What if I told you that you don’t need 100 indicators, a million strategies, or endless screen time to win in trading?

You just need One Setup for Life.

Yup, this is the only setup you need to master. It’s clean, logical, and used by some of the sharpest traders on the planet—including ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts. Let’s dive into it step by step and break down why this is the setup you’ll want to marry.
🧠 The Premise: Smart Money Always Leaves Clues

This setup is based on Smart Money Concepts—a.k.a. what the big players (institutions) do before the actual move happens.

Their game?

Manipulate liquidity

Hunt retail stops

Create inversion zones

Then implode the market in the opposite direction.

🔍 Step-by-Step Breakdown of the Setup

1. Time is Everything (Macro Time Window 🕰️)

Watch the market during ICT Macro Times (NY Time):

AM Macros:

7:50–8:10 AM

8:50–9:10 AM

9:50–10:10 AM

10:50–11:10 AM

11:50–12:10 PM

PM Macros:

1:20–1:40 PM

2:50–3:10 PM

3:15–3:45 PM

3:50–4:10 PM

These are the time windows where institutional moves often begin. Smart money does not play randomly—they work like clockwork.
2. The Stop Hunt Trap 🎯

Look for a sudden spike above a previous high. This is where liquidity lies. Retail traders see a breakout. Smart money sees stop loss orders ripe for the picking.

They run the highs → Grab the stops → Price reverses fast.

This creates your "Stop Hunt".

3. Inversion = First Entry Confirmation 🔁

Once price returns to the zone it just violated (where the stop hunt occurred), this area becomes an inversion zone—from resistance to support or vice versa.

➡️ Candle closes below the inversion zone?
🔥 That’s your first confirmation.
✅ Entry on the next candle open.

Stop loss?
📍Place it above the high of the stop hunt.
4. Breaker = Second Entry Confirmation 🚨

Price keeps dropping. It comes back to test the Breaker Block (last bullish candle before the drop). If that fails...

➡️ Candle closes below the breaker?
🔥 That’s your second confirmation.
✅ Entry on the next candle open.

This one’s your safest sniper shot. It's where price tried to reverse but failed.

5. Risk-Reward? 1:2 Minimum 🎯

This setup thrives on tight stop losses and sniper entries.
→ You’re aiming for a minimum 1:2 R:R
(Meaning: Risk $100 to make $200)

If you're wrong? Small controlled loss.
If you're right? 💥 The move runs hard, just like smart money planned it.
