Kinetic Scalper [BULLBYTE]

KINETIC SCALPER - ADVANCED MOMENTUM & CONFLUENCE TRADING SYSTEM

A SOPHISTICATED MULTI-FACTOR ANALYSIS INDICATOR FOR PRECISION ENTRIES

The Kinetic Scalper is a comprehensive trading analysis tool that combines volume-weighted momentum calculations, multi-oscillator divergence detection, and a proprietary 15-factor confluence scoring system to identify high-probability reversal setups across all timeframes.

WHAT MAKES THIS INDICATOR ORIGINAL

This is NOT a simple mashup of existing indicators.

The Kinetic Scalper features a completely custom momentum engine called the "Kinetic Pulse" - a volume-weighted momentum oscillator with Fisher Transform normalization that fundamentally differs from standard RSI or other momentum indicators. Every component feeds into a unified algorithmic framework designed specifically for this system.

KEY INNOVATIONS:

KINETIC PULSE ENGINE
Unlike standard RSI which uses simple price changes, the Kinetic Pulse applies:
→ Volume weighting to price movements (high-volume moves carry more weight)
→ EMA smoothing instead of traditional SMA (faster response to changes)
→ Fisher Transform normalization for improved signal clarity
→ Adaptive period adjustment based on current volatility regime
→ Result: A momentum oscillator that responds to conviction, not just price noise

15-FACTOR CONFLUENCE SCORING SYSTEM
Every signal is graded based on the number of confirming factors present:
→ Momentum position (oversold/overbought extremes)
→ Momentum velocity (direction change confirmation)
→ Momentum acceleration (strength of reversal)
→ Multi-oscillator divergence (price vs. 3 oscillators)
→ Volume confirmation (above-average participation)
→ Volume delta analysis (buying vs. selling pressure)
→ Higher timeframe alignment (trend confirmation from larger timeframe)
→ Session timing (major forex session awareness)
→ Structure clearance (clear path to profit targets)
→ Support/resistance proximity (confluence with key levels)
→ Market regime filtering (trending vs. choppy conditions)

Signals are graded A+, A, or B based on how many factors align:
• CONSERVATIVE MODE: A+ requires 12+ factors, A requires 9+, B requires 7+
• BALANCED MODE: A+ requires 10+ factors, A requires 7+, B requires 5+
• AGGRESSIVE MODE: A+ requires 8+ factors, A requires 5+, B requires 3+

TRADE ANALYSIS STATE MACHINE
A sophisticated monitoring system that tracks trade conditions in real-time using:
→ 5-state analysis framework (Factors Aligned / Positive Bias / Mixed Signals / Factors Weakening / Negative Bias)
→ Hysteresis-based transitions (different thresholds to enter vs. exit states)
→ Confidence smoothing with EMA (reduces noise, prevents flip-flopping)
→ Minimum commitment periods before state changes
→ Override logic for significant events (near TP/SL, momentum reversals)
→ Result: Stable, actionable guidance that doesn't change on every bar

INSTRUMENT-AWARE CALIBRATION
Automatically detects what you're trading and applies optimized parameters:
→ Forex Majors: Standard ATR, high session weight
→ Forex Crosses: Tighter stops, moderate session weight
→ Crypto: Wider stops (1.8x multiplier), reduced session weight (24/7 markets)
→ Indices: Moderate-wide stops, high session weight
→ Commodities: Moderate stops, moderate session weight

WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES

The Kinetic Scalper is designed to identify high-confluence reversal opportunities by analyzing multiple dimensions of market behavior simultaneously.

CORE FUNCTIONS:

1. SIGNAL GENERATION
→ Identifies potential reversal points at oversold/overbought extremes
→ Confirms with multi-oscillator divergence detection
→ Validates with volume, higher timeframe, and structural analysis
→ Filters out low-probability setups automatically
→ Grades signals based on total confluence factors present

2. AUTOMATED TRADE TRACKING
→ Calculates structure-based or ATR-based stop loss levels
→ Projects take profit targets using risk-to-reward ratios
→ Monitors live position status (P/L, distance to targets, R-multiple)
→ Tracks TP1 and TP2 hits automatically
→ Displays outcome markers (TP HIT, PARTIAL WIN, STOPPED)

3. REAL-TIME CONDITION MONITORING
→ Analyzes 6 factor categories during active trades
→ Provides confidence scoring (0-100 scale)
→ Generates actionable guidance based on current market state
→ Alerts when conditions deteriorate or improve
→ Helps with trade management decisions

4. COMPREHENSIVE MARKET ANALYSIS
→ Session detection (Asian, London, New York, Overlap)
→ Volatility regime identification (Low, Normal, High, Extreme)
→ Trend state classification (Trending Up/Down, Ranging, Transitioning)
→ Volume analysis (relative volume and delta approximation)
→ Choppiness filtering (blocks signals in ranging markets)

WHY USE THIS INDICATOR

PROBLEM: Most momentum indicators generate too many false signals at extremes.

