Beat the Market Maker (BTMM) strategy, developed by Steve Mauro

Why is it called an RUL Top?

The acronym stands for Ride Up Limit . It signifies that the upward ride has reached its limit and the liquidity in that direction has been exhausted. The Market Maker has filled their sell orders by inducing retail buys, and now they are ready to push price down to the next target zone. btmm steve mauro part05 trading zone and rul top

• Trading Zone: The battlefield where stops are gathered.
• RUL Top: The confirmation signal to enter the trade after the stops are taken.
• Rule: Trade the breakout only after it retests the RUL.

• Structure reference points: recent swing highs/lows, consolidation edges, moving averages, or VWAP act as anchors that define the zone’s boundaries.
• Volatility envelope: an expected range around the reference point based on recent ATR or realized volatility sets how far price can deviate and still be considered within the zone.
• Time filter: certain hours or candle counts (e.g., first hour after open, or X candles after a breakout) restrict when entries are allowed, avoiding thin, random moves.
• Confirmation trigger: a specific signal (rejection wick, engulfing candle, momentum divergence, volume spike) required inside the zone before entry.
