What Is Liquidity Pool?
Resting orders above/below levels that price may seek before reversing.
A liquidity pool is resting stop and limit liquidity clustered beyond obvious highs or lows—price may sweep the pool before reversing or continuing.
Pools and sweeps
Equal highs are a pool above; equal lows below. Liquidity sweep glossary ties here: alert traders watch whether sweep returns inside range (fade) or holds outside (continuation). Pools are magnets in theory; execution still needs stops. Resting orders above/below levels that price may seek before reversing. Chart language must convert to a pass/fail checklist line; Liquidity Pool is useful only when it changes entry, skip, or size. On TraderBots-style workflows, manual execution remains the default: Discord delivers context, you deliver discipline. Review monthly whether trades tagged with liquidity pool improved expectancy in R after spread; demote the tag if not. During drawdown, tighten how liquidity pool gates new alerts instead of increasing size to recover faster—recovery math punishes oversize rebounds. When SwitchPro charts disagree with a VIP screenshot, reconcile symbols and sessions before blaming the alert. Keep a single journal column for liquidity pool so skipped trades are scored alongside winners—skips often reveal filters that work.
Multiple pools
Stacked equal highs create deeper liquidity targets. Your R:R to the next pool may differ from the alert's TP1—compute yours.
Session nuance
Asia highs as pools into London open behave differently than NY afternoon pools on indices. Session tag in journal again.
Overuse
Labeling every wick a pool makes the term meaningless. Require at least two touches or clear equal highs/lows.
Pool age
Older equal highs may be weaker magnets—note age in ticks or days when tagging sweeps.
Pool plus session
London sweep of Asia pool is a named setup—tag it when it occurs to measure agent fit.
Pool map
Draw liquidity pools once per week on higher TF—context for intraday alerts.
Pools in live markup
Mark weekly liquidity pools on H4; intraday alerts reference those pools or ignore them. Tag sweeps of Asia highs separately from London continuation breaks—win rates differ. Do not label every wick a pool; require two touches minimum.
