The Origins of Turtle Soup Trading: Linda Raschke, False Breakouts, and Market Psychology
Rule the Candle. Rule the Trade.
INTRODUCTION
Turtle Soup is built on a simple idea: most traders are wrong at obvious highs and lows.
Instead of chasing breakouts, Turtle Soup fades them.
It focuses on false breakouts, stop hunts, and emotional traps.
WHO CREATED TURTLE SOUP?
The Turtle Soup concept was popularized by Linda Bradford Raschke.
She studied market behavior and noticed that when price broke obvious highs or lows,
traders rushed in — and price often reversed violently.
This behavior became the foundation of Turtle Soup.
Linda Bradford Raschke
Creator of Turtle Soup Strategy
A legendary trader who recognized that the most obvious breakouts often become the most profitable reversals.
Her revolutionary approach transformed how traders view false breakouts and stop hunts in the market.
THE PSYCHOLOGY BEHIND TURTLE SOUP
Turtle Soup is not about indicators.
It is about people.
Breakouts attract:
- •FOMO
- •Late buyers and sellers
- •Stop orders
- •Emotional decisions
Institutions see these clusters as liquidity.
WHAT IS A FALSE BREAKOUT?
A false breakout happens when price breaks a clear high or low,
triggers breakout entries,
sweeps stops,
and then reverses aggressively.
This is the Turtle Soup setup.
WHY TURTLE SOUP WORKS
It uses:
- •Liquidity mechanics
- •Crowd psychology
- •Stop clustering
- •Mean reversion
It fades the crowd.
