Liquidity Sweep Trading is the library. The Dax Vador is the live book.
The desk is built around one price-action mechanic: the liquidity sweep. Not an ICT encyclopaedia. Not a signal channel. A narrow playbook — map resting liquidity, wait for the raid, demand a close back inside the level, then decide.
The public face is a character. The rules are not.
Why a sweep desk
Most “smart money” pages teach forty concepts. Stops still cluster in the same places: previous-day highs and lows, equal highs and lows, session extremes, round numbers.
A sweep is the brief push through that pool and the failure to hold beyond it. A breakout is acceptance. The difference is the close, not a story about institutions.
That distinction is the whole site:
- Buy-side liquidity above obvious highs
- Sell-side liquidity below obvious lows
- Raid → reclaim → displacement → entry
- Invalidation when price accepts beyond the swept level
After years of switching methods, the sweep is the piece that survived contact with a live book. Everything else on this site supports that one observation.
The working name for the checklist is the LST Sequence. It is not a prediction engine.
The trader behind the helmet
Charts since 2017. First market: gold.
The book later narrowed to DAX index CFDs (GER40 / DE40) — more than three years on that contract — because the asset stopped being a symbol and started being a behaviour: cash open, session liquidity, how a CFD print differs from the cash high and low.
Prop-firm path, without varnish: on the order of fifty challenges attempted; several accounts funded and later lost; four payouts before anything that looked like consistency. Several accounts blown. No blank years — always in the book.
That record is not a sales argument. It is why the filters exist.
Bruce Lee’s line sits here on purpose, next to a statue that already made it onto the portrait: empty the form, be like water. A sweep desk that cannot drop a method when the market refuses it is just another costume.
How the book is run
| On this desk | |
|---|---|
| Instrument traded | DAX CFD (GER40 / DE40) |
| Teaching examples | Gold, majors, indices — same mechanic |
| Timeframes documented | M1, M15, M30, H1 |
| Execution | After a closed bar — not on the piercing wick |
| Hard rule | No entry once distribution is already underway (the move left without the entry) |
| Stand aside | News days, Fridays, bank holidays |
A candle still open is provisional. A stop is a market order, not a promised fill.
What you will not find here: “entry now”, a guaranteed win rate, or the claim that a sweep proves intent. A sweep is an inference after the candle closes.
A public sample of sessions (taken vs passed, R) is not on this page yet. Until that journal is published, treat every chart as illustration — not a track record.
Tools — what they are for
The MT4/MT5 indicators on the MQL5 Market (Sweep Protocol, The Notorious OB, Smart Sweep Sniper, Midnight Pro Edition, plus free Essentials) are built on this desk and used on this desk.
Their job is not to trade for you. It is to educate the eye: mark the map, mark the closed-bar event, make the sweep sequence visible so you can learn to see it without the tool.
They do not place orders. They do not replace the close test. Reviews and demo counts stay on the Market listing — including the early, thin ones.
This desk sells indicators only. No mentorship product, no signal room.
What authority means here
- Was the pool obvious before the move?
- Did price trade through it?
- Did the candle close back inside?
- Did displacement follow?
- Where is the idea invalid?
Charts on this site should carry instrument, timeframe, date, and a verdict (A+ / B / C / stand aside). Missed raids belong in the record as much as clean ones.

Trading leveraged CFDs carries a high risk of loss. Nothing on this site is financial advice. Past charts, challenges, payouts and simulated R are not future results. Never trade capital you cannot afford to lose.
