Description
Strategy 461 is a short-term price action strategy designed for XAUUSD on the 15-minute timeframe.The strategy is based on a clean liquidity sweep / TS pattern. It looks for situations where the current candle takes liquidity from the previous candle, rejects that move, and closes back with directional strength.Core IdeaThe strategy tries to capture short-term reversals after a liquidity sweep.A bullish setup appears when:The previous candle is bearish.The current candle sweeps the previous low.The current candle does not sweep the previous high.The current candle closes bullish.Price closes back above the previous low.A bearish setup appears when:The previous candle is bullish.The current candle sweeps the previous high.The current candle does not sweep the previous low.The current candle closes bearish.Price closes back below the previous high.Trend FilterThe strategy includes an optional EMA200 bias filter:Long trades are only allowed when price is above the EMA200.Short trades are only allowed when price is below the EMA200.This filter is intended to reduce counter-trend entries and improve signal quality.Risk ManagementEach trade uses a fixed Risk-to-Reward target.Stop Loss is placed beyond the sweep candle extreme.A configurable tick buffer is added beyond the wick.Take Profit is calculated using the selected RR multiple.The RR target can be adjusted from 1:1 upward.Example:RR Target = 1.0 means 1:1.RR Target = 1.5 means 1:1.5.RR Target = 2.0 means 1:2.Recommended MarketSymbol: XAUUSDTimeframe: 15 minutesMarket type: Gold / Spot Gold / CFD Gold, depending on broker data.Main InputsRR Target: Defines the take-profit distance relative to risk.Buffer SL in ticks: Adds extra distance beyond the sweep wick.EMA Bias Length: Default trend filter length.Use EMA200 Filter: Enables or disables directional bias.Session Filter: Optional trading session filter.Show EMA200: Displays the trend filter line.Exit LogicPositions are closed automatically by:Stop Loss.Take Profit based on the selected RR.The strategy does not use trailing stops or discretionary exits.NotesThis is a simple and direct liquidity-sweep model.
