Cześć, co tam, dzisiaj spróbujmy to zrobić w punktach zamiast opowiadać moje historie.
• Płynność to powód, dla którego cena się porusza.
• Rynki poruszają się w kierunku obszarów, gdzie zlecenia są skumulowane.
• Większość zleceń znajduje się powyżej maksimów i poniżej minimów.
• Dlatego cena ciągle atakuje te obszary raz po raz.
🧪 Czym tak naprawdę jest likwidacja płynności
• Likwidacja płynności to ruch przekraczający wyraźne maksimum lub minimum.
• Jej celem jest wywołanie skumulowanych zleceń stop.
• To nie jest osobiste i nie dotyczy twojego stopa.
• Jest to wymagane, aby więksi gracze mogli wchodzić lub wychodzić z pozycji.

We think trading psychology means controlling emotions during a trade.
But from what I’ve seen after years in the markets, psychology is much deeper than that.
It is your identity.
Your habits.
Your relationship with uncertainty.
Your ability to sit still when nothing is happening.
Your ability to follow a process even after a loss.
And most importantly… your ability to stop lying to yourself.
Because every trader on the planet is operating from one of these five psychological stages, and until you understand where you are, you will keep repeating the same cycle over and over again while convincing yourself that the next strategy, the next indicator, or the next mentor will finally fix everything.
It won’t.
I’ve watched traders spend years jumping from system to system while the real problem was never the strategy itself. The problem was the person executing it.
🟢 Stage 1 — The Beginner
This is where almost everyone starts. Random trades. Random sessions. Random risk.Random emotions.
One day they are breakout traders.
Next week they trade supply and demand.
Three days later they discover ICT.
Then they find some indicator strategy on YouTube with “93% win rate.”
They keep switching because every new strategy gives them hope and dopamine. It feels productive. It feels like progress. But in reality they are avoiding the uncomfortable truth that consistency comes from repetition, not constant change.
At this stage emotions completely control execution even if the trader does not realize it yet.
😨 Fear when price pulls back.
🤑 Greed when they see candles expanding.
⚠️ FOMO when they miss an entry.
😤 Revenge after a stop loss.
Everything becomes emotional because there is no structure behind the trading.
❌ No defined sessions.
❌ No clear model.
❌ No rules for risk.
❌ No maximum trades per day.
❌ No process.
Just chaos.And chaos always feels exciting in the beginning because beginners confuse stimulation with progress.
🟠 Stage 2 — The Hustler
This stage is dangerous because now the trader thinks he is working hard.
This is the trader with four monitors open, twenty charts, multiple Telegram groups, trading London session, New York session, Asia session, trying to catch every move like the market owes him money.
The hustler believes more trades equals more income because that logic works in the normal world.
📈 Work more → earn more.
But trading does not reward effort. Trading rewards precision. That realization takes time.
The hustler overtrades constantly because deep down he still does not trust patience.
🔥 He forces setups.
🏃 He chases candles.
🎯 He enters late.
💥 He revenge trades aggressively after losses.
And risk management barely exists here.
⚠️ Five percent risk per trade.
⚠️ Ten percent risk on “high conviction.”
⚠️ Increasing lot sizes after losses.
This is usually where accounts disappear. Because he still believes intensity creates results.
🔴 Stage 3 — The Loop
This is where most traders get trapped for years. And honestly, this is probably the hardest stage psychologically, because by now the trader actually knows what to do.
That is the painful part.
📚 He has the strategy.
📋 He has the checklist.
🧠 He understands risk management.
⏳ He knows he should wait for A+ setups.
🚫 He knows revenge trading destroys consistency.
Yet he still breaks his own rules. Because he cannot control himself consistently.
That is the loop. You promise yourself: “Next week I’ll be disciplined.”
Then one loss happens.
❌ You overtrade.
❌ You force a setup.
❌ You revenge trade.
❌ You destroy a good week in one afternoon.
Then guilt comes. Motivation videos start again. A fresh reset on Sunday. Another promise.
And the cycle repeats.
This stage hurts because eventually you run out of people to blame.
You cannot blame the mentor anymore.
You cannot blame the market makers.
You cannot blame manipulation.
You cannot blame politics, the economy, or the broker.
At some point you realize the common denominator in every blown account was you.
But its great, because that realization is actually the beginning of progress.
🔵 Stage 4 — The Awakening
This is where trading starts becoming internal instead of external. The trader finally understands that another strategy will not save him, because the issue was never lack of information.It was lack of self-control.
This is where the noise starts disappearing.
📉 Less trades.
📉 Less charts.
📉 Less stimulation.
📉 Less ego.
The trader begins protecting capital instead of chasing fast money.
🛡️ One percent risk suddenly feels enough.
🎯 Three good trades per week becomes acceptable.
🧘 Patience starts feeling powerful instead of boring.
This stage changes your entire lifestyle too as you realize overstimulation destroys clarity.
Too much social media. Too much noise. Too much comparison. Too much need for excitement.
You start simplifying everything and focusing on live:
☀️ Wake up.
🏋️ Train.
📓 Journal.
📊 Backtest.
🧠 Prepare.
🎯 Execute only when your setup appears.
No forcing.
No gambling.
No emotional spikes.
Most people outside trading would call this lifestyle boring. But that boredom is exactly what creates consistency. This is also the stage where many traders begin healing parts of themselves that had nothing to do with charts.
🧩 Past failures.
💸 Scarcity mindset.
👥 Need for validation.
😰 Fear of losing.
🚪 Fear of success.
⚡ Addiction to chaos.
Because trading exposes every weakness you try to hide from yourself.
⚫ Stage 5 — The Operator
This is the level most traders think they want when they first start. But very few actually understand what it looks like.
The operator is calm. He stopped emotionally attaching himself to outcomes.
He trusts his process more than individual trades. Everything feels normal.
📈 Wins do not create euphoria.
📉 Losses do not create panic.
⚖️ Execution becomes neutral.
The operator does not wake up trying to make money today. He wakes up trying to execute properly today.
That is a massive difference. He understands that consistency is built from thousands of properly executed decisions, not from one big trade.And ironically, once money stops becoming the obsession, performance usually improves dramatically.
Because now there is no emotional pressure attached to every candle.
At this level trading becomes almost boring to watch from the outside.
❌ No drama.
❌ No gambling.
❌ No emotional explosions.
Just:
✅ Structure.
✅ Patience.
✅ Execution.
✅ Repetition.
And honestly… that is probably the biggest wake up call in trading.
Most people enter this industry searching for excitement. But the traders who survive long term are usually the ones who learned how to become emotionally boring.
Every trader has to go through pain before they finally stop searching externally and start looking internally. That process cannot be skipped. The market humbles everyone first.
This is why Im constantly talking about psychology and habits. This is what creates discipline.
The question is whether you learn from it or spend another few years repeating the same cycle while pretending the next strategy will change your life.
Because eventually you will realize:
The strategy was never the real challenge.
You were.

