Updated Asian Stop Hunt Model
STOP HUNT MODEL – STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The Stop Hunt Model is designed to capture high-probability trades by targeting stop-loss liquidity from retail traders at buy-side and sell-side liquidity zones. The strategy focuses on identifying where liquidity is taken during the Asian session, waiting for a Change of Character (CHoCH), and then entering from unfilled orders (Balanced Price Range / Imbalance) in the direction of the dominant IPDA bias. The objective is to trade from engineered liquidity sweeps toward the next logical liquidity pool, while maintaining strict risk control.
The model operates primarily on the 5-minute chart, with early confirmation on the 3-minute chart. The Asian Killzone is used to define the initial range, plotting its high and low. Higher-timeframe liquidity from Daily, 4H, and 1H charts is marked in advance to provide directional context. IPDA direction is determined using macro alignment such as global interest rate bias and long-term trend behavior.
Once the Asian session concludes, price is expected to sweep either the high or low of the Asian range or the previous day’s high/low. After the liquidity sweep, the market must show a valid CHoCH, confirming a shift in internal structure. Entries are taken only after the formation and retest of a Balanced Price Range (BPR) created by overlapping imbalances. Trades are executed from these imbalance zones, targeting the next liquidity area, with stop loss placed at the most recent swing high or low.
This model prioritizes precision over frequency, aiming for fewer trades with higher reward-to-risk ratios, typically 1:3 or better, and a strict daily risk cap.
CHECKLIST – STOP HUNT MODEL
1.Mark Asian Killzone High and Low
2.Identify IPDA directional bias for the pair
3.Mark Buy-side and Sell-side liquidity from Daily, 4H, and 1H
4.Wait for a liquidity sweep (Asian High/Low or Previous Day High/Low)
5.Confirm a valid CHoCH
6.Identify a valid BPR (overlapping imbalance)
7.Enter trade from the BPR zone
8.Target the next liquidity pool
9.Place stop loss at the last swing high or low
RULES – STOP HUNT MODEL STRATEGY
> Always pre-mark Buy-side and Sell-side liquidity on 1D, 4H, and 1H
> Asian Killzone must complete by 10:30 AM IST
> After Asian close, mark 15-minute timeframe liquidity
> Trade only after the market sweeps the Asian session high or low
> Align trades with IPDA direction:
> Bullish IPDA → Prefer sweep of Asian Low
> Bearish IPDA → Prefer sweep of Asian High
> CHoCH confirmation is mandatory:
> Green CHoCH for bullish setups
> Red CHoCH for bearish setups
Setup conditions:
1. Bullish: CHoCH above price + BPR below price
2. Bearish: CHoCH below price + BPR above price
3.BPR must be formed by overlapping imbalances:
4.Red → Green for bullish
5.Green → Red for bearish
6.Look for V-shaped (bullish) or A-shaped (bearish) candle behavior
7.Entry only on imbalance retest — no chase entries
8.Targets must be killzone extremes or next liquidity zone
9.Stop loss must always be at the last swing high or low
10.No manual exits if aiming for 1:3 RR
11.If price sweeps both sides or no clean sweep occurs → No Trade
12.Trade less, execute cleaner setups
13.Daily target: 1% maximum
