Episode Description

New year and we are still here! In our first episode of season 8 of Let’s Talk Forex, Alison and Chris break down how institutions actually move the markets and why liquidity, not indicators or manipulation myths, drives major price moves. They explain why large players trade differently from retail traders, how stop-loss orders create liquidity, and how institutional activity leaves clear footprints in price action. You’ll learn to recognise false breakouts, liquidity grabs, and real market structure shifts, and how to adapt your thinking to read price more objectively instead of chasing moves. This episode is ideal for traders who want a clear, practical understanding of why price moves the way it does, without hype or jargon.
