eBacktesting - Learning: Inducement

Inducement is the “trap” move that often shows up right before a real push. Price briefly takes an internal swing level (a small high/low), pulls traders in the wrong direction, and then snaps back — usually right before continuing toward the larger objective.

How to study it:
- First, get a simple trend bias (are we making higher highs/higher lows, or lower highs/lower lows?).
- Watch the most recent internal swing level inside that trend.
- An inducement often looks like a quick sweep through that internal level, followed by a close back on the “correct” side.

These indicators are built to pair perfectly with the eBacktesting extension, where traders can practice these concepts step-by-step. Backtesting concepts visually like this is one of the fastest ways to learn, build confidence, and improve trading performance.
