TheStrat: Timeframe Continuity Failed 2This indicator highlights TheStrat Failed 2 reversals only when the market is in Full Time Frame Continuity (FTFC) based on your chosen timeframes.
It is designed for high-probability directional trades with strong trend confirmation.
⸻
What It Detects
Failed 2 (Reversal Setup)
A Failed 2 occurs when price breaks one side of the previous candle, then fails and closes in the opposite direction:
• Failed 2D → Bullish reversal
• Failed 2U → Bearish reversal
This produces trapped breakout traders, often leading to explosive continuation.
FTFC measures whether price is above or below the opening price of higher timeframes.
If selected timeframes are all aligned, trend conviction is strong.
You can toggle ON/OFF each timeframe to define FTFC:
• 1H
• 1D
• 1W
• 1M
• 1Q
• 1Y
Only the timeframes you select must agree.
⸻
Modes for Different Styles
This indicator supports different trading horizons.
Swing Mode (Recommended for Options 1–5 Days Out)
Focus: Fast multi-day trend continuation
Ideal holding: 1–5 days
Best for: Weekly option expirations
Enable:
• 1H → Entry trigger timeframe
• 1D → Short-term direction
• 1W → Swing trend
• 1M → Macro push behind the move
• Q / Y not required
You end up catching the 1H reversal ignition, with Daily/Weekly/Monthly backing it.
Great for:
• Tuesday–Thursday continuation plays
• Multi-day directional runs
• “Ride the weekly magnitude”
Macro Mode (Long-Term Trend Filter)
Focus: Broad market bias
Ideal holding: weeks to months
Best for: Equity swing traders, leaps, ETF positioning
Enable:
• 1W
• 1M
• 1Q
• 1Y
• 1H / 1D not required
Used to ensure you’re riding institutional trend, not counter-trend noise.
Can be paired with a lower-TF entry tool like this indicator running in Swing Mode.
Label Up “F2D FTFC↑!” —— Bullish Failed-2 triggers FTFC → long setup
Label Down “F2U FTFC↓!” —— Bearish Failed-2 triggers FTFC → short setup
Small Circles —— Failed-2 continuation while FTFC remains intact
Optional Intrabar Alerts when price begins to form a Failed-2.
All plotted entries are close-confirmed unless you enable intrabar alerts.
Candlestick analysis
Every Hour 1st/Last FVG vTDL OVERVIEW - Shoutout to Micheal J. Huddleston aka ICT
This indicator identifies the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms within each trading hour, providing traders with potential entry zones, reversal points, and unmitigated gap targets. Based on the concept that the first presented FVG of each hour represents a significant price delivery array where institutional order flow occurred.
The indicator detects FVGs on a lower timeframe (1-minute default) and displays them as boxes on your chart, tracking which gaps get filled and which remain open as potential draw-on-liquidity targets.
WHAT IS A FAIR VALUE GAP
A Fair Value Gap is a 3-candle price pattern representing an imbalance between buyers and sellers:
Bullish FVG: Forms when candle 3's low is above candle 1's high, leaving a gap
Bearish FVG: Forms when candle 3's high is below candle 1's low, leaving a gap
These gaps often act as magnets for price, which tends to return and "fill" the imbalance before continuing. They function as dynamic support and resistance zones.
