The desk reads live 1-hour and 5-minute XAU/USD candles from Twelve Data using the rules in your Market Mechanics guide, then weighs them against the news and macro backdrop below.
Setups from the guide’s two entry models, each graded on the A+ checklist. A signal gives the entry zone, the stop behind the protected swing and the liquidity it’s aiming for, then tracks what price did next. These are mechanical readings, not advice.
Outcomes are checked against later candles, so they only reflect how these rules would have played out. A day’s sample is far too small to judge the method by.
The medium timeframe: swing structure, break of structure (body close only), market shifts, the dealing range with its 50% equilibrium, and the order blocks and fair value gaps price is likely to react to.
The execution timeframe: internal structure, liquidity sweeps of recent highs and lows, and whether the latest candle shows displacement or rejection.
The guide’s three filters, filled in from the candles and the clock. Items it can’t judge from data are yours to tick.

This feeds the bias meter. It starts from the researched snapshot; drag it as the story changes, or ask Claude to re-read it against the live headlines.
High-impact events trigger the guide’s 30-minute rule on the permission check.
Entry at the nearest valid point of interest in the bias direction, stop behind the protected swing, targets at the next liquidity pools.
