Flip Zone Entry
Entering at a zone where former supply has become demand (or vice versa) — a fast, aggressive entry model
A flip zone entry occurs when supply fails and becomes demand (or demand fails and becomes supply), and you enter when price returns to the flipped zone. For example: in a bullish setup, supply reacts but then gets broken. The area that was supply is now demand. When price pulls back to this flipped zone, you enter long. Flip entries are faster than chain entries because they require only one structural event (the flip) rather than multiple (the chain). This gives a better entry price and higher R:R potential, but with less structural confirmation. Flip entries work best when the higher-timeframe analysis is very clear — you don't need as much lower-timeframe confirmation because the macro thesis is strong. The sweep play variant adds even more precision: you wait for price to sweep the flip zone before entering, which confirms that liquidity has been taken.
✓How to Recognize
- •Supply fails → becomes demand. Price returns to this flipped zone → enter long.
- •Demand fails → becomes supply. Price returns → enter short.
- •Faster than chain entries: one structural event vs multiple links
- •The sweep play: wait for the flip zone to be swept before entering for extra confirmation
⚡How to Avoid
- →Using flip entries when the higher-timeframe thesis is unclear (not enough macro confirmation)
- →Confusing a brief reaction with a genuine flip (the old zone must actually fail first)
- →Taking every flip without checking if the R:R to the target still works
- →Abandoning the flip model after a few losses without collecting enough data (100+ trades)
