You know this one.

The setup looks clean. Price hits your zone. You hesitate, just for a second.

Then you hit it. Market goes your way…
…and then rips back and stops you out like it was scripted.

Guess what? It was.

That’s the trap trade.
A clean zone, a false breakout, and you’re the liquidity.

This happens because you’re chasing structure, not flow.

Institutions love when traders pile in at predictable levels.

You think:

You’re trading what’s visible. They’re trading where the pain is.

Wait for confirmation.
Structure without volume or delta alignment is bait.
Don’t trade the first touch.
Let price prove intent. Real moves don’t need to rush.
Know your LIS.
If you don’t have a Line In the Sand for the day, you’re flying blind.

If you keep getting wicked out, you’re not reading the battlefield right.

📌 Get disciplined. Use structure + order flow + timing.

I’ll break this down in full inside Discord this week.
You in?
