Execution Framework

05 — Entry Model

Only execute after the thesis has a trigger. Use VWAP reclaim, FVG reaction, OTE, order block response, liquidity sweep continuation, or value acceptance.

Why this happens

The market is solving for liquidity, not your opinion.

A thesis is not an entry. Traders lose because they confuse being right about direction with having a valid execution point. The entry model turns market context into a defined action.

  • VWAP reclaim shows value recovery
  • FVG reaction can define continuation
  • OTE can frame discounted/premium entry
  • Order block response can define invalidation
Execution begins only after confirmation.
Why LiquidityLab uses it

This step turns noise into a decision filter.

LiquidityLab uses entry models to remove randomness. The trade must have a trigger, invalidation, and a reason connected to liquidity and structure.
