Next, we will examine each entry model in detail.
đźź ENTRY MODEL 1
The first model is the core one we’ll work with; all other models rely on its structure and construction. In the screenshot below, I’ll schematically show the complete model.
As shown in the screenshot above, we display higher-timeframe candles on the current chart to better visualize the entry model and keep the trader informed of what’s happening on the larger timeframe. The screenshot also highlights both the Long and Short models, as well as the Entry Area, which I will explain in more detail below.
The schematic model on the lower timeframe is shown in the screenshot above. It illustrates that after the Entry Model forms, we draw the Entry Area on the next candle and wait for a price pullback into this zone for the optimal trade entry. Statistically, before moving higher, the price typically revisits the Entry Area, covering the imbalances created by MSS; thus, the Entry Area represents the ideal entry point.
Entry Area
Once the Entry Model has formed, we focus on identifying the optimal pullback zone for taking a position. To determine which retracement area performs best, we conducted extensive historical backtesting on potential zones and selected those that consistently delivered the strongest results. This process yields Entry Areas with the highest probability of a successful reversal.
On the screenshot above, you can see an example of the Entry Area and which zones carry a higher versus lower probability of reversal. Zones rendered with greater transparency have historically delivered weaker results than the more opaque zones. The deeper-colored areas represent the optimal entry zones and can improve your risk-reward ratio by allowing you to enter at more favorable prices.
It’s important to remember that the entire Entry Area functions as a potential zone for scaling into a position. However, if your risk-to-reward ratio isn’t favorable, you can wait for the price to retrace to lower levels within the Entry Area and enter with a more attractive risk-to-reward.
🟢 Pattern Rating
Each entry model receives a rating in the form of green circles next to its name 🟢. The rating ranges from one to four circles, based on the historical performance of similar patterns. To calculate this rating, we backtest past data by analyzing candle behavior during the model’s formation and assign circles according to how similar patterns performed historically.
Example Ratings:
🟢 – One circle
🟢🟢 – Two circles
🟢🟢🟢 – Three circles
🟢🟢🟢🟢 – Four circles
The more green circles a model has, the more reliable it is—but it’s crucial to rely on your own analysis when identifying strong reversal points on the chart. This rating reflects the model’s historical performance and does not guarantee future results, so keep that in mind!
Below is a screenshot showing four model variations with different ratings on the chart.
⚠️ Unconfirmed Pattern
Entry Model 1 is designed so that, until the higher-timeframe candle closes, the pattern remains unconfirmed and is hidden on the chart. For traders who prefer to see setups as they form, there’s a dedicated feature that displays the unconfirmed pattern at the moment of its appearance - triggered by the Market Structure Shift - before the HTF candle closes. The screenshot below shows what the pattern looks like prior to confirmation.
‼️IMPORTANT: Until the pattern is confirmed and the higher-timeframe candle has closed, the model may disappear from the chart if price reverses and the HTF candle closes below the previous bar. Therefore, this mode is suitable only for experienced traders who want to see market moves in advance. Remember that the pattern can be removed from the chart, so we recommend waiting for the HTF candle to close before deciding to enter a trade.‼️
✂️ Filters
For the primary model, there are four filters designed to enhance entry points or exclude less-confirmed patterns. The filters available in the indicator are:
- Bounce Filter
- Market Shift Mode
- Same Wave Filter
- Only with Divergence
I will explain how each of these filters works below.
- Bounce Filter
The Bounce Filter identifies significant deviations of price from its mean and only displays the Entry Model once the asset’s price moves beyond the average level. The screenshot below illustrates how this appears on the chart.
The actual average-price calculation is more sophisticated than what’s shown in the screenshot, that image is just an illustrative example. When the price deviates significantly from the N-bar average, we start looking for the Entry Model. This approach works particularly well in range-bound markets without a clear trend, as it lets you trade strong deviations from the mean.
- Market Shift Mode
This filter works by detecting the initial impulse that triggered the liquidity sweep on the previous higher-timeframe candle, and then holding the Market Structure Shift level at that point after the sweep. If the filter is turned off, price may move higher following the liquidity removal, creating a new MSS level and potentially producing a false structure shift and entry signal on the formed model.
This filter helps you more accurately identify genuine shifts - but keep in mind that the model can still perform well without it, so choose the setting that best suits your trading style.
- Same Wave Filter
The Same Wave Filter removes entry models that form without a clear lower-timeframe structure when liquidity is swept from the previous higher-timeframe candle. In other words, if the prior HTF candle and the current one belong to the same impulse wave - without any retracements on the LTF - the model is filtered out.
Keep in mind that this filter may also exclude patterns that could have produced positive results, so whether to enable it depends on your trading system.
- Only with Divergence
The Only with Divergence filter detects divergence between the lows of successive candles and indicators like RSI. When the low that swept liquidity diverges from the previous candle’s low, the indicator displays a “DIV” label. Although RSI is cited as an example, our divergence calculation is more advanced. This filter highlights patterns where low divergence signals genuine liquidity manipulation and a likely aggressive price reversal.
🌀 Model Settings
- Trade Direction: Choose whether to display models for Long or Short trades.
- Fractal: Select between automatic fractal detection—which adapts the lower-timeframe (LTF) and higher-timeframe (HTF) candles—or Custom.
- Custom Fractal: When Custom is selected, manually specify the LTF and HTF timeframes used to detect the patterns.
- History Pattern Limit: Set the maximum number of patterns to display on the chart to keep it clean and uncluttered.
🎨 Model Style
You can flexibly customize the model’s appearance by choosing your preferred line thickness, color, and the other settings we discussed above.
🔵 ENTRY MODEL 2
This model appears under specific conditions when Model 1 cannot form. It’s a price-reversal model constructed according to different rules than the first model. The screenshot below shows how it looks on the chart.
This model forms less frequently than Model 1 but delivers equally strong performance and is displayed as a position-entry zone.
Like the Entry Area in Entry Model 1, this zone is calculated automatically and highlights the best entry levels: areas that showed the strongest historical results are rendered in a brighter shade.
🎨 Model Style
You can flexibly customize the style of Entry Model 2 - its color, opacity, visibility, and the average price of the previous candle.
🟢 ENTRY MODEL 3
Entry Model 3 is a continuation pattern that only forms after Entry Model 1 has completed and delivered the necessary price move to trigger Model 3.
Below is a schematic illustration of how Model 3 is intended to work.
🎨 Model Style
As with the previous models, you can flexibly customize the style of this zone.
⬆️ HTF CANDLES
One of the standout features of this indicator is the ability to plot higher-timeframe (HTF) candles directly on your lower-timeframe (LTF) chart, giving you clear visualization of the entry models and insight into what’s unfolding on the larger timeframe.
You can fully customize the HTF candles - select their style, the number of bars displayed, and tweak various settings to match your personal trading style.
HTF FVG
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) can also be drawn on the HTF candles themselves, enabling you to spot key liquidity or interest zones at a glance, without switching between timeframes.
Additionally, you can view all significant historical HTF highs and lows, with demarcation lines showing where each HTF candle begins and ends.
All these options let you tailor the HTF candle display on your chart and monitor multiple timeframes’ trends in a single view.
đź“¶ INFO PANEL
- Instrument: the market symbol on which the model is detected
- Fractal Timeframes: the LTF and HTF fractal periods used to locate the pattern
- HTF Candle Countdown: the time remaining until the higher-timeframe candle closes
- Trade Direction: the direction (Long or Short) in which the model is searched for entry
