Automating Market Memory Zones with Confirmed Pullback Entries
Summary
The document describes an Expert Advisor that converts three types of price zones into rule-based trades: displacement candles, market-structure transitions, and liquidity sweeps. Displacement zones use candle range relative to ATR, body size, overlap, and close location. Transition zones are tied to a change of character and the last opposing candle; sweep zones mark a break of prior highs or lows followed by a reversal. In each case, the system waits for price to leave and revisit the zone, then seeks lower-timeframe confirmation before entering.
The proposed management rules include stops beyond zone or swing boundaries, structure-based targets, risk-based position sizing, zone expiry, and daily trade limits. The article describes a backtest on the H1 timeframe over a roughly two-month window, but the supplied excerpt gives no performance figures, so it does not show whether the rules were profitable. Outcomes may also depend on the chosen thresholds, confirmation definitions, instrument, and timeframe; these require careful testing before live use.
Key ideas
- The EA classifies zones as displacement, structure transition, or liquidity sweep events.
- Displacement detection combines ATR-scaled range with candle body, overlap, and close-location conditions.
- Entries wait for a zone revisit and confirmation instead of trading the initial move or break.
- Stops, targets, risk sizing, zone expiry, and daily limits are configurable management rules.
- The stated backtest window has no reported performance results in the provided text.
