MNQ Reversal Signals (HP/MP) + Traffic Light Regime Filter

9 ore fa

What we’re building

A 1-minute MNQ overlay indicator that does two things:

Generates trade signals (Long/Short) using a structured “reversal + confirmation” logic, plus optional filters.

Decides if we’re allowed to trade at all using a simple Traffic Light regime gate (GREEN / ORANGE / RED).

The goal is to only participate when conditions are favorable, avoid forcing trades, and keep decision-making consistent.

What we want to achieve

A rules-based system that:

Waits for high-quality setups (reversal-style signals, not random chop).

Uses a market regime filter to avoid trading during impulse / chaos.

Produces clear, repeatable entries: HP / MP Long or Short.

Enforces strict discipline: no “coerced” trades, no “I think it’ll work” entries.

Signal logic (V36-style structure)
1) Standard trend signal (EMA crossover)

Fast EMA (9) vs Slow EMA (21):

Long signal = fast crosses above slow

Short signal = fast crosses below slow

Optional RSI filter:

Longs require RSI above threshold

Shorts require RSI below threshold

2) Reversal signals (the ones we actually care about)

These are pattern + location + confirmation signals:

Mid-Probability (MP) Reversal

Long MP: deep pullback below slow EMA + hammer-type candle + EMAs bearish (fast < slow)

Short MP: deep extension above slow EMA + shooting-star-type candle + EMAs bullish (fast > slow)

High-Probability (HP) Reversal

HP is MP plus confirmation:

Long HP: after an MP long, the next 3 candles hold the low

Short HP: after an MP short, the next 3 candles hold the high

So HP = “reversal happened” + “market proved it didn’t immediately fail.”

Traffic Light gate (the trade permission system)

This block measures volatility regime + impulse behavior using:

ATR vs ATR baseline (volatility regime)

True Range vs TR baseline (impulse / expansion)

Count of recent TR expansion events over a rolling window (default 50 bars)

Colors mean:

GREEN (LFG): conditions stable enough to trade

ORANGE (OKISH): tradeable, but not perfect

RED (BAD): impulse / unstable → we do nothing

Our trading rule with the traffic light:

✅ We only take trades when Traffic Light is GREEN or ORANGE.
❌ We do not trade on RED.
❌ We don’t trade the “L” ever. (No “always-on”/baseline entries—only the defined MP/HP signals)

The execution rule-set (how we behave)

We do not chase.

We do not force entries (“coerced trades” are banned).

We wait for the system to print a valid setup:

MP Long / HP Long OR MP Short / HP Short

AND Traffic Light = GREEN or ORANGE

If it’s RED: no trade, even if a signal appears.

That’s it: signal + permission. No improvisation.
