Introduction
In the world of futures trading, recognizing price movements within well-defined ranges and identifying liquidity manipulation areas can provide a crucial advantage. This strategy, designed for the M2K futures (which tracks the Russell 2000), is based on a liquidity raid logic aimed at exploiting moments when the price seeks to capture liquidity positioned beyond key support or resistance levels.
Our main focus will be on low-momentum situations, where the market moves within a clear and well-defined range, using the 30-minute timeframe to filter trades. This typically mean-reverting approach seeks to identify points where the price has experienced liquidity manipulation and tends to return to its equilibrium within the range.
The ability to recognize these "raids" and enter the market at the right moment represents an advanced but effective technique for those who can read market structure correctly. In this guide, we will explore the fundamental principles of the strategy and how to apply it in the context of M2K futures, maximizing profit opportunities while controlling risk.

The liquidity raid strategy in M2K futures is based on identifying well-defined ranges in low-momentum market conditions. The primary focus will be on identifying key support and resistance levels where stop-loss orders and pending orders are likely to accumulate.
Using a 30-minute timeframe, the strategy aims to recognize moments when the price briefly exits the range, attempting to capture liquidity beyond these levels before quickly returning to the center of the range. This movement, known as a liquidity raid, represents an opportunity to exploit the price’s tendency to revert to its equilibrium, in line with a mean-reverting approach.
The key to the success of this strategy lies in correctly reading the market structure and identifying the right points for reversal, always considering confirmation through price patterns and volumes that allow us to enter at the right time and manage risk effectively.
