Silver stop-hunts before the real move are not personal — they are liquidity. Fading thin Asia prints on XAG has cost me more than wrong direction in London.PTScalper wrote:Hey traders, If you’ve been trading Silver (XAGUSD) for any amount of time, you already know the drill. It’s highly volatile, erratic, and notoriously good at hunting retail stops before reversing directly into the original trend.
I only look for sweep-and-reclaim when the book has depth, usually London into the overlap, and I treat live spread as part of the setup. If the spread already eats half the scalp, the candle can be perfect and the trade is still wrong.
Indicators help mark the sweep. Session and spread decide if it is tradable.
Are you requiring the sweep to print inside your active session window?
