One study, one screen, one routine. This is the order of operations from the premarket plan to the exit — built around the mentor's rules and the signals the study actually fires.
You don't reload the study — you update its inputs from the mentor's plan. Zones are the only required step; the bracket and fib are optional add-ons for the day's specific setup.
If you arm the bracket on a band, keep that same band out of the supply/demand slots — otherwise the base reject/break fires on top of the bracket. Different zones in each is fine.
Every line and label means the same thing here as on your screen. The top strip is the live readout; the bands are the zones; the lines are your references; the markers are the signals.
Status strip, decoded — ZONE MODE (zones loaded) · HTF bias and how many of 5 MAs agree · VPA (approach fading/steady + pop/no-pop) · Align L/S (how many of open/VWAP/9EMA each side has) · Next demand / supply and its distance · 1D ATR + Day range = % of 1D ATR + zone room ×1D ATR.
The study only fires when its gates are already met — the right zone interaction, a directional candle, above-average volume, alignment, the correct 9EMA side, and inside the live 5-minute window. The marker tells you the setup; you still apply the entry checklist in Phase 4.
| Marker | Fires when | Means / action |
|---|---|---|
| ▼ S-REJ | price tags a supply, closes back below it | supply rejected → put toward the demand |
| ▲ L-BNC | price tags a demand, closes back above it | demand held → call toward the supply |
| ▲ L-BRK | price breaks & holds above a supply | breakout → call continuation up |
| ▼ S-BRK | price breaks & holds below a demand | breakdown → put continuation down (your Trade #2) |
| ◆ RETEST | broken edge is wicked & rejected/held | lower-risk re-entry in the break's direction |
| PUT / CALL | bracket band triggers its bear/bull branch | the pre-armed plan fired → take the named target |
| ■ 50% FIB | price reaches your 50% fib level | target / exit zone — watch for the turn (your Trade #2 exit) |
| ▲ RECLAIM | broken demand reclaimed (full body back above) | puts thesis dead — stand down / flip bias |
| ▼ SUPPLY LOST | broken supply lost (full body back below) | calls thesis dead — stand down / flip bias |
| ■ EXIT | a 5m candle closes back across the 9EMA | trend break → close the trade |
Bracket vs radar: the radar (S-REJ / L-BNC / L-BRK / S-BRK) watches all your zones and re-fires as the day moves. The bracket is one band carrying two pre-armed plans that locks to whichever triggers first. Run the radar always; clip the bracket on only for a specific two-way band.
A marker is the trigger, not the trade. Run it through the mentor's checklist before you click — and let the 1D-ATR readout tell you whether the target is even worth taking.
Zone-to-zone distance is not the ticker's true daily range. The Demand/Supply room = ×1D ATR label tells you which you're looking at:
Small fraction of 1D ATR (≈0.4×) → weak target, plenty of range left → expect it to break. Be ready to ride through or re-enter on the break (don't treat it as a hard ceiling).
Near or beyond 1× ATR → the day's range is spent → real target, take profit (this is exactly why you exited Trade #2 at the fib once the day had run its ~$3.40).
"Anticipate" = bias + readiness, never front-running. You still pull the trigger on the volume-confirmed move. ATR is a tilt, not a ceiling — trend days run past it.
Hold while price respects the 9EMA. Four things take you out — in priority order, top first.
Note the study's mechanical exit (the 9EMA close) is the floor, not the ceiling of your skill — your discretionary reads (fib + ATR exhaustion + fading volume, like Trade #2) will often get you out cleaner and earlier. The EXIT alert is the backstop so a trend break never gets ignored.
