Weekly Manipulation

Understanding the "Weekly Manipulation" Indicator

The "Weekly Manipulation" indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify false breakouts in the market—moments. Let me explain how it works in simple terms.

What This Indicator Detects

This indicator spots two specific market behaviors that often indicate manipulation:

1. Single-Day Manipulation (Red/Green Labels)

This occurs when price briefly breaks through a significant daily level but fails to maintain the momentum:

Bearish Manipulation (Red): Price pushes above the previous day's high, but then reverses and closes below that high.

Bullish Manipulation (Green): Price drops below the previous day's low), but then reverses and closes above that low.

2. Two-Day Manipulation (Black Labels)

This is a more complex version of the same pattern, but occurring over a 2-day period. These signals can indicate even stronger manipulation attempts and potentially more powerful reversals.

Why This Matters for Your Trading

By identifying these patterns, you can:
- Avoid getting caught in false breakouts
- Find potential entry points after the manipulation is complete
- Understand when market action might not be genuine price discovery

How to Use This Indicator

1. Look for Red Markers: These appear when price has attempted to break higher but failed. This often suggests bearish potential going forward.

2. Look for Green Markers: These appear when price has attempted to break lower but failed. This often suggests bullish potential going forward.

3. Pay Attention to Black Markers: These 2-day patterns can signal stronger reversals and might be worth giving extra weight in your analysis.

The indicator labels these patterns clearly as "Manipulation" right on your chart, giving you an immediate visual cue when these potential setups occur.

The Reality Behind This Indicator

It's important to understand the background of this indicator. This indicator is designed based on a [b]strategy developed by ConquerFX, who charges between $1500-$2000 for lifetime membership to his trading education program.
He markets what he calls "the blueprint strategy to beat prop firms," which combines this manipulation detection with VWAP and several other techniques. no one in his mentorship program has consistently passed prop firm challenges using this approach. The creator himself claimed he would reach $1 million in prop firm funding by year's end, but apparently abandoned this pursuit to focus on athletic endeavors like marathons, essentially disappearing from his mentorship community.
The most telling detail might be that the only members who reportedly achieved funding through prop firms were those who diverged from this strategy entirely and developed their own approaches.

This situation highlights an important lesson in trading education:
strategies that sound compelling in theory and look promising when back-tested don't always translate to consistent real-world trading success. The significant gap between the promises made and actual results achieved serves as a reminder that in trading, healthy skepticism and thorough personal verification are essential before committing substantial resources to any methodology.

While the indicator itself identifies a legitimate market pattern (false breakouts do occur and can be traded), it's important to develop your own comprehensive trading approach rather than expecting any single indicator or strategy to be a "blueprint" for guaranteed success.
