✅ SETUP CHECKLIST
Main trend-change setup:
Wait for the signal candle to close, then check agreement across 5m, 15m, 1H, and 4H.
Pullback setup:
Wait for the arrow candle to close, then check agreement across 15m, 1H, and 4H. The 5m reading is not required.
The daily reading is not required for either setup. Higher-timeframe readings can change while their candles are still forming.
The examples use a 1:1.5 risk-to-reward target. These confirmation rules are the approach demonstrated in this video, not a guarantee that a signal will succeed. Fewer signals do not automatically mean higher accuracy, and the chart comparison is not a comprehensive performance backtest.
