What It Detects

Failed 2 (Reversal Setup)

A Failed 2 occurs when price breaks one side of the previous candle, then fails and closes in the opposite direction:
• Failed 2D → Bullish reversal
• Failed 2U → Bearish reversal

This produces trapped breakout traders, often leading to explosive continuation.
FTFC measures whether price is above or below the opening price of higher timeframes.
If selected timeframes are all aligned, trend conviction is strong.

You can toggle ON/OFF each timeframe to define FTFC:
• 1H
• 1D
• 1W
• 1M
• 1Q
• 1Y

Only the timeframes you select must agree.