SOLUTION: The Kinetic Scalper requires MULTIPLE confirming factors before generating a signal, dramatically reducing noise and focusing on high-confluence setups.

→ Calculated stop loss based on market structure or ATR
→ Two profit targets with clear risk-to-reward ratios
→ Live trade monitoring with factor analysis
→ Outcome tracking and visual markers

✓ ADAPTIVE TO MARKET CONDITIONS
→ Volatility-based period adjustment for momentum calculations
→ Instrument-specific ATR multipliers
→ Session awareness for forex traders
→ Higher timeframe trend filtering
→ Automatic regime detection (trending vs. choppy)

✓ TRANSPARENT METHODOLOGY
→ Every input has detailed tooltips explaining its purpose
→ Signal tooltips show exactly why a signal was generated
→ Dashboard displays all relevant market conditions
→ Factor scores are visible during trades
→ No "black box" mystery calculations

✓ NON-REPAINTING & RELIABLE
→ All signals use barstate.isconfirmed (only on closed bars)
→ Higher timeframe data uses lookahead_off with historical offset
→ No future data access or repainting behavior
→ What you see is what you get - signals don't disappear or move

HOW THE INDICATOR WORKS

SIGNAL GENERATION PROCESS:

STEP 1: MOMENTUM ANALYSIS
The Kinetic Pulse engine calculates volume-weighted momentum:
→ Price changes are weighted by volume ratio vs. 20-bar average
→ High-volume moves have more influence on the oscillator
→ Gains and losses are smoothed using EMA (not SMA like RSI)
→ Fisher Transform is applied for normalization to 0-100 scale
→ Result: Momentum reading that emphasizes conviction, not noise

STEP 2: REVERSAL DETECTION
The indicator looks for potential reversal conditions:
→ Kinetic Pulse reaching oversold zone (below dynamic lower threshold)
→ Momentum velocity turning positive after being negative (for longs)
→ OR bullish divergence detected on multiple oscillators
→ Price making lower lows while oscillators make higher lows = divergence

STEP 3: MULTI-OSCILLATOR DIVERGENCE CONFIRMATION
Divergence is validated across three sources:
→ Kinetic Pulse divergence
→ CCI divergence
→ Stochastic divergence
→ Multiple oscillators confirming divergence increases signal reliability

STEP 4: CONFLUENCE FACTOR SCORING
The system evaluates all 15 possible confirming factors:
→ Momentum position: Is pulse oversold/overbought? (+0 to +2 points)
→ Momentum direction: Is velocity reversing? (+0 to +2 points)
→ Momentum acceleration: Is reversal strengthening? (+0 to +1 point)
→ Divergence count: How many oscillators show divergence? (+0 to +2 points)
→ Volume strength: Is volume above 1.3x average? (+0 to +1 point)
→ Volume delta: Is cumulative delta positive/negative? (+0 to +1 point)
→ HTF alignment: Does higher timeframe support direction? (+0 to +2 points)
→ Session timing: Is it a prime trading session? (+0 to +1 point)
→ Clear air: Is path to targets clear of obstacles? (+0 to +1 point)
→ Structure confluence: Are we near support/resistance? (+0 to +1 point)
→ Market regime: Is market trending, not choppy? (+0 to +1 point)

Total possible score: 15 points
Minimum for signal: 3-12 points depending on sensitivity mode

STEP 5: FILTER VALIDATION
Before generating a signal, additional checks are performed:
→ Volume must be above minimum threshold (if filter enabled)
→ Higher timeframe must not oppose the signal direction (if filter enabled)
→ Target path must be clear of major resistance/support (if filter enabled)
→ Volatility must not be EXTREME (blocks signals in chaos)
→ Risk-to-reward ratio must meet minimum requirement
→ Cooldown period must have elapsed since last signal

STEP 6: SIGNAL GRADING
If all filters pass, the signal is graded based on score:
→ A+ Grade: Highest confluence (8-12+ factors depending on sensitivity)
→ A Grade: High confluence (5-9+ factors)
→ B Grade: Moderate confluence (3-7+ factors)

Only graded signals (A+, A, or B) are displayed.

