Execution Framework
03 — Liquidity Pool
Price moves toward liquidity. Map where stops, resting orders, equal highs/lows, PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL, VWAP, and POC zones are likely sitting.
Why this happens
The market is solving for liquidity, not your opinion.
The market needs orders to move. Obvious highs and lows attract stops. Previous levels attract reaction. VWAP and value zones attract mean reversion and acceptance. Liquidity gives price a reason to travel.
- Buy-side liquidity above equal highs
- Sell-side liquidity below equal lows
- Previous session levels act as magnets
- VWAP / POC define value and control
Direction is secondary until liquidity shows the destination.
Why LiquidityLab uses it
This step turns noise into a decision filter.
LiquidityLab uses liquidity mapping to stop traders from entering randomly. The question becomes: where is price likely trying to go, and what liquidity does it need to collect first?
Retail mistakeRetail mistake: buying directly into buy-side liquidity or shorting directly into sell-side liquidity without waiting for the reaction.
LiquidityLab ruleLiquidityLab rule: map liquidity first, then wait for sweep, reclaim, rejection, or acceptance.
