1. HTF Trend Detection — Pattern-Based (new default)
The Framework now reads the completed HTF candle and classifies it (Breakout, Breakdown, Failed Rally, and 9 other patterns) to determine trend direction.
The previous version only flipped HTF trend on a full structural break (BOS/MSS). That’s precise but slow. By the time structure confirms, you’ve missed the move. Pattern-Based reacts faster while maintaining the same zero-repainting guarantee.
You can switch between Structure, Pattern-Based, or Either in the Trend Table settings.
2. Displacement threshold fixed
We found the displacement filter was set too high (1.5 ATR), filtering out most valid displacements. Default is now 1.0 ATR. The result: significantly more trade signals at the same or better win rate.
You can now adjust this yourself with the new Displacement ATR Multiplier setting. Lower = more trades, higher = only the strongest moves.
3. Updated defaults
TP2 raised from 1.3 to 1.5 R:R. TP3 raised from 1.5 to 2.0. Box
Cooldown now ON by default.
Performance Panel shows checkmark or cross for profitability.
Results across assets
These are default settings, no optimization:
XAUUSD 15m: 64 trades, 68.3% win rate, 0.2R expectancy
BTCUSD 1H: 27 trades, 61.5% win rate, 0.2R expectancy
EURUSD 15m: 78 trades, 60.5% win rate, 0.2R expectancy
Every signal fires on bar close. Every HTF call uses completed candles only. What the Performance Panel shows is what you’d get trading live.
Find your settings
Every asset and timeframe has a sweet spot. Open the Performance Panel, experiment with HTF Trend Detection mode, Displacement ATR Multiplier, and TP ratios, and find the combination that works best for how you trade.
Coming soon: we’re testing optimized presets for Forex, Indices, Crypto, and Metals internally. Once the numbers are solid, we’ll ship them as one-click configurations.
