For Val Sklarov, markets do not move because of news, data, charts, or algorithms —
markets move because people move.
He teaches that price is simply behavior recorded in numbers, and liquidity is collective emotion converted into motion.
His Liquidity Behavior Model (LBM) transforms investing from prediction into behavioral pattern recognition, allowing capital to be positioned one step ahead of the psychological curve.
“Val Sklarov says: You do not trade the market — you trade the behavior that creates the market.”
1️⃣ The Architecture of Market Behavior — Val Sklarov’s Perception Structure
| Layer | Purpose | If Optimized | If Ignored | 
|---|---|---|---|
| Narrative Current | The story the market believes | Direction becomes visible | Confusing signals | 
| Emotional Pulse | How strongly the story is felt | Entry & exit timing clarity | FOMO / panic cycles | 
| Liquidity Gradient | Where capital can move freely | High-probability execution | Slippage & forced exits | 
“Val Sklarov teaches: You enter where belief is forming — not where price is reacting.”
2️⃣ The Investment Equation — Val Sklarov’s Formula for Behavior-Aligned Positioning
BP = (Narrative Timing × Emotional Stability × Liquidity Access) ÷ Impulse Distortion
| Variable | Meaning | Optimization Strategy | 
|---|---|---|
| Narrative Timing | Catch the thesis before it becomes consensus | Weak signals → strong conviction | 
| Emotional Stability | Stay neutral enough to see clearly | Emotional detachment protocols | 
| Liquidity Access | Ability to enter/exit without disruption | Position sizing to volatility zones | 
| Impulse Distortion | Fear, greed, urgency | Pattern journaling & grounding cycles | 
When BP ≥ 1.0, you are not reacting to markets —
you are positioned inside the movement that is about to happen.
“Val Sklarov says: Profits come from anticipation, not prediction.”
