Entry model · v1.4
London Judas Swing
Fade the fake move: London opens by raiding the Asian range (the Judas swing), then reverses. Trade the displacement back through the range toward opposing liquidity.
- LONDON
- MIN R:R 3:1
- RISK 0.5%
Required
Every box checks or there is no trade
- Asian range is clean and well-defined
- London sweeps the Asian high or low
- Sweep rejects: close back inside the range
- MSS + FVG confirm the reversal direction
- Entry on the retrace, stop beyond the Judas extreme
Optional confluence
Not mandatory — each one adds weight
- Daily bias agrees with the reversal direction
- Target: opposite side of the Asian range, then PDH/PDL
Warnings
If one of these fires, stand down
- Avoid on days with red-folder London news
This checklist ships inside the workstation: the Decision Cockpit scores every rule against the live chart and holds the plan at “needs confirmation” until the required boxes check. Where the model is automated, the backtester replays the same rules over years of history — no lookahead, stop-first fills.

Discipline
The model is half the trade.
Trade the windows, not the noise
Most displacement happens in the kill zones. Trading dead hours means giving spread and chop your edge back.
Respect the calendar
High-impact news is engineered liquidity. Stand aside 30 minutes around red folders unless news volatility is explicitly your model.
Consistency over perfection
Execute the same model the same way every time. A mediocre model executed consistently beats a brilliant one executed randomly.
