Got surprised by price turning against you?
The market makers might be cooking Turtle Soup.
Here's the ICT Turtle Soup concept in a nutshell:
⦿ Often will trap retail traders into Breakout idea.
⦿ Turtle Soup is a stop hunt above Short Term Swing High/Low.
⦿ It really seems like a hunt on stops in LTF.
⦿ But most of the time if we zoom out to the HTF, it will be a Tap into HTF PD array like with FVG.
⦿ Turtle Soup can also be seen as a way to destroy trader's trailing stops.
⦿ Also note that Turtle Soup doesn’t effectively need a Market Shift.

🧠ICT's Optimal Trader Entry:
-------------------------------------------------------
A) Identify Dealing Range
Start by marking recent the highs and lows of lower and one higher TF.
B) Market Structure Change:
Look for signs like a breached short-term low.
C) Entering the OTE Zone
Wait for the 62%-79% Fibonacci retracement.
D) Ideal Timing:
Trade between 8:30-11:00 AM NY time for higher potential setups.
E) Fibonacci as a Tool
Optionally use it to spot oversold conditions, not a guaranteed outcome.
F) Risk-Reward
I always aim for a 1:3 ratio to maximize potential gains while controlling risk.
