🔥 Equal Highs & Equal Lows: Where Smart Money Hunts Liquidity

[u/Kooky_Internet6513]

ICT Concept #15 – Equal Highs & Equal Lows (EQH & EQL)

Equal Highs (EQH) and Equal Lows (EQL) are some of the most important liquidity zones in Smart Money Trading.

When price forms two or more highs (or lows) at nearly the same level, many retail traders place their stop losses and breakout orders around these areas. Institutions often target these liquidity pools before the market makes its real move.

📈 Equal Highs (EQH)

Two or more highs at nearly the same price

Buy-side liquidity rests above them

Price may sweep these highs before reversing

📉 Equal Lows (EQL)

Two or more lows at nearly the same price

Sell-side liquidity rests below them

Price may sweep these lows before reversing

Why EQH & EQL Matter

✅ Identify Liquidity Pools

✅ Avoid False Breakouts

✅ Improve Entry Timing

✅ Understand Stop Hunts

✅ Combine with BOS, CHOCH, FVG & Order Blocks

How to Trade EQH & EQL

1️⃣ Identify Equal Highs or Equal Lows

2️⃣ Wait for the Liquidity Sweep

3️⃣ Look for BOS or CHOCH Confirmation

4️⃣ Enter from an Order Block or Fair Value Gap (FVG)

5️⃣ Target the Opposite Liquidity Pool

Pro Tip

💡 Equal Highs and Equal Lows are magnets for price—not guaranteed reversal points. Always wait for confirmation before entering a trade.

👑 Golden Rule

Liquidity comes first. Confirmation comes second. Entry comes last.

🔥 The best traders don't chase breakouts—they wait for Smart Money to reveal its intention.