STEP 7: TRADE LEVEL CALCULATION
Stop loss and targets are calculated automatically:

STOP LOSS METHODS:
• Structure-Based: Uses recent swing low/high with ATR buffer, constrained by min/max ATR limits
• ATR-Based: Pure ATR multiplier with min/max constraints
• Fixed ATR: Simple ATR multiplier, no adjustments

TARGET CALCULATION:
• TP1: Entry ± (Stop Distance × Target 1 R:R)
• TP2: Entry ± (Stop Distance × Target 2 R:R)
• Default: TP1 at 1.0 R:R (1:1), TP2 at 2.0 R:R (1:2)

STEP 8: TRADE MONITORING
Once a signal is taken, the indicator tracks:
→ Current P/L in ticks and R-multiples
→ Distance to each target in ATR units
→ Distance to stop loss in ATR units
→ TP1 hit detection (marks with label, updates lines)
→ TP2 hit detection (closes trade, marks outcome)
→ Stop loss hit detection (closes trade, differentiates partial vs. full loss)

STEP 9: FACTOR ANALYSIS (DURING TRADES)
The Trade Analysis Panel monitors 6 key factor categories:
→ Momentum: Is momentum still aligned with trade direction? (-15 to +15 pts)
→ Position: Current R-multiple position (-12 to +12 pts)
→ Volume: Is volume still supportive? (-6 to +6 pts)
→ HTF Alignment: Does HTF still support trade? (-6 to +8 pts)
→ Target Proximity: How close are we to targets? (0 to +10 pts)
→ Stop Proximity: Are we dangerously close to stop? (-15 to +3 pts)

Raw scores are summed and smoothed using 5-bar EMA to create Confidence Score (0-100).

STEP 10: STATE MACHINE TRANSITIONS
Based on smoothed confidence, the system transitions between 5 states:
→ FACTORS ALIGNED (72+): Everything looks good
→ POSITIVE BIAS (58-72): Conditions favorable
→ MIXED SIGNALS (48-58): Neutral conditions
→ FACTORS WEAKENING (22-48): Concerning signals
→ NEGATIVE BIAS (<22): Poor conditions

Hysteresis prevents rapid flipping between states (different entry/exit thresholds).

→ Default: ON
→ Impact: Prevents trades with immediate obstacles
→ Recommended: Keep enabled

Minimum Bars Between Signals
→ Purpose: Cooldown period after each signal
→ Range: 1 to 10
→ Default: 3
→ Impact: After a signal, this many bars must pass before another in same direction
→ When to adjust:
• Increase to 5-7 to prevent over-trading
• Decrease to 1-2 for faster re-entries

ADVANCED TUNING:

Momentum Period
→ Purpose: Base period for Kinetic Pulse calculation
→ Range: 5 to 30
→ Default: 14
→ When to adjust:
• Lower (8-10): More responsive, noisier
• Higher (18-21): Smoother, slower to react
→ Note: If Adaptive Period enabled, this is adjusted automatically

Adaptive Period
→ Purpose: Auto-adjusts momentum period based on volatility
→ Default: ON
→ Impact: Shortens period in high volatility, lengthens in low volatility
→ Recommended: Keep enabled for automatic optimization

Divergence Lookback
→ Purpose: How far back to search for divergence patterns
→ Range: 10 to 60
→ Default: 30
→ When to adjust:
• Shorter (15-20): Only recent divergences
• Longer (40-50): Catches older divergences (may be less relevant)

Swing Detection Bars
→ Purpose: Bars required on each side to confirm swing high/low
→ Range: 2 to 7
→ Default: 3
→ Impact on stops:
• Lower (2-3): More swing points, potentially tighter stops
• Higher (5-7): Only major swings, wider stops

Choppiness Index Threshold
→ Purpose: Threshold above which market considered choppy
→ Range: 38.2 to 80.0
→ Default: 61.8
→ Impact:
• Lower (50-55): Stricter quality filter (fewer signals in ranging markets)

