Where price is allowed in a good setup location, not where it can.
The Hunting Zone is a dynamic execution window that only activates when higher-timeframe structure, regime, and liquidity conditions align.

If price is outside the Hunting Zone, the rules can be setup to prevent a trade — even if a lower-timeframe pattern appears.

It is Smart Money Indicator's way of saying:
“This is the only part of the market where institutional intent is statistically present.”

What the Hunting Zone Represents
The Hunting Zone is not a fixed box or indicator band.

It is a structural permission layer built from:

HTF premium / discount logic

Structural bias (trend / regime)

Breaker block location

Liquidity sweep proximity

Invalidation distance

Risk-to-reward feasibility

Only when all of these align does the Hunting Zone appear.