KEY FEATURES
Detection Types
FVG: Standard fair value gap detection with volume imbalance expansion
Suspension FVG Blocks: Requires outside prints on both sides for more refined signals
Hourly Display Modes
First Only: Shows whichever FVG appears first each hour (bullish or bearish)
Show Both: Shows first bullish AND first bearish FVG independently each hour
Last FVG Tracking
Optionally display the last FVG of each hour
Useful for comparing how the hour developed
Can extend into the next hour for continued tracking
Breakaway Gap Detection
Gaps not traded into during their formation hour extend forward
Extended gaps display labels showing formation time and date
These unmitigated gaps become price targets and reversal zones
Gap Fill Modes
Touch Box: Marks filled when price enters the gap
Touch Midpoint: Marks filled when price reaches the 50 percent level
Fill Completely: Marks filled when price fills the entire gap with visual progress
HOW TO USE
Entry Points
The first FVG of each hour provides potential entry zones based on price reaction:
When price returns to an FVG and shows rejection, enter in the direction of rejection
The gap zone represents where institutional orders likely reside
Use the boundaries of the gap for stop loss placement
A clean rejection of the zone confirms it as valid support or resistance
Reversal Points
Unmitigated gaps that extend beyond their formation hour are high-probability reaction zones:
Extended boxes with labels indicate unfilled gaps
When price finally reaches these zones, expect a reaction
The longer a gap remains unfilled, the stronger the expected response
These zones act as magnets drawing price back to them
Price Targets
Use unmitigated gaps as draw-on-liquidity targets:
Look for extended boxes above or below current price
Price tends to seek out and fill imbalances
The midpoint line often serves as a minimum target
Multiple unfilled gaps in one direction suggest strong momentum potential
FRAMING DIRECTIONAL BIAS
The first presented FVG of each hour acts as a support or resistance zone. The direction of the FVG itself does not determine bias - it is how price reacts to that FVG that reveals the true market intention.
Reading Price Reaction
Price respects a bullish FVG as support and bounces higher = bullish bias confirmed
Price respects a bearish FVG as resistance and rejects lower = bearish bias confirmed
Price fails to hold a bullish FVG and breaks through = potential inversion, look for shorts
Price fails to hold a bearish FVG and breaks through = potential inversion, look for longs
Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG)
When price trades through an FVG and closes beyond it, that gap can invert its role:
A bullish FVG that fails becomes resistance - use it as a short entry zone
A bearish FVG that fails becomes support - use it as a long entry zone
The inversion signals a shift in control from one side to the other
Watch for price to retest the inverted gap before continuing
Support and Resistance Framework
Think of each hourly first FVG as a key level:
Price above the FVG: the gap acts as potential support
Price below the FVG: the gap acts as potential resistance
Watch how price behaves when it returns to the gap zone
A clean rejection confirms the level; a break through signals inversion
SHORT-TERM SCALPING APPLICATION
These FVGs provide scalping opportunities each hour:
Identify the first FVG of the hour as your key level
Wait for price to trade away from it and return
Observe the reaction at the gap zone
Enter in the direction of the reaction with tight risk
Target the next FVG, midpoint, or nearby liquidity
Trade Management
Use the opposite side of the FVG box as your stop loss zone
The midpoint of the gap often provides first target or decision point
Scale out at nearby unmitigated gaps or key levels
If the gap inverts, flip your bias and look for entries in the new direction
MULTI-HOUR CONTEXT
If price consistently respects FVGs as support across hours = uptrend context
If price consistently respects FVGs as resistance across hours = downtrend context
If FVGs keep inverting = choppy or transitional market
Use higher timeframe direction to filter which reactions to trade
Compare first and last FVG of each hour to see how momentum developed
SESSION FILTERING
The indicator automatically excludes unreliable periods:
4 PM to 5 PM New York time (market close hours 16-17)
Weekend closed periods (Saturday and Sunday before 6 PM)
All timestamps use New York timezone for consistency with futures market hours.

PRACTICAL TIPS
The first FVG of each hour is a hidden PD array - treat it as a significant level
Not every gap produces a tradeable reaction - wait for confirmation
Gaps that remain unfilled for multiple hours carry more weight
Use the Show Both mode to see both bullish and bearish opportunities each hour
When multiple gaps cluster in one zone, that area becomes even more significant
Inversions are powerful signals - a failed level often leads to acceleration
NOTES
Works on any instrument and timeframe
Best used on intraday charts (1 minute to 15 minute) viewing 1 minute LTF gaps
Combine with higher timeframe analysis for confluence
These are probability zones, not guarantees - always use proper risk management
The indicator handles HTF to LTF data fetching automatically
Candlestick PatternsWhat It Does:
Automatically identifies and displays:
🟢 16+ Bullish patterns (Hammer, Engulfing ↑, Morning Star, etc.)
