my eyes with your systematic approach to the market. Great teaching, great contents!

[jassshergill]

I can't imagine it's all free .but the effort you made for us is priceless .thanks sir

[lichkata]

The only video I need on Liquidity. Period. Simple is best!!!

[cemperor]

After just watching a few videos from you I have already gotten more value than the months of videos I watched from others last year, I don't know if there are any words for me to say than THANK YOU!! Mad respect bro, I'm getting a lot of value from these videos.

[One-way]

WOW I can actually see liquidity now. I wasn’t understanding how my SL was constantly failing. Thank you sir !!

[KingAlexFX]

Bro thank you for the free knowledge you’re sharing. When I started trading one key thing on my mind was to really understand market structure and the psychology behind why the market moves the way it does and your lessons have truly given me that “aha” moment. Thank you so much!

[Ili-otfq]

the clearest explanation about liquidity concept that I've seen on YT so far. Thanks so much

[lobizqe]

This is a really good video about alcoholic beverages! I often struggle to figure out areas of finance and development. I used to read the markets right but never understood why I would get stopped out before it crashed. Other people sell their courses but this is free and it literally changes my view of the market

[norbinorbi]

I have not found so much value in any SMC course as you have presented here. Amazing man, you have all my respect.

[trommelbiel]

Just woke up and YouTube recommended this video. Just 3 minutes watching and something told me this is the real deal. Subscribed!

[kaiwndu]

I'm so thankful for getting to watch this for free! This playlist is like a goldmine for new traders, probably worth five years of learning. Your videos are awesome, and a big thanks for sharing all this knowledge!

[mehdichourak]

I love your videos and way of teaching and honesty although I still find difficulty to fully understand and digest all the concepts that you provide.
My only resquest from you is that you make more videos in these advanced and hidden concepts, like : supply and demand zones, imbalance, order block, liquidity, etc... for us to better apprehend these concepts.
Thank a lot and keep the good work❤❤❤

[ejohnson]

You are so compassionate and explain these important concepts so well. Greatly appreciated!

[akshaykhandare]

only through half of the video, couldn't control myself from appreciating you. Pure gold content on liquidity. This is what i was looking for last few weeks. Doing great work. Huge
