What we actually tested

  • · 5M candles inside 08:30–11:00 New York time
  • · The 20-candle low is swept and the candle closes back above it
  • · A later candle closes above the highest high of the last 10 candles (structure shift)
  • · A later candle completes a bullish fair value gap; limit entry at its 50% level, valid until the window closes
  • · Stop at the sweep candle's low; target 2R

Each candle is one 5M bar: the thin line is the high-low range, the thick body is open-to-close. Vertical marks show when the trade opened and closed. One real trade, picked by recency — an illustration of the executed rules, not proof they will work again.

How $10,000 would have changed

The account balance after each closed trade, starting from the stated budget.

Account value after every trade closed, in dollars

  • Account value

Left axis is dollars, bottom axis is time. The line only moves when a trade closes, so flat stretches are periods the rules stayed out of the market.