🔴 Bearish patterns (Shooting Star, Engulfing ↓, Evening Star, etc.)
🔵 Break & Retest signals (70-80% win rate setups)
⚪ Neutral patterns (Doji, Spinning Top - indecision)
🎯 Automatic alerts for all major patterns
Purpose: Shows you exactly when reversals are likely and identifies the highest-probability entry points (Break & Retest).Key Patterns:Bullish (Green labels above/below):
HAMMER - Long lower wick, small body (reversal from bottom)
ENGULF ↑ - Big green candle swallows previous red (strong reversal)
MORNING★ - Three candles: red, doji, green (major bottom)
3 BULLS - Three consecutive green candles (strong momentum)
PIERCE - Green closes above 50% of previous red
RETEST ↑ (BEST!) - Price broke resistance, pulled back, bounced (cyan circle)
Bearish (Red labels above/below):
SHOOT★ - Long upper wick, small body (reversal from top)
ENGULF ↓ - Big red candle swallows previous green (strong reversal)
EVENING★ - Three candles: green, doji, red (major top)
3 BEARS - Three consecutive red candles (strong momentum)
DARK☁ - Red closes below 50% of previous green
RETEST ↓ (BEST!) - Price broke support, bounced back, rejected (orange circle)
Neutral:
DOJI - Indecision, potential reversal coming
SPINNING TOP - Small body, long wicks (indecision)
Best Practices:✅ Wait for confirmation - Don't trade pattern alone, check context
✅ Combine patterns - Retest + Candlestick = 80%+ win rate
✅ Check trend - Bullish patterns in uptrend work best
✅ Volume matters - Larger patterns with volume = stronger
✅ Fresh retests - First retest after break = highest probability
✅ Use alerts - Set alerts for Engulfing, Retest, Morning/Evening Star
✅ Size matters - Bigger candles = stronger signals❌ Don't trade every pattern - Quality over quantity
❌ Don't ignore context - Hammer at resistance = weak signal
❌ Don't trade against trend - Bearish in strong uptrend = risky
❌ Don't skip stop loss - Always protect your trades
❌ Don't trade small patterns - Need clear, visible patterns
Kvng solzfx Gold StrategyThis indicator helps to find gold setups using kvng solz fx buy only strategy on gold
Classic Wave: The Easy WayClassic Wave is a simple strategy with few rules and no over-optimization. Despite its simplicity, it is backed by a nearly century-long historical track record, delivering excellent returns on the weekly chart of the SPX (TVC).
I also recommend observing its strong performance on the SPY (weekly), which is the perfect instrument for executing this strategy with futures in the future.
Strategy Rules and Parameters
When a bullish candle closes above the 20-period EMA, we place the stop-loss below the low of that candle and target a risk-reward ratio of 1:1.
A second, more profitable variant is to change the risk-reward ratio in the code to 2:1.
-Total capital: $10,000
-We use 10% of the total capital per trade.
-Commissions: 0.1% per trade.
The code construction is simple and very well detailed within the script itself.
Risk-Reward Ratio 2:1
Using a 2:1 risk-reward ratio reduces the win rate but significantly increases profitability.
Across the full historical data of the SPX index (weekly), the system would have generated 236 trades, with a win rate of 51.27% and a profit factor of 2.53.
From January 1, 2023, to November 28, 2025, the system would have generated 5 trades, with an 80% win rate and a profit factor of 9.244.
What makes this system so good?
-It takes advantage of the long-term bullish bias of U.S. stock indices and traditional markets.
-It filters out a lot of noise thanks to the weekly timeframe.
-It uses simple parameters with no over-optimization.
Final Notes:
This strategy has consistently outperformed the returns offered by most traditional funds over time, with fewer drawdowns and significantly less stress. I hope you like it.

Price Channel Strategy (Short Only)Please follow my x account to get more info:@CTF_bule_lotus
1. Core Logic: Price Channel Breakout (Downside)
The strategy uses one structural signal:
Lowest Low of the past 20 bars.
When the market breaks below this 20-bar low, a stop entry is triggered to open a short position.
