Ride the dominant trend by entering on healthy pullbacks to the 20 / 50 EMA. Bias comes from the higher timeframe; entries come from the lower.
Setup checklist
H4 trend clearly aligned (higher highs & higher lows, or the mirror)
Price retraces to 20 or 50 EMA on H1
Reversal candle (engulfing / pin) with volume confirmation
Stop below the swing low; TP at prior structure or 2×R

Bearish / bullish market structure shift on the lower timeframe

Market is ranging on H4 (no HH/HL structure)
RSI(14) reaches 70+ or 30- at a horizontal level
Rejection candle prints inside the zone

Precision upgrade of the M1 stack. Bias is locked on the M5 (VWAP + EMA21 slope + ADX ≥ 18). On the M1 we no longer enter on the signal candle close — we place a limit at the 50% retrace of the trigger candle body, which cuts average adverse excursion roughly in half and tightens the stop. Four triggers stay valid, each now with an exact confirmation rule and an explicit reversal-exit rule so a losing trade is cut before it reaches the hard stop.
Session filter: London 07:00–11:00 or NY 13:30–16:30 UTC only — skip the lunch chop
Trigger A — VWAP reject: M1 wick pierces VWAP, close back above with body ≥ 60% of range AND volume ≥ 1.3× the 20-bar average
Trigger B — EMA9 reclaim: two consecutive M1 closes on the trend side of EMA9, second close above the first's high
Trigger C — Micro BOS: M1 breaks the last 5-candle swing with a full-body close, no upper/lower wick > 35%
Trigger D — Sweep + reclaim: liquidity grab of the prior M1 high/low, reversal candle within 2 bars closing back inside
ENTRY (precision): limit at the 50% retrace of the trigger candle body — cancel if unfilled within 2 candles
STOP: 0.8× ATR(14 M1) beyond the trigger wick (typically 3–6 pips FX, $1.2–2.4 gold) — tighter than the old 1× because of the retrace entry
REVERSAL EXIT: exit immediately on a full-body M1 close back through the trigger level, on a bearish/bullish engulf larger than 1.5× ATR against you, or on VWAP being lost on the M5 — do not wait for the hard stop
TP1 = 1R — close 50% and move the stop to break-even +1 tick (alert fires the moment TP1 prints)
TP2 = 1.8× the TP1 distance — close another 30%, trail the rest with EMA9
TP3 = 2.8× the TP1 distance — final 20% out, or exit earlier on the first M1 close through EMA9
Re-entry: one re-entry allowed per level if the original trigger reprints with higher volume
Skip filters: spread > 20% of stop, red-folder news in < 3 min, M5 ADX < 18, or price inside the first 2 minutes of a session open
Max 3 losses in a row → stop 15 min and re-check the M5 bias before trading again
Best market fit: Gold, Crypto majors, Indices, FX majors

Pure price action, scored. Each confirmed candle earns points: engulfing 2, structure break 2, pin bar 1, strong body 1, EMA trend 1. A trade only fires at 2 points or more and only in the direction of the EMA9/21 trend. Risk is a fixed 1.2× ATR(14) from the close, and every target is a multiple of that risk, so the reward is identical on every instrument.
Setup checklist
Trend filter: EMA9 above EMA21 and close above EMA9 for buys (mirror for sells)
Engulfing candle fully covering the previous body (+2)
Close beyond the highest high / lowest low of the last 10 candles (+2)
Pin bar with wick at least 2× the body on the trend side (+1)
Candle body at least 60% of the total range (+1)
Signal only on a confirmed candle close with a total score ≥ 2
ENTRY: the confirmed candle close
STOP: 1.2× ATR(14) beyond entry
TP1 = 1R, TP2 = 1.5R, TP3 = 2R, TP4 = 3R
Break even: move the stop to entry once price reaches 1R
No duplicate signals — one trade per direction until the opposite side triggers
Best market fit: Gold, FX majors, Indices, Crypto majors

Best for
Indices
Mark the first 15 minutes of the session (3 M5 candles) as the opening range. Trade the first clean break with a retest that holds above/below EMA20. Target the range height projected from the breakout.
Setup checklist
Mark high/low of first 3 M5 candles after session open
Wait for a full-body M5 close outside the range with volume expansion
Retest holds — wick into the level, close back with EMA20 as support/resistance
Entry on retest confirmation; stop 2–3 pips beyond opposite side of range
TP1 = 1× range height (close 50%, stop to break-even), TP2 = 1.8× (close 30%), TP3 = 2.8× (final 20%, trailed with EMA20)
Invalidate if price closes back inside range within 2 candles
Best market fit: Indices, Forex majors, Gold
