Risk
Low
SCENARIO 04
Sell Continuation — Strong Trend
1H BiasBearish Fresh or Developing
4H BiasBearish Age ≤ 3 bars — young, strong
PullbackPrice bounced to structural midpoint (30–55% of range)
FVGFair value gap present or bearish close from midpoint

Risk
Low
SCENARIO 05
Buy Pullback — 4H Neutral or Opposing
1H BiasBullish Fresh or Developing
4H BiasNeutral / Ranging or mildly opposing
PullbackPrice touched structural midpoint and closed back above
DisplaceBullish displacement or BOS present
ContextMixed HTF — 1H says buy, 4H unclear
5m EntryTriggered inside zone
TargetL1 only — do not extend to L2
Action Plan
Reduced size (50–60% of normal). Buy only with 5m confirmation. Take full profit at L1. Do not hold for extension — the 4H is not with you. Tight stop, quick exit mentality.
Risk

SCENARIO 06
Sell Pullback — 4H Neutral or Opposing
1H BiasBearish Fresh or Developing
4H BiasNeutral / Ranging or mildly opposing
PullbackPrice bounced to structural midpoint and closed back below
DisplaceBearish displacement or BOS present
ContextMixed HTF — 1H says sell, 4H unclear
5m EntryTriggered inside zone
TargetL1 only — do not extend to L2
Action Plan
Reduced size. Sell only with 5m confirmation. Close at L1 fully. The 4H context can flip against you fast on Gold. One target, one shot.
Risk
Med
SCENARIO 07
Buy Reversal — Grade B, Developing Bias
1H BiasBullish Developing (4–8 bars old)
4H BiasBullish but older (age > 3)
SweepSSL swept with rejection candle
DisplaceBullish displacement + BOS confirmed
SessionKill zone active
RiskNo Reversal Risk label showing
5m EntryWait for Triggered — don't jump early
Action Plan
Valid trade but bias is ageing. Enter on 5m confirmation only. Take L1 profit without hesitation. Be prepared to exit if momentum stalls — developing bias can break down faster.
Risk
Med
SCENARIO 08
Range Expansion — Bullish Breakout
1H BiasBullish any age
CompressionPrior 7 bars compressed ≤ 1.3× ATR range
SessionKill zone REQUIRED — London or NY open
BreakoutBullish displacement closes above compression high
4H BiasIdeally Bullish — if neutral still valid
5m EntryWait for pullback into expansion zone or 5m confirm
TargetMeasured move from range = first target minimum
Action Plan
London/NY compression breakout. Don't chase the initial spike — wait for the first retrace into the zone. Stop below the compression range low. Gold breakouts after tight ranges can extend significantly.
Risk
Low
SCENARIO 09
Range Expansion — Bearish Breakout
1H BiasBearish any age
CompressionPrior 7 bars compressed ≤ 1.3× ATR range
SessionKill zone REQUIRED — London or NY open
BreakoutBearish displacement closes below compression low
4H BiasIdeally Bearish — if neutral still valid
5m EntryWait for retrace into zone or 5m confirm
TargetL1 PDL / Recent Low / EQL
Action Plan
NY or London bearish breakout from compression. Wait for a minor bounce back into the zone before entering. Stop above compression high. Gold drops fast once compression breaks — don't be late.
Risk
Low
SCENARIO 10
Buy Transition — 4H Turning
1H BiasBullish — confirmed break
4H BiasBearish but ageing (age > 3) — starting to weaken
SignalReversal risk OR old 4H detected — handoff zone
Structure1H breaking higher highs, 4H still making lower lows
ContextTransition — market changing character
5m EntryMandatory — do not enter without 5m BOS hold
TargetL1 only — the 4H may reassert at any time
Action Plan
You're buying into a market that is changing regime. Smaller size (40–50%). L1 target only. Watch for [ Rev Risk ] label — if it appears, exit immediately. This is an early trend trade, not a continuation.
Risk
High
SCENARIO 11
Sell Transition — 4H Turning
1H BiasBearish — confirmed break
4H BiasBullish but ageing — losing momentum
SignalReversal risk OR old 4H — distribution possible
Structure1H breaking lower lows, 4H still showing higher highs
ContextTransition — regime change underway
5m EntryMandatory — 5m BOS hold required
TargetL1 only — protect capital
Action Plan
Early short into a topping market. Smaller size. Take L1 in full — do not trail. If [ Rev Risk ] label was already showing before this signal, it confirms the thesis but be quicker to exit.
Risk
High
SCENARIO 12
Countertrend Buy — 1H Bearish
1H BiasBearish — against the buy direction
4H BiasAny — but bearish 4H makes this very risky
SweepMajor SSL swept hard — liquidity taken aggressively
DisplaceStrong bullish displacement from sweep low
ContextCountertrend — fighting the HTF
5m EntryMandatory and must hold cleanly
TargetL1 only — scalp only, no trailing
Action Plan
This is a liquidity grab bounce trade against the trend. Micro size only (25–30%). Hard exit at L1 — no exceptions. The 1H bias will reassert. If [ Rev Risk ] shows on 1H, the bounce may be larger but still cap at L1.
