Execution Framework
05 — Entry Model
Only execute after the thesis has a trigger. Use VWAP reclaim, FVG reaction, OTE, order block response, liquidity sweep continuation, or value acceptance.
Why this happens
The market is solving for liquidity, not your opinion.
A thesis is not an entry. Traders lose because they confuse being right about direction with having a valid execution point. The entry model turns market context into a defined action.
- VWAP reclaim shows value recovery
- FVG reaction can define continuation
- OTE can frame discounted/premium entry
- Order block response can define invalidation
Execution begins only after confirmation.
Why LiquidityLab uses it
This step turns noise into a decision filter.
LiquidityLab uses entry models to remove randomness. The trade must have a trigger, invalidation, and a reason connected to liquidity and structure.
Retail mistakeRetail mistake: chasing after price already moved because the idea feels obvious too late.
LiquidityLab ruleLiquidityLab rule: no trigger, no trade. No clean location, no trade.
