WHAT IS NEEDED TO F ORM A UNICORN?
Time
- liquidity grab at opening times. Most important element!
Liquidity
- The liquidity grab needs to see a higher timeframe liquidity taken(can be FVG or swing
high and low) a lower timeframe liquidity taken(Stop Hunt).
Breaker
- Bullish breaker: Highest up CLOSED candle BEFORE the leg down that took liquidity.
- Bearish breaker: The lowest down CLOSED candle BEFORE the leg up that took liquidity.
- When the breaker has consecutive closes you use the consecutive.
Fair Value Gap (FVG)
-Needs to be aligned with the breaker.
