Description
Strategy to detect BOS and FVG Touch from Valérie HackbarthRelease NotesTrading Strategy Summary – BOS + Demand Zone PullbackMarket ContextTimeframe: Lower timeframe (e.g. 5-minute)Bias: Bullish trendTrading only in the direction of the trend1. Break of Structure (BOS)A previous swing high is identified using market structure (pivot highs).A Break of Structure occurs when price closes above the last swing high.Only the first break candle is considered valid (no repeated BOS signals).2. Impulse Move ConfirmationAfter the BOS:Price must produce a strong bullish impulse, defined as:At least N consecutive bullish candlesThe distance from the open of the first bullish candle to the close of the last bullish candle is at least X × ATRThis confirms real buying pressure, not a fake breakout.3. Demand Zone IdentificationThe last bearish candle before the bullish impulse defines the Demand Zone:Zone Top = High of the bearish candleZone Bottom = Low of the bearish candleThis zone represents institutional buying interest.The zone is considered valid for a maximum of 10 candles after its creation.4. Pullback Entry ConditionsA buy setup is valid only when:Price pulls back into the Demand ZoneThe candle closes at or above the zone topThe pullback occurs after the impulse has completedThe demand zone is still within its valid time window5. Bullish Candle ConfirmationThe entry candle must show bullish intent using one of the following patterns:Bullish Marubozu (strong momentum, minimal wicks)Bullish Engulfing (buyers fully absorb sellers)Bullish Pin Bar / Hammer (rejection of lower prices)Only one of these patterns is required.6. Trade ExecutionEntry: At close of the confirmation candleStop Loss: Bottom of the Demand ZoneTake Profit: 1.3 × Risk (R-multiple)Only one open trade at a time7. Risk LogicRisk is defined structurally, not by indicators:Risk = Entry − Zone BottomIf price breaks below the demand zone, the trade idea is invalidated.Core PhilosophyThis strategy combines:Market structure (BOS)Momentum confirmation (impulse)Institutional zones (demand)Price action confirmation (candlesticks)The result is a rule-based, high-quality pullback strategy designed to avoid chasing price and instead enter where smart money is most likely active.