→ A+ SIGNALS (Highest Quality)
• 8-12+ confirming factors aligned
• Multiple divergences OR strong momentum reversal
• HTF alignment + volume + session timing + clear structure
• These are your highest-probability setups
• Recommended action: Give these priority, consider larger position size

→ A SIGNALS (High Quality)
• 5-9+ confirming factors aligned
• Good confluence, most key factors present
• Missing 1-2 optimal conditions
• These are still quality trades
• Recommended action: Standard position size, solid setups

→ B SIGNALS (Moderate Quality)
• 3-7+ confirming factors aligned
• Minimum viable confluence
• May be missing HTF alignment, volume, or session timing
• Higher variance outcomes
• Recommended action: Smaller position size or skip if conservative

SIGNAL NARRATIVE:

Each signal tooltip includes a narrative explaining WHY it was generated:

→ "Multi-divergence at oversold extreme"
• Multiple oscillators showing bullish divergence
• Kinetic Pulse in oversold zone
• High-quality reversal setup

→ "Bullish divergence near support"
• Divergence detected
• Price near key support level (swing low or PDL)
• Structure confluence

→ "Momentum reversal with HTF alignment"
• Kinetic Pulse velocity reversing
• Higher timeframe supports direction
• Strong trend-following setup

→ "Oversold momentum reversal"
• Extreme Kinetic Pulse reading reversing
• May not have divergence but strong momentum shift

READING THE TRADE PLAN:

Every signal comes with a complete trade plan:

→ ENTRY: The close price of the signal candle
• This is where the signal triggered
• If using limit orders, you might improve on this price

→ STOP: Calculated stop loss level
• Based on your Stop Loss Method setting
• Distance shown in ticks
• Risk tolerance: Ensure this represents ≤1-2% of your account

→ TP1: First profit target
• Default: 1:1 risk-reward
• This is your partial profit or first exit
• Consider taking 50% off at TP1

→ TP2: Second profit target
• Default: 1:2 risk-reward
• This is your "full win" target
• Hold remaining position for this level

SIGNAL FREQUENCY EXPECTATIONS:

Frequency varies by timeframe, sensitivity, and market conditions:

→ AGGRESSIVE MODE
• Lower timeframes (1m-5m): 5-15 signals per day
• Mid timeframes (15m-1H): 2-5 signals per day
• Higher timeframes (4H-D): 1-3 signals per week

→ BALANCED MODE (Default)
• Lower timeframes: 3-8 signals per day
• Mid timeframes: 1-3 signals per day
• Higher timeframes: 2-5 signals per week

→ CONSERVATIVE MODE

- Target: +10 + (TP1 achieved, approaching TP2)
- Stop Dist: +3 + (excellent cushion)
- Bottom Status: "Multiple factors positive"
- Visual State: Green background (FACTORS ALIGNED state)

Description:
Trade Execution Phase - First Target Achieved: After 29 bars , price reaches the first take-profit target at 26,157.00. The '[TP1 HIT]' marker confirms partial profit taking. Current P/L shows +30.85 points (+1.12R), exceeding the initial 1:1 risk-reward.

The Trade Analysis Panel shows dramatic improvement - confidence has surged to 78% (FACTORS ALIGNED state) with most factors now positive:
- Momentum factor improved to +8 (velocity aligned with trade direction)
- Position factor at +8 (over +1R profit zone)
- HTF Align jumped to +8 (higher timeframe now confirming the move)
- Target factor maxed at +10 (TP1 achieved, TP2 within reach)
- Stop Distance at +3 (58.5 points cushion providing safety)

Notice the panel status displays 'Multiple factors positive' with a green-tinted background, indicating optimal trade conditions. The confidence trend shows 'RISING' suggesting continued momentum. With TP1 secured and only 24.44 points to TP2, the trade is well-positioned for a full 1:2R win.

SCREENSHOT 4: TP2 Reached - Trade Complete (Image 4)



Time: ~15:00+ UTC+5:30
Final Exit: 26,129.35 (TP2)
Final Result: Full TP2 win

Main Dashboard (Top Right):
- Bias: NEUTRAL (reverted to scanning mode)
- Pulse: 45.2 (returned to neutral zone)
- Volatility: NORMAL
- Trend: TREND DOWN (confirmed the move)
- Session: LONDON
- Volume: 1.26x (increased as move developed)
- HTF: BEARISH (fully aligned post-trade)
- Best Score: 5/5 [-] (neutral after completion)

