💧 Understanding Liquidity, FVGs, and Smart Money Zones
To understand market moves, you need to see where money flows — where it hides, and where it gets hunted.
📍 What is liquidity
Liquidity is what fuels market movement.
Price doesn’t move randomly — it seeks out clusters of stop orders where large players can fill positions.
📈Buy-side liquidity sits above resistance or recent highs — stop losses from shorts.
📉Sell-side liquidity lies below support or recent lows — stop losses from longs.
These are the areas smart money targets to enter or exit positions with minimal slippage.
📍 Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Before grabbing liquidity, price often rebalances.
That’s where Fair Value Gaps come in.
🟡 A 3-candle pattern showing price imbalance.
🟡 It occurs when there’s no overlap between the first and third candles.
🟡 This creates a “gap” where one side (buy or sell) is inefficient.
📍 Internal vs External liquidity
Price usually moves in two phases:
🟡 Internal Liquidity (IRL) — rebalancing inside the range (e.g. FVGs)
🟡 External Liquidity (ERL) — taking out old highs or lows
This structure helps explain why price doesn’t go in a straight line — it clears inefficiencies first, then targets stops.
📍 Premium and Discount zones
Use the Fibonacci tool to map fair value:
🟡 Above equilibrium (0.5 level) is premium — an area to look for shorts.
🟡 Below equilibrium is discount — a zone for potential longs.
Smart entries often happen around the 0.618–0.705 zone — called Optimal Trade Entry (OTE).
Liquidity is the invisible hand behind price action.
Learn to follow the footprints — not the noise.

That likely needs to unwind before any real move lower.

💰 What is Valuation?
Valuation = estimating what an asset is really worth.
The image covers the core methods — DCF, multiples, net assets, reverse DCF.
But here’s what’s equally important 👇
🟡 Valuation ≠ price — Market price is what people pay. Value is what something should be worth. The two often diverge.
🟡 Intangibles matter — Brand, network effects, IP, and data often hold more value than factories or cash flow.
🟡 Context is everything — A great valuation in 2020 looks insane in 2023. Interest rates, cycles, liquidity all shift “fair value.”
🟡 In crypto, valuation is even harder —most tokens have no cash flows. Look at usage, token sink mechanics, emission schedules.
🟡 Margin of safety — Smart investors never buy at fair value. They want a discount — to account for being wrong.
Valuation isn’t exact.
It’s a tool, not a truth.
Use it wisely — and never in isolation.

📈 How to Become a Profitable Trader
Trading isn’t about guessing the market or winning every trade.
It’s about building a repeatable system where the math works in your favor over time.
Here’s what actually makes a trader profitable:
🟡Build a system with edge
Your strategy should produce only four types of outcomes: big wins, small wins, breakevens, and small losses. The key is cutting out big losses entirely — they kill your equity curve.
🟡 Use stop losses and trailing stops
Stops keep your downside controlled. Trailing stops help let winners run. Together, they shape your win/loss profile.
🟡 Backtest and refine your entries/exits
Your edge needs proof. Backtesting helps you understand how the system performs over time — not just on one trade.
🟡 Control position size
Never risk more than 1–2% of your capital on a single trade. Sizing based on volatility helps you stay in the game when the market gets rough.
🟡Only take trades with good risk/reward
Before entering, ask: “Is the reward at least 2x the risk?” High R:R setups reduce the need for a high win rate.
🟡Track your expectancy
Expectancy is how much, on average, you make per dollar risked. If that number’s positive, your system is working.
🟡Know your profit factor
It’s your gross profit divided by gross loss (including fees/slippage). A profit factor above 1 means you're net profitable.
This isn’t about luck or intuition.
It’s about math, discipline, and sticking to a system that works.
