Description
This script is a sophisticated multi-timeframe algorithmic trading system designed specifically for the Nasdaq futures market (/MNQ). It blends high-level institutional theory with strict risk management required for professional prop firm evaluations (like Apex or Topstep).Think of it as a two-part system: a Macro Brain that decides the direction of the market, and a Micro Sniper that executes the entry at the most mathematically advantageous price.### How the "Brain" Works (Daily Governor)The script starts by looking at the Daily Chart to establish a "Regime." It ignores small, intraday price fluctuations and instead hunts for Market Structure Shifts (MSS).The Rule: If the price closes above the highest high of the last 25 days, the "Brain" turns Bullish. If it closes below the lowest low of the last 25 days, it turns Bearish.The Purpose: This prevents you from "fighting the tape." The 5-minute bot is physically locked out of shorting during a massive bull run or longing during a crash.### How the "Sniper" Works (The Market Maker Model)Once the Daily direction is set, the script moves to the 5-minute chart to find an entry. It uses the "Power of 3" (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution) concept:The Midnight Open: The script marks the exact price where the day began.The Manipulation (Judas Swing): If the trend is Bullish, the script waits for the price to drop below the Daily Open. This represents the morning "trap" where retail traders are tricked into selling.The Trigger: Once in that "discount" zone below the open, the script looks for a Fair Value Gap (FVG). This is a 3-candle momentum burst that proves smart money has stepped in to reverse the price.### The Risk & Compliance EngineBecause this is built for prop firms, the script has "guardrails" that a human trader might struggle to maintain:Strict Risk Engine: It calculates the distance to your stop loss. If one single contract would cost more than your allowed risk (e.g., 0.25% of your $25k account), it aborts the trade. It refuses to over-leverage.Daily Trade Limit: To prevent "revenge trading" or getting chopped up in a sideways market, the bot shuts itself off after 2 trades (win or lose) and waits for the next day.The Killswitch: At 3:50 PM EST, the script instantly flattens all positions. This ensures you never violate the prop firm rule of holding positions past the market close.### The Mathematical ObjectiveThe script operates on Asymmetric Risk. By using a 1:3 Risk/Reward ratio, the bot can be "wrong" most of the time and still be highly profitable.It only needs to win 26% of its trades to break even.As your testing showed, it consistently hits a 35–45% win rate, meaning the account equity grows through the sheer power of the math rather than "guessing" the next move.