Trade Analysis Panel (Bottom Left):
- Status: NO ACTIVE TRADE (reverted)
- Long Score: 5/5 (RDY)
- Short Score: 5/5 (RDY)
- Panel Message: "Scanning - prime session active"
- Light blue/cyan background (back to scanning mode)

Description:
Trade Completion - Full Target Achieved: The short trade reaches its second take-profit target at 26,129.35, securing a complete 1:2 risk-reward win. The '[TP2 REACHED]' marker confirms the exit. Final results:

- Entry: 26,184.65
- Exit: 26,129.35
- Profit: 55.30 points (approximately +2.0R)
- Outcome: Full TP2 success

Post-Trade Analysis: After trade closure, the indicator automatically returns to market scanning mode. The Main Dashboard reverts to showing market conditions rather than trade metrics. Notice how the 'Trend' now displays 'TREND DOWN' - confirming the move we captured. Volume increased to 1.26x during the winning move, validating the signal quality.

The Trade Analysis Panel switches back to 'NO ACTIVE TRADE' status and resumes displaying long/short setup scores. The confidence-based factor monitoring was instrumental throughout the trade:
- Initial entry at 57% confidence (MIXED SIGNALS)
- Peak confidence of 78% at TP1 (FACTORS ALIGNED)
- Real-time factor updates helped confirm trade validity

This example demonstrates the indicator's complete workflow: setup identification → signal generation → entry execution → live trade monitoring → systematic exit at targets.

KEY FEATURES DEMONSTRATED

1. Dual Dashboard System

USAGE TIPS & BEST PRACTICES

SIGNAL SELECTION:

✓ GRADE MATTERS
→ A+ signals have statistically more confluence factors
→ If you're conservative, trade only A+ signals
→ B signals can work but require more discretion

✓ CONFLUENCE WITH YOUR ANALYSIS
→ Use this indicator as CONFIRMATION, not sole decision criteria
→ Combine with your own support/resistance analysis
→ Check for fundamental events (news, economic data)
→ Respect major round numbers and psychological levels

✓ SESSION TIMING (Forex)
→ Best signals often occur during London/NY overlap
→ Avoid signals 10 minutes before major news releases
→ Asian session signals can be valid but lower liquidity

✓ TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE
→ If you get an A+ signal on 15m, check if 1H chart agrees
→ Higher timeframe confirmation adds conviction
→ Avoid signals that oppose the daily/4H trend

TRADE MANAGEMENT:

✓ POSITION SIZING
→ ALWAYS size positions so stop loss = 1-2% of account
→ Never risk more than you can afford to lose
→ Smaller position on B signals, standard on A, larger on A+ (within limits)

✓ PARTIAL PROFIT TAKING
→ Consider taking 50% off at TP1
→ Move stop to breakeven after TP1 hit
→ Let remaining position run to TP2

✓ TRAILING STOPS
→ The indicator doesn't auto-trail stops (manual decision)
→ After TP1, you might manually move stop to entry (breakeven)
→ Consider ATR-based trailing stop for runners

✓ WATCH THE ANALYSIS PANEL
→ If state changes to "Factors Weakening" while in profit, consider exit
→ "Negative Bias" during a trade is a strong warning
→ "Factors Aligned" confirms your trade thesis is still valid

RISK MANAGEMENT:

✓ NEVER IGNORE STOPS
→ The calculated stop is there for a reason
→ Moving stop further away increases risk exponentially
→ If stopped out, accept it and wait for next setup

✓ AVOID REVENGE TRADING
→ If you get stopped out, resist urge to immediately re-enter
→ Signal cooldown helps with this
→ Wait for next qualified signal

✓ RESPECT VOLATILITY WARNINGS
→ If indicator shows "EXTREME" volatility, signals are blocked for a reason
→ Don't force trades in chaotic conditions
→ Wait for regime to normalize

✓ CORRELATION RISK
→ Be aware of correlation if trading multiple pairs
→ EUR/USD and GBP/USD are highly correlated
→ Don't stack risk on correlated instruments

OPTIMIZATION:

✓ START WITH DEFAULTS
→ Default settings are well-tested
→ Don't over-optimize for recent market behavior
→ Give settings at least 20-30 trades before judging

✓ TIMEFRAME-SPECIFIC ADJUSTMENTS
→ Lower timeframes: Consider increasing Signal Distance to 3.0-4.0
→ Higher timeframes: ATR Stop Multiplier might go to 2.0-2.5
→ Crypto: Ensure Instrument Type is set to "Crypto" for proper stops

