Copy This: The Stop Hunt Trade
The complete stop hunt trade from mark-up to entry to management.
What This Means
This is one of the highest-probability setups in SMC trading. Banks need liquidity. Liquidity is at equal highs and lows. When they go get that liquidity, they leave a very clear fingerprint. You just have to read it and react.