Risk
High
SCENARIO 13
Countertrend Sell — 1H Bullish
1H BiasBullish — against the sell direction
4H BiasAny — bullish 4H makes this very risky
SweepMajor BSL swept aggressively — equal highs / PDH taken
DisplaceStrong bearish rejection candle from swept high
ContextCountertrend — fighting HTF bull bias
5m EntryMandatory — must hold BOS cleanly
TargetL1 only — hard exit, no greed
Action Plan
Short into a bull trend off a liquidity sweep. Very small size. L1 and done. The bullish 1H bias means buyers will re-enter quickly. If you're not in profit within 3–4 bars, exit flat.
Risk
High
SCENARIO 14
Old Bias — Take Partial / Manage
1H AgeBias age > Fresh max (beyond 3 bars)
Near L1Price within 0.35× ATR of L1 target
CandleWeak body (< 0.45 ATR) + opposing wick pressure
MomentumThrust slowing — candles getting smaller
DashboardExit Status = Manage
Action Plan
Close 50% of position at current price. Move stop to breakeven on remainder. Do not open new positions until bias refreshes. The move is thinning — protect what you have.
Risk
Med
SCENARIO 15
Exit Watch — Old Bias Near L2/L3
1H AgeBias old — beyond Developing max (8 bars)
Near L2/L3Price within ATR of L2 or L3 — major liquidity ahead
CandleWeak body + opposing wick — distribution or absorption
DashboardExit Status = Exit Watch
ContextOld trend hitting major resistance or support
Action Plan
Close the full position. Do not wait for L2 to be hit exactly — the wick pressure and old bias mean the reversal is likely already starting. Lock profit, step aside, reassess for a fresh setup.
Risk
High
SCENARIO 16
Reversal Risk — Distribution Warning
1H Age≥ riskAgeMin (default 6 bars) — old bias
CandleBody < 0.55 ATR + opposing wick > 40% of range
Near LiqPrice near L1 or L2 — institutions may be distributing
DashboardRisk = Reversal Risk
No ExitExit Watch not yet active — this is the early warning
Action Plan
Do not open new trades in the current direction. If in a trade, tighten stop to just below/above last significant structure. This label appears before Exit Watch — treat it as the yellow light before the red.
Risk
High
SCENARIO 17
Asia Session — No Kill Zone
SessionAsia or Off Session — no kill zone
SignalAny grade — signal fires but kill zone weight is zero
VolumeLow institutional participation — traps frequent
SpreadGold spreads widen in Asia — cost eats into RR
ScoreMissing session weight — score artificially lower
Action Plan
Skip or watch only. Mark the sweep or structure level for London open. If the same setup re-qualifies at London open with a fresh kill zone weight, that is the trade to take — not this one.
Risk
High
SCENARIO 18
Setup Forming — Wait for Confirm
15m StateForming — conditions building but not confirmed
SweepMay have occurred but displacement not yet confirmed
BOSNot yet printed on 15m
5m EntryWaiting — zone exists but 5m not triggered
ActionWatch, set alert, don't pre-enter
Action Plan
Do not enter. The zone is drawing on the chart — watch for 5m displacement and BOS inside it. Pre-entering a forming setup is the #1 cause of stop-outs on Gold. Let the 5m diamond appear first.
Risk
High
SCENARIO 19
Continuation — Exhausted Strength
SignalContinuation setup fires — but strength is low
StrengthCONT 0–2/10 Exhausted on dashboard
4H AgeOld — trend has been running too long
BodyCandle bodies small — institutional buying/selling fading
TargetTarget close to entry — low RR available
Action Plan
Skip this setup. An exhausted continuation means the trend fuel is gone. Entering here risks being the last buyer/seller before the reversal. Wait for a fresh sweep and new bias confirmation before re-engaging.
Risk
High
SCENARIO 20
Perfect 5m Early Entry Inside Zone
15m ZoneEntry box drawn, price pulled back inside it
5m Disp5m displacement candle body > 0.55× ATR, closes beyond prev high/low
5m BOS5m closes above/below micro structure level
BOS HoldPrice holds above/below BOS level next bar — no spike and fade
In Zone5m candle overlaps the 15m entry box
Dashboard5m Entry = Triggered, Quick Panel = BUY/SELL NOW
Action Plan
This is the best entry signal in the system. The 15m setup is confirmed, the 5m structure has shifted with held confirmation, and you're inside the zone. Enter at market on the next 5m candle open. Stop at the 15m calculated stop. Target per 15m dashboard.
