Core Concepts
Early Enticement
When the market builds liquidity before the real move because none exists nearby
Early enticement occurs when there is no liquidity to the left of a supply or demand zone on the same timeframe. The market generates liquidity by enticing orders into the market before the real move. Three types exist: pre-interaction enticement (fake structure forms before reaching the zone), reactionary enticement (both sides fight at the zone generating orders), and post-interaction enticement (structure builds after the zone interaction before the real move). After any enticement, an order flow shift confirmation is required.
✓How to Recognize
- •No structural or reactionary liquidity exists to the left of the zone
- •Pre-interaction: bullish/bearish structure forms before reaching the zone
- •Reactionary: both supply and demand give reactions at the zone
- •Post-interaction: structure builds after zone touch, then gets swept
⚡How to Avoid
- →Entering immediately at a zone when no liquidity exists to the left
- →Treating pre-interaction structure changes as real reversals
- →Not waiting for order flow confirmation after the enticement sweep
- →Ignoring that all structural lows/highs in enticement are sweep targets
