TRADING SUCCESS
The concept of liquidity in the markets is widely talked about in the forex industry but not
often does it get explained in enough detail for developing traders to fully grasp the
concept and understand how to use it to achieve success in trading. In this free guide we
discuss what liquidity is and how to use it to your advantage to achieve success in trading.
What is liquidity?
In simple terms, liquidity is the money within the market. It is the “fuel” used to
move price from point A to point B. The goal is to place a buy or sell order once the market
has enough fuel to move price from one level to another to fill these orders.
Before placing a buy order, it is important to wait for sell side liquidity (stop losses) to be
taken out first to fuel the move up. Similarly, buy side liquidity (stop losses) should be
taken out before placing a sell order to properly catch the move to the downside. I will
explain all of this in more detail later in the guide.

Sell side liquidity is the stop losses resting below old lows of traders who want to LONG
the market. Similar to the idea above, we want to make sure the sell side is taken before
we place a buy order in the market.

Buy side liquidity is the stop losses that are resting above old highs of traders who want to
SHORT the market. So, in order for the market to make a significant move to the
downside, these stop losses need to be taken out to fuel the move down. We want to see
this happen before placing a short order in the market.

As you can see in the examples above, the move to the up- or down -side happens after the
market runs through the key areas of liquidity. The move is then targeting liquidity in the
other direction. We can use this information to look for areas to enter the market, as well
as areas to target as our take-profits! This will increase your chance of a winning trade.
Here are a couple examples of trades taken according to my strategy that I teach in the
RM Trading program using the ideology that I just discussed.

Closing Remarks
What you see in this guide is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to using liquidity in
trading. Liquidity is a very important concept to know as it is the fuel that drives the
market. Once you understand it and learn how to integrate it with a strategy, you will start
to see great results in the market.
Using liquidity in trading is like a game. When we go for one side, we have to go searching
for the other side. A clear run on liquidity should take place before we look to get in a
trade - I can’t emphasize this enough!
Practice applying liquidity to your trading through backtesting and forward testing to
train your eyes to spot key areas of liquidity. By doing this, you will be one step closer to
success in trading.
