The Rectangle — Core Framework
Everything in this strategy is defined by one shape: the rectangle. It provides your entry
zone, confirmation signal, stop loss reference, and take profit target — all in one tool.

Di rection — EMA (Optional)
Use the 50 EMA or the 200 EMA to lock in directional bias. Price above the EMA
signals long conditions. Price below signals short conditions. Ensure clear structure
exists.

Strength vs. Weakness
The setup relies entirely on identifying Weakness in the market. You must recognize

the difference between the two.
Strength — Avo i d for this setup
Candle Closes Through
Price displaces beyond the level and closes outside it. The level is disrespected — do not
trade this scenario. This is a true breakout leading to continuation.
Weakness — Our S etup
Wick Rejection
Price sweeps the level but closes back inside. This wick rejection is the only trigger we
trade. Without it — no entry. This is the fakeout.
Weakness
Rule: No wick rejection on the M15 chart = No trade. Do not anticipate, wait for the close.

The 3 Steps Step 1 Step 2
The goal is catching M15 high-probability liquidity sweeps using the M1 chart for
precision. Follow these strictly.
01
01 Mark Valid M15 Level
Identify a high/low on the M15 chart. It must align with the trend and ideally sit
inside an imbalance.
02
02 Wait for Weakness Trigger
Price must sweep past your marked level but fail to close beyond it. This is the M15
wick rejection.

immediate signal to enter.

Align the M15 and 4H direction
The strongest setups happen when both timeframes agree. If the 4H structure is bullish, look for
bullish M15 setups only. Avoid trading against the higher timeframe narrative.
