Liquidity Lab notes
Build the framework.
A setup is not frozen when the first imbalance appears. New candles can weaken the original FVG, change available range, or invalidate the framework.
A stale entry is one whose original context or expected repricing no longer offers the planned opportunity.
If price is too far from the intended entry, the objective is unclear, or the delivery potential has disappeared, choose No Trade.
Missing a move is a normal outcome. Chasing converts a planned model into an unplanned decision.
Key rules
Reassess the original FVG before leaving an order active.
Cancel when the framework or entry quality is no longer valid.
Choose No Trade when direction, confirmation, objective, or range is insufficient.
Common mistakes
Believing cancellation means the analysis failed.
Moving the entry simply to participate.
Forcing a trade after the expected delivery has already occurred.
Liquidity Lab practice interpretation
Knowledge check
Is missing the move a reason to chase?
Reveal answer
No. A missed move is preferable to abandoning the planned framework and chasing price.
