Turtle Soup Model Overview

The ICT Turtle Soup Model is a price action-based trading strategy introduced by Michael J. Huddleston, also known as the Inner Circle Trader (ICT). It is designed to capitalize on false breakouts of key swing highs or lows—often referred to as “liquidity grabs.”

Building on the original Turtle Soup concept, the ICT version incorporates smart money principles, focusing on market structure, liquidity, and timing.