If you don’t know what you are looking for on the chart, every candle becomes pressure. Every pullback looks dangerous. Every small move against you feels personal.
That is why consistency does not start with motivation.It starts with structure.
Before I even think about entering a trade, I want to understand the market from the top down.
First, I go to the higher time frame. I want to see where price is trading inside the bigger dealing range. Are we near the highs? Are we near the lows? Are we trading in the middle where the market usually becomes messy?
This already filters a lot of bad decisions. Because many traders lose money simply because they are trying to execute in the middle of nowhere. So knowing some patter like this is cool but if not applied within correct market context than its same like with playing the black and red roulette.
🫟For me, the best trades usually come after the manipulation is done, not before. My rule is No manipulation No Trade.
I want to see price react after manipulation.
I want to see order flow shift.
I want to know where my invalidation is before I enter. If I don’t know where my stop loss is, or if trade doest offer a good risk reward I don’t have a trade. Its quite happening quite that I can predict where market is going, but I don't have good entry setup. Hence again, no trade.
🫟 Here is my process
🧪Higher time frame
Is there HTF CLS Range framework which is playing out. Can I scale some LTF trade inside this context?
🧪Dealing range
Are we in the Discount / Premium ? If we are in the premium I skip long setups. If we are in the discount I skip short setups.
🧪Liquidity
Where is next potential liquidity, is there any trap set ? Double top , Double bottom etc.. Yesterday It would be my targets.
🧪CLS range
Is there any CLS Range candle that tapped in the liqudiity zone and created my pattern that I can follow?
🧪Trend
Are we overall bullish or Bearish? IF bullish I want to be buying stop hunts of lows. If bullish I wanna Sell stop hunts of highs.
🧪Manipulation
Did price manipulated the highs / lows? Or was it clean break out? If manipulation I could have a trade and above / bellow manipulation I can set my Stop loss.
🧪Confirmation
After manipulation I need to have order block confirmation. On the correct timeframe. Fore example if weekly CLS Range I need confirmation on H4. And on Daily CLS Range I need H1 OB.
🧪Execution
Do I get good risk reward setup? IF yes then entering. If not I consider if it worth wait pullback for entry. Then I leave it SL or 50% partial. Not closing anymore just because I see price going against me. It's normal and I can be wrong in any trade. Thats cost of doing the business. Im dont need to be right in every trade, but I know Im effective in series of trades.
🧪Risk management
Always risking the same per each trade 0.7% on prop accounts. Up to 3% on personal accounts.
🧪Journal
Then after the trade is finished, the real work starts. I journal it.
Not only entry, stop loss, target, and result. I also write what I felt.
Did I hesitate?
Did I follow the plan?
Did I enter too early?
Did I close too soon?
Did I respect the model?
Because the journal tells you the truth. And sometimes the truth hurts a little bit, but it also saves you. and help you grow in the long run. Mainly it supports your comfidence with the statistical data.
🧪 Review
Every Saturday I look at the trades again with a calm mind. No emotions. No pressure. No open positions. I review my trades and do self reflection. To realize mistakes. Thats the next step to avoid them next time..
The goal is to become the trader who can follow the same process with discipline, even when the last trade lost.
That is where consistency begins.

Cześć traderzy,
Możecie zauważyć coś interesującego, jeśli spędzicie wystarczająco dużo czasu na obserwowaniu cen.
Nawet gdy rynek jest w trendzie, poniedziałek często przynosi pullback, konsolidację lub wolne ruchy cenowe przed prawdziwym ruchem tygodnia.
I jest ku temu powód. Poniedziałek często wyznacza początkową równowagę tygodnia.
To pierwszy zakres, w którym traderzy zaczynają budować opinie, zajmować pozycje, gonić wybicia i zgadywać kierunek. A co się dzieje, gdy zbyt wiele osób zbyt wcześnie buduje swoje nastawienie?

Każdy trader to widział: zajmujesz pozycję na „oczywistym” poziomie, tylko po to, by zostać wyciągniętym przez szybki ruch i potem rynek idzie dokładnie tam, gdzie się spodziewałeś. To nie był pech. To było polowanie na stop, mówiąc innymi słowy, chwytanie płynności.
Polowanie na Stop
Ostatnio natknąłem się na ten cytat:
Nie próbuj kupować na dołku i sprzedawać na szczycie. To nie może się udać, chyba że jesteś kłamcą. - Bernard Baruch
Dziś pokażę ci, że to tak naprawdę jest błędne. To zjawisko zdarza się w kółko na