Key design principles:
No prediction
No attempt to call tops
Pure reaction to market-confirmed downward momentum
This makes the strategy a clean representation of short-term downside inertia.
2. Directional Constraint: Short Only
This version trades only short positions, with no long exposure.
Rationale:
To isolate and study ETH’s microstructure during downside moves
To avoid noise from symmetric long/short signal conflicts
To treat this model as part of a controlled long–short comparative study
By eliminating long trades, the strategy provides clearer insight into bearish breakout behavior.
3. Risk Management: Fixed TP / SL
Immediately after entry, two fixed exit conditions are defined:
Take Profit: +10 price units
Stop Loss: –10 price units
Both values automatically convert into tick units using syminfo.mintick.
This reflects a classic scalping pattern:
Small but frequent profits
Fast stop-outs
High turnover
Sensitivity to short bursts of momentum
Such fixed exits are useful for analyzing whether short-lived selloffs contain exploitable structure.
4. Transaction Costs
For this specific analysis, transaction fees are intentionally excluded.
This allows:
A clearer view of the raw statistical edge
Isolation of pure signal behavior
Direct comparison with fee-inclusive results in prior tests
The fee-free backtest highlights the “theoretical edge” before real-market frictions are applied.
5. Data & Testing Window (2016–2025)
The model is tested on the complete ETH dataset from 2016 to 2025, without subjective filtering:
No removal of black swan events
No skipping flash crashes
No curve-fitting on sub-periods
This ensures the results reflect ETH’s full structural history, both stable and chaotic.
6. Interpretation & Research Value
This strategy is not presented as a predictive or production-ready trading system.
Its value lies in research utility:
Understanding ETH’s short-term downward momentum
Validating breakout-based scalping structures
Generating baseline data for more complex models
Supporting long-only vs. short-only comparative system design
Removing fees helps quantify the signal strength itself, while fee-inclusive tests can later show how much of that edge survives realistic trading conditions.

Morning ORB FVG Trigger✅ Overview
Morning ORB FVG Trigger is a complete intraday trading framework built around:
A Morning Opening Range Breakout (ORB)
The first Fair Value Gap (FVG) after that breakout
Strict risk management and position sizing
Optional HTF trend filter (Daily / Weekly / Monthly)
Optional Daily ATR filter to avoid extreme days
The script is designed for futures / indices / FX on intraday charts up to 15 minutes and for traders who want a clean, mechanical entry framework with clear risk.
🧠 Core idea
Define a morning opening range (e.g. 09:30–09:45).
Wait for a clean breakout above/below that range.
After the breakout, wait for the first FVG in breakout direction,
confirmed by the next candle (no immediate full reclaim).
Use a chosen stop logic + R:R factor to build risk/reward boxes.
Calculate position size based on your account risk.
(Optional) Only take trades:
In the direction of the HTF EMA trend (D/W/M).
On days where the morning range is within a band of the Daily ATR.
You can also disable all signals/boxes and use the script just as a visual ORB tool.
⏰ 1. ORB / Morning Range
Inputs (Main section)
Morning Range Session
Time window of the opening range in exchange time
Example: 09:30–09:45 for a 15-minute ORB.
You can type custom ranges (e.g. 09:30–09:35 for a 5-minute ORB).
Risk/Reward (TP factor)
Multiplier for the take-profit distance relative to the stop.
2.0 = TP is 2× the stop distance
1.5 = TP is 1.5× the stop distance
Show ORB range
If enabled, draws:
ORB high/low lines
ORB labels (e.g. 15min ORB high / low)
Optional midline
Extend ORB lines to the right (bars)
How many bars to extend the ORB high/low horizontally beyond the ORB itself.
Trade box width (bars)
Horizontal width (in bars) of:
Red risk box (entry–stop)
Green reward box (entry–TP)
Implementation details
The ORB is always calculated on 1-minute data internally, so it stays precise even on 5m/15m charts.
The script only works on intraday timeframes up to 15 minutes.
📦 2. FVG Block
Group: “FVG”
Threshold %
Minimum size of an FVG in % of price.
