The Judas Swing
姓名d after the biblical betrayal, the Judas Swing is the initial fake move at session open designed to trap early-入场 retail traders. 方法如下 it works at London open: during Asia, price 创建s a range. At 8:00 GMT, price aggressively breaks one side of the Asian range (say, breaks above the Asian high). Breakout traders enter long. Then within 15-60 minutes, price reverses sharply, sweeps the Asian low, and trends in the true direction for the rest of the day.
Trading the Judas Swing
第一步: 3月k the Asian session high and low before London. 第二步: At London open, watch which direction price initially moves. 第三步: Do NOT enter with the initial move — this is the Judas Swing. 步骤 4: Wait for the reversal. 何时 price sweeps the opposite side of the Asian range and 创建s a CHoCH on the 5M/15M, enter in the new direction. 步骤 5: Target the other side of the Asian range and beyond.
The Turtle Soup Pattern
Developed by Larry Connors, Turtle Soup fades breakouts of previous day highs and lows. In SMC terms: when price breaks above yesterday's high by a small amount (1-5 pips) then immediately reverses, it's a 流动性扫荡 of buy-side liquidity. The "breakout" 触发ed buy stops above the high, and institutions used those orders to fill their shorts. Enter short when price drops back below the previous high.
The Spring (威科夫)
The Spring is a false breakdown below a trading range that occurs during accumulation. 价格 breaks below the range support, 触发ing sell stops and panic selling. Institutions absorb all the selling and rapidly reverse price back above the range. The Spring is the highest-probability long 入场 in the 威科夫 schematic because it represents the completion of institutional accumulation.
Common Thread: All Traps Are 流动性 Events
Whether it's a Judas Swing, Turtle Soup, or Spring, the underlying mechanism is identical: institutions need liquidity, they engineer a move to 触发 stops, they use those 触发ed orders to fill their own positions, then they move price in their intended direction. Quantum Algo detects these 流动性扫荡s in real time, helping you avoid the trap and trade the reversal.
