​1. Establish Higher Timeframe Bias 4H & 1H
​Objective: Determine the daily market direction before taking any lower-timeframe entry.
​4-Hour & 1-Hour Analysis: Check institutional order flow and location:
​Are we overall Bullish (reaching for higher Buy-Side Liquidity / Premium FVGs)?
​Are we overall Bearish (reaching for lower Sell-Side Liquidity / Discount FVGs)?
​Rule: Only trade in the direction aligned with the higher timeframe bias.
​2. Session Setup (Asian Range Marking)
​Step A: Identify the Asian Session Range (00:00 – 07:00 UTC or 19:00 – 00:00 NY time).
​Step B: Draw horizontal lines at the exact Asian High and Asian Low. These represent key liquidity pools (Buy-Stop and Sell-Stop clusters).
​3. The London Session Liquidity Grab (Judas Swing)
​Time Window: London Open / Kill Zone (typically 02:00 AM – 05:00 AM NY time / 07:00 – 10:00 UTC).
​The Sweep (Manipulation):
​For a Bullish Setup: Price drops lower during London open to sweep below the Asian Low (taking Sell-Side Liquidity).
​For a Bearish Setup: Price spikes higher during London open to sweep above the Asian High (taking Buy-Side Liquidity).
​Note: This initial move is an engineered false breakout designed to trap retail traders.
​4. Entry Execution (5\text{m} Timeframe)
​Switch to the 5-Minute Chart once the liquidity sweep occurs:
​Market Structure Shift (MSS): Wait for price to reverse sharp in the opposite direction, breaking the most recent 5\text{m} swing low (for short) or swing high (for long).
​Inverted Fair Value Gap (iFVG): Look for an existing or newly formed Fair Value Gap that gets broken and inverted (i.e., a bullish FVG that gets failed and closed below becomes a resistance zone, or vice versa).
​Execution: Enter the market limit or market order when price retraces into the iFVG zone.
​5. Risk & Profit Management
​Stop Loss (SL):
​Place the SL a few pips above the highest point of the London sweep (for Shorts) or below the lowest point of the sweep (for Longs).
​Take Profit (TP):
​Primary Target: The opposite Asian level (if Asian Low was swept, target the Asian High, as shown in your chart screenshot).
​Secondary Target: Next external liquidity pool or 4H & 1H PD Array

1) Wake up at 9am est and mark out the Asia/London High/low
2) After 9:30 am wait for one of these levels to get swept
3) Once price sweeps the level go to the 1m TF and look for an IFVG that is 15-25 pts in size
4) When the candle closes above/below the IFVG enter your position and target a fixed 1:2 RR
This exact process has a 78% win rate over the last 3 years