0 = every FVG
Higher values = only larger gaps
Auto threshold (from volatility)
If enabled, the minimum FVG size is derived from historical volatility
instead of a fixed percentage.
Allow breakout FVG partly inside ORB
Off (default): the FVG must lie fully outside the ORB.
On: the breakout FVG itself may still overlap the ORB a bit,
as long as it is the first one attached to the breakout move.
Enable FVG entry signals, boxes & alerts
On: full system – FVG detection, entry labels, risk/TP boxes, alerts.
Off: no entries, no risk/TP boxes, no alerts.
You only get the ORB and (optionally) the HTF dashboard, so you can trade your own setups.
Entry mode
Entry mode (Mid / Edge / NextOpen)
Mid – Entry at the midpoint of the FVG.
Edge – Long at the upper FVG edge, short at the lower FVG edge.
NextOpen – No limit order in the gap. Entry is placed at the next bar open after FVG confirmation.
Edge offset (ticks)
Additional offset for Edge entries:
Long:
+ticks = a bit above the FVG (more conservative)
-ticks = deeper into the FVG (more aggressive)
Short:
+ticks = a bit below the FVG
-ticks = deeper into the FVG
FVG detection logic
Uses a LuxAlgo-style 3-candle FVG pattern (gap between candle 1 and 3).
Only one FVG is taken: the first valid FVG after the ORB breakout in breakup direction.
The FVG candle is the middle bar; the script:
Detects the FVG on the previous bar.
Waits for the current bar to confirm it:
Bullish: current low must stay above the lower FVG boundary
Bearish: current high must stay below the upper FVG boundary
Only then an entry signal is generated.
🛑 3. Stop Logic
Group: “Stop Logic”
Stop mode (PrevBar / Pivot / FVG Candle)
PrevBar – Stop at the low/high of the candle before the FVG
(tight/aggressive).
FVG Candle – Stop at the low/high of the FVG candle itself
(medium).
Pivot – Stop at the most recent swing high/low
using pivotLeft / pivotRight pivots (more conservative).
Ticks (stop buffer)
Offset (in ticks) from the selected stop level.
> 0 = further away (more room, more risk)
< 0 = closer (tighter stop)
Pivot left / Pivot right
Number of candles left/right to define a swing high/low
when using Pivot stop mode.
Typical intraday values: 2–3.
The script also sanity-checks the stop:
if the calculated stop would be invalid (e.g. above entry in a long), it moves it by a minimal distance (2 ticks) to keep a valid risk.
📈 4. HTF Trend Filter (Daily / Weekly / Monthly)
Group: “HTF Trend Filter”
Enable HTF trend filter
If enabled, trades are only allowed:
Long when at least 2 of D/W/M closes are above their EMA
Short when at least 2 of D/W/M closes are below their EMA
EMA length (D/W/M)
EMA length for all three higher timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
This helps focus entries in the direction of the dominant higher-timeframe trend.
📊 5. ATR Filter (Daily)
Group: “ATR Filter (Daily)”
Use daily ATR filter
If enabled, the height of the ORB (ORB high – ORB low) must be within
a band of the Daily ATR to allow any signals.
Daily ATR length
ATR period on the Daily timeframe.
Min ORB size vs ATR
Lower bound:
Example: 0.3 → ORB must be at least 0.3 × Daily ATR
0.0 = no minimum.
Max ORB size vs ATR
Upper bound:
Example: 1.5 → ORB must be ≤ 1.5 × Daily ATR
0.0 = no maximum.
If the ORB is too small (choppy) or too large (exhausted move), no breakout or FVG signal will be generated on that day.
🧭 6. HTF Dashboard & Signal Labels
Group: “HTF Trend Dashboard”
Show HTF dashboard
Draws a small label at the top of the chart showing:
HTF Trend (EMA X)
D: UP/FLAT/DOWN
W: UP/FLAT/DOWN
M: UP/FLAT/DOWN
Dashboard position
Top Right, Top Center, Top Left – places the dashboard at the top.
Over Risk Info – no top dashboard; instead, the HTF trend info is shown as a label near the risk box when a new signal appears.
