Asian MNQ Prior RTH Low Sweep
A research-backed NatronFX strategy article showing the Asian-session prior RTH low sweep, reclaim trigger, risk model, and live-alert readout.
51 trades / 49.0% win / 3.06 profit factor / +1.00 avg pts.
What This Setup Is
Asian session sweeps prior RTH low, reclaims it, and targets prior RTH close.
Why It Fires
The prior RTH low is an obvious liquidity level. A sweep below it can flush stops and trap late sellers; the reclaim is the evidence that price rejected the breakdown and may rotate back into the prior range.
Exact Trigger Checklist
- Session window: Asian session, 15:00-23:59 PT.
- Instrument: MNQ on the 1-minute chart.
- Price trades below the prior RTH low and then reclaims back above it.
- Context filter: Gap Up / Open Inside Prior RTH Lower Third.
- Default target concept: prior RTH close or first clean rotation zone.
Good Conditions
- The sweep is clean and does not drift below the level for too long.
- The reclaim happens with clear candle acceptance back above the prior RTH low.
- The prior RTH close is a realistic rotation target.
- Dollar, volatility, and news pressure are not directly fighting the long idea.
Avoid Conditions
- No real reclaim after the sweep.
- Prior RTH levels are missing or stale.
- Price chops around the level with no acceptance.
- A fresh macro headline changes the session context.
