Entry Model: Liquidity Sweep (SFP)

The Swing Failure Pattern (SFP)

The SFP is the art of trading after the trap. When price sweeps a liquidity level and fails to hold, it creates one of the highest-probability reversal entries.

The Anatomy of an SFP

• •Price approaches a known liquidity level (PDH, PDL, swing high/low)
• •Price breaks through the level (triggering stop losses)
• •Price immediately reverses and closes back below/above the level
• •The breakout was fake – the sweep was real

Why SFPs Work

• •Stop losses above highs = Buy orders (for short sellers closing)
• •Institutions use these buy orders as liquidity to fill their own sell orders
• •Once filled, there's no reason to go higher – price reverses

Entry Rules

• •Entry: On the close of the rejection candle (after the sweep)
• •Stop Loss: Beyond the sweep wick
• •Take Profit: Previous swing low or opposing POI
• •Minimum R:R: 1:3

Key Filters

• •The sweep must happen at a significant liquidity level
• •The rejection must be immediate (within 1-3 candles)
• •The HTF trend should support the reversal direction