Lookback (bars) for top anchor
How many bars to use to determine the top price level for dashboard placement.
Show HTF trend above risk box on signal
Only relevant if Dashboard position = Over Risk Info.
When enabled, a small HTF label appears near the risk box for each new trade.
Signal label vertical offset (ticks)
Vertical spacing between risk info label and HTF label.
Minimum spacing HTF/Risk (ticks)
Ensures a minimum vertical distance so the two labels don’t overlap.
HTF signal label X offset (bars)
Horizontal offset (left/right) relative to the risk info label.
⏳ 7. ORB–FVG Filters (Session & Time Window)
Group: “ORB FVG Filter”
Only same session day
If enabled, FVG entries are only allowed on the same calendar day
as the ORB. When the date changes, all state & drawings are reset.
Limit hours after ORB
Enables a time window after the ORB end.
Trading window after ORB (hours)
Length of that window in hours.
Example: 2.0 → FVG signals only in the first 2 hours after ORB end.
💰 8. Risk Management & Position Sizing
Group: “Risk Management”
Calculate position size
If enabled, the script computes suggested mini and micro contract size for you.
Account size
Your trading account size (in account currency).
Risk mode
Percent – risk is a % of account size (Account risk %).
Fixed amount – risk is a fixed dollar amount (Fixed risk ($)).
Account risk %
Risk per trade as a percentage of account size (e.g. 1.0 for 1%).
Fixed risk ($)
Fixed risk per trade in dollars when using Fixed amount mode.
Micro factor (vs mini)
How much a micro contract is worth relative to a mini.
Example:
0.1 → one micro moves 1/10 of one mini.
Risk Info label
For each new trade, a label is shown above the boxes with:
Stop distance in price and $ risk per mini
Max risk allowed for the trade
Suggested mini and micro size
Text like:
Suggested: 2 mini
Suggested: 5 micro
or Suggested: no trade
This makes the script especially useful for prop-firm rules or strict risk discipline.

The script defines three alert conditions:
Long entry FVG breakout
Triggered when a new long signal appears.
Short entry FVG breakout
Triggered when a new short signal appears.
FVG entry (long/short)
Generic alert for any new signal (long or short).
To use them:
Add the indicator to the chart.
Open the Alerts dialog → “Condition”.
Select this script and one of the alert conditions.
Set your preferred expiration and notification settings.
Alerts only fire when Enable FVG entry signals, boxes & alerts is on.
🧩 11. How the trading logic flows (summary)
Build ORB on 1-minute data during the selected session.
Optionally reject the day if ORB is outside the ATR bounds.
Wait for a breakout (close above high or below low), respecting HTF trend filter.
After breakout, look for the first valid FVG in that direction:
Outside the ORB (unless breakout FVG allowed inside)
Confirmed by the next candle (no full reclaim)
Once confirmed:
Compute entry, stop, target.
Draw risk/reward boxes and all labels.
Optionally show HTF signal label over the risk info.
Trigger alerts if enabled.
If you disable FVG signals, only steps 1–3 (plus dashboard) are effectively active.
⚠️ 12. Notes & Disclaimer
Script is intended for intraday trading up to 15-minute timeframes.
All signals are mechanical and do not guarantee profitability.
Always backtest and forward-test on your own data before risking real money.
This script is for educational purposes only and is not financial advice.
🚀 Quick-start guide
Add the script to your chart
Use an intraday timeframe ≤ 15 minutes (1m, 3m, 5m, 15m).
Works best on liquid indices, futures, FX and large-cap stocks.
Set the Morning Range
In “Morning Range Session” choose the exchange’s opening window.
Examples
US index futures (CME): 08:30–08:45 or 08:30–08:35
US stocks (NYSE/Nasdaq): 09:30–09:45 or 09:30–09:35
The ORB is always calculated on 1-minute data internally, so the range stays accurate on higher intraday charts.
Keep the default filters at first
HTF Trend Filter: ON
EMA length = 20
This will only allow trades in the direction of the dominant D/W/M trend.
