The Foundation
Understand the mechanics behind the move.
Liquidity is simply the availability of orders in the market. Where traders place stops, pending orders and protective levels, pools of resting orders build up. Those areas matter because price needs opposing orders to move efficiently — so the market often travels toward them rather than away from them.
Inducement describes price action that looks like an obvious opportunity and encourages early participation before a larger move develops. Within AM's framework it is used as a contextual clue, not a prediction: it helps you question the obvious setup and wait for the market to show its intent.
Structure is the map. Highs, lows and their sequence tell you which side of the market is being tested and which liquidity remains untouched. Reading structure in context prevents you from treating every break as a signal and gives liquidity and inducement their meaning.
Understanding is only half the process. Execution is confirmation, defined risk, position sizing and the discipline to stand aside when the conditions you rely on are not present. A repeatable process protects you far more than any single idea about direction.
Educational content only. Trading financial markets involves substantial risk and no strategy guarantees profits.