✓ SENSITIVITY CALIBRATION
→ Too many signals? Switch to Conservative
→ Missing good setups? Try Balanced or Aggressive
→ Quality > Quantity always

✓ KEEP A JOURNAL
→ Track which signal grades work best for you
→ Note which sessions produce best results
→ Review stopped trades for patterns

THINGS TO AVOID:

✗ DON'T chase signals after several bars have passed
✗ DON'T ignore the stop loss or move it further away
✗ DON'T overtrade by taking every B-grade signal
✗ DON'T trade during major news if you're not experienced
✗ DON'T use this as your only analysis tool
✗ DON'T expect 100% win rate (no indicator has this)
✗ DON'T risk more than 1-2% per trade regardless of signal grade

UNDERSTANDING THE METHODOLOGY

WHY VOLUME WEIGHTING?

Traditional momentum oscillators treat all price moves equally. A 10-point move on low volume is weighted the same as a 10-point move on high volume.

The Kinetic Pulse corrects this by:
→ Calculating volume ratio vs. 20-bar average
→ Applying square root transformation to volume ratio (prevents extreme weights)
→ Multiplying price changes by volume weight
→ Result: High-volume moves influence the oscillator more than low-volume noise

This helps filter false breakouts and emphasizes moves with participation.

WHY FISHER TRANSFORM?

Fisher Transform is a mathematical transformation that:
→ Normalizes probability distributions
→ Creates sharper turning points
→ Amplifies extremes while compressing the middle
→ Makes overbought/oversold levels more distinct

Applied to the Kinetic Pulse, it helps identify genuine extremes vs. noise.

WHY MULTI-OSCILLATOR DIVERGENCE?

Single-source divergence can give false signals. By requiring divergence confirmation across multiple oscillators (Kinetic Pulse, CCI, Stochastic), the system filters out:
→ Divergences caused by calculation quirks in one oscillator
→ Temporary momentum anomalies
→ False divergence on noisy, low-timeframe charts

Multiple sources confirming the same pattern increases reliability.

WHY ADAPTIVE PERIODS?

Fixed periods can be:
→ Too slow during high volatility (miss fast reversals)
→ Too fast during low volatility (generate noise)

The adaptive system:
→ Shortens period when ATR ratio > 1.3 (high volatility = need faster response)
→ Lengthens period when ATR ratio < 0.7 (low volatility = need noise filtering)
→ Keeps period in reasonable range (60% to 140% of base period)
→ Result: Oscillator adjusts to current market pace automatically

WHY HYSTERESIS IN STATE MACHINE?

Without hysteresis, the analysis state would flip-flop on every bar, creating:
→ Confusing, contradictory guidance
→ Analysis paralysis
→ Lack of actionable information

Hysteresis solves this by:
→ Using different thresholds to ENTER vs. EXIT a state
→ Example: Enter "Factors Aligned" at 72+ confidence, but don't exit until <62
→ This creates stable states that persist through minor fluctuations
→ Requires minimum commitment period (3 bars) before state changes
→ Overrides commitment for significant events (near TP/SL)
→ Result: Stable, trustworthy analysis that changes only when truly warranted

WHY CONFIDENCE SMOOTHING?

Raw factor scores fluctuate bar-by-bar based on momentary conditions. Smoothing:
→ Uses 5-period EMA on raw confidence scores
→ Filters out single-bar anomalies
→ Preserves genuine trends in confidence
→ Prevents false state transitions
→ Result: More reliable assessment of actual trade health

WHY INSTRUMENT-SPECIFIC PARAMETERS?

Different instruments have different characteristics:
→ Forex is highly liquid, respects technical levels well, standard ATR works
→ Crypto is extremely volatile, needs wider stops (1.8x) to avoid false stops
→ Indices respect session opens strongly, session weighting is important
→ Commodities fall in between

Auto-detection applies research-based multipliers automatically.

WHY STRUCTURE-BASED STOPS?

ATR-based stops can:
→ Place stop in middle of consolidation (easily hit)
→ Ignore obvious invalidation levels
→ Be too tight during expansion or too wide during contraction

Structure-based stops:
→ Use actual swing highs/lows (where traders actually place stops)
→ Add small ATR buffer to avoid stop hunting
→ Constrain within min/max ATR limits for safety
→ Result: Stops that respect market geometry while managing risk
