SMC Asian Session Sweep Entry

Marks the Asian session, waits for a liquidity sweep, and calls the entry the moment market structure confirms it.

The SMC/ICT Asian Sweep Entry Model watches the Asian session range on your chart and identifies the liquidity resting around the session high and low. When price sweeps buy-side or sell-side liquidity, the model then waits for the first qualifying market structure shift to determine whether the move represents a reversal or continuation.

It automatically plots the entry, stop loss, take-profit and 1:1 halfway level. The idea follows a straightforward Smart Money Concepts and ICT-style market sequence: liquidity is taken from the Asian session high or low, price shows displacement or a change in structure, and the reaction that follows helps determine whether the sweep was a liquidity grab before reversal or the beginning of a continuation move.

How it works

1. The Asian session range is marked using your configured session hours (broker/server time), creating a defined range between the Asian High and Asian Low. The session box and its high/low lines extend forward to help visualize the liquidity resting around these levels.
2. The model waits for price to interact with that session liquidity by taking out the Asian High or Low. This can be viewed as a liquidity sweep, liquidity grab, or stop run, where external liquidity is taken before the market reveals its next direction.
3. After the sweep, the model watches for confirmation through internal market structure and takes whichever of two setups qualifies first:
   • Reversal — price turns and breaks structure back inside the session range. In SMC terms, the liquidity sweep may have acted as inducement or a liquidity grab before a change in direction.
   • Continuation — price keeps moving and breaks structure outside the range, within a distance you set. This confirms that the sweep was followed by continued directional momentum rather than rejection.
4. An optional higher-timeframe trend filter (H4 by default) establishes the broader directional bias. The lower-timeframe liquidity sweep and structure confirmation must align with this higher-timeframe market direction before a setup is taken. The chart background can also be tinted to display the current bias.
5. You can require the structure break to contain an imbalance, including a Fair Value Gap (FVG), Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG), or Balanced Price Range (BPR). This adds additional price-action confluence and helps confirm that the structure break was accompanied by meaningful displacement.
6. Entry, stop loss and take-profit are drawn automatically. You can configure the stop-loss buffer and risk multiple from 1:1 up to 1:5. Several entry-placement modes are available, including a Fibonacci-based entry mode, allowing the entry to be positioned using retracement levels and the premium/discount concept.

Works on any symbol or timeframe. The model is built around session liquidity, market structure, liquidity sweeps, directional bias and imbalance confirmation, making it particularly suitable for traders who use SMC and ICT-style price action on major Forex pairs and metals with a clearly defined Asian range.

As with any tool based on historical price structure and liquidity concepts, past setups do not guarantee future performance. Test the model on a demo account first and make sure its interpretation of market structure and liquidity aligns with your trading approach.
