How to Trade Turtle Soup Step by Step
Rule the Candle. Rule the Trade.
INTRODUCTION
Turtle Soup is simple — but not random.
It is a structured trap-based reversal model.
This article shows you exactly how to trade it
without guessing, chasing, or overcomplicating.
1STEP 1: FIND AN OBVIOUS HIGH OR LOW
Turtle Soup only works at clear levels.
If everyone can see it, it is probably valid.
2STEP 2: WAIT FOR THE BREAK
Let price break the level.
Do not fade it early.
You want breakout traders to enter.
3STEP 3: WATCH FOR FAILURE
Failure is the signal.
Wicks. Rejection. Fast return into the range.
4STEP 4: ENTER AFTER CONFIRMATION
Never enter on the breakout.
Enter on the failure.
5STEP 5: STOP PLACEMENT
Stops should be:
- Tight
- Logical
- Beyond the sweep
6STEP 6: TARGETS
Targets should be:
- Prior range
- Fair value
- Liquidity pools
Entry Confirmation
Wait for confirmation before entering. Look for:
- Price rejection at the breakout level
- Volume spike on reversal
- Candlestick reversal patterns
- Liquidity pools
SESSION TIMING
Best Turtle Soups form:
London Open
High liquidity and volatility create ideal conditions
New York Open
Maximum institutional activity and stop hunts
COMMON MISTAKES
Trading every breakout
Not all breakouts are Turtle Soup setups
No context
Ignoring higher timeframe structure
No patience
Entering before confirmation appears
Overleveraging
Taking too much risk on single setups
CLOSING
Turtle Soup is not fast.
It is precise.
Rule the Candle. Rule the Trade.