ATR Filter: OFF (optional; you can enable later once you’re comfortable).
Use the full trade system
In the FVG group leave
“Enable FVG entry signals, boxes & alerts” = ON
Entry mode: Mid
Stop mode: FVG Candle or PrevBar
Risk/Reward: 2.0 as a starting point.
Set your risk
Turn on “Calculate position size”.
Enter your Account size and choose either:
Risk mode = Percent (e.g. 1.0 = 1% per trade), or
Risk mode = Fixed amount (e.g. $250 per trade).
The risk info label will show:
Stop distance in price and $/contract
Max allowed risk
Suggested mini and micro contract size.
Enable alerts (optional)
Open the Alerts dialog → Condition: this script.
Choose one of:
Long entry FVG breakout
Short entry FVG breakout
FVG entry (long/short)
Choose “Once per bar” or “Once per bar close”, and your preferred notification type.
Replay & journal
Use the TradingView bar replay tool to step through past days.
Focus on:
How the ORB defines the structure.
How the first confirmed FVG outside the ORB behaves.
Whether the risk/TP levels fit your own style and product.
🎛 Recommended settings & profiles
These are starting points, not rules. Always adapt to the instrument and your own risk tolerance.
1. Conservative / Trend-following
Timeframe: 5m or 15m
Morning Range Session: 15-minute ORB around the cash or futures open
FVG
Threshold %: 0.05–0.1 (filter out very small gaps)
Auto threshold: OFF (keep it simple)
Allow breakout FVG partly inside ORB: OFF
Enable FVG entry signals/boxes/alerts: ON
Entry mode: Mid
Stop Logic
Stop mode: Pivot
Pivot left/right: 2–3
Stop buffer: +1–2 ticks
HTF Trend Filter
Enabled: ON
EMA length: 20
ATR Filter
Enabled: ON
Daily ATR length: 14
Min ORB vs ATR: 0.3–0.4
Max ORB vs ATR: 1.2–1.5
Risk Management
Risk mode: Percent
Account risk: 0.5–1.0%
Idea: Only trade when the higher-timeframe trend supports the move and the opening range is of a “normal” size for the current volatility.
2. Balanced / Intraday directional
Timeframe: 3m or 5m
FVG
Threshold %: 0.02–0.05
Auto threshold: ON (lets the script adapt to volatility)
Allow breakout FVG partly inside ORB: ON
(first breakout FVG may partly sit inside the ORB)
Entry mode: Edge
Edge offset (ticks): 0 or +1
Stop Logic
Stop mode: FVG Candle
Stop buffer: 0–1 ticks
HTF Trend Filter
Enabled: ON
ATR Filter
Enabled: OFF (optional)
Risk Management
Risk mode: Percent
Account risk: 1.0–1.5% (if this fits your plan)
Idea: Slightly more aggressive entries at the gap edge, still aligned with HTF trend, but with more flexibility on ATR.
3. Aggressive / Scalping around the ORB
Timeframe: 1m or 3m
FVG
Threshold %: 0.0–0.02
Auto threshold: ON
Allow breakout FVG partly inside ORB: ON
Entry mode: NextOpen or Edge with a negative offset (deeper into the gap)
Stop Logic
Stop mode: PrevBar
Stop buffer: 0 or -1 tick
HTF Trend Filter
Enabled: OFF (or ON but treat as soft guidance)
ATR Filter
Enabled: OFF
Risk Management
Risk mode: Percent
Account risk: lower, e.g. 0.25–0.5% per trade
Idea: More trades and tighter stops. Best for experienced traders who understand the limitations of scalping and whipsaw risk.
Final reminder
All of these are templates, not guarantees:
Always check how the system behaves on your market and session.
Start on replay and demo before trading real money.
Adjust filters (HTF, ATR, thresholds) until the signals fit your personal approach.

First Fvg Strategy with CHoCH Exits, Adaptive TP & Entry TimerA strategy that is purely based off of prices reaction to the first presented fair value gap at 9:30 market open. Works best on NASDAQ one minute timeframe. Experimental indicator for me to back test first presented fair value gap.
