Structure: HTF Bias, the Sweep, the Fakeout

Each dimension is taught as what it measures, why it earns points, and what it looks like on the chart. The indicator computes the internals; you read the result on the info panel.

HTF Bias — 2 points

The higher-timeframe tide, read from the EMA-21/50 stack on the higher timeframe. When the stack is aligned bull, long setups earn the points and shorts are swimming upstream. This dimension is also a hard gate (M08) — but as a score component, it rewards setups that have the tide behind them. On the info panel: HTF bull / bear / mix.

Sweep / Near — 3 points, the heaviest single dimension

The EMA-21 liquidity sweep with a quality reclaim candle. Price pushes through the EMA-21 band — the zone where stops and late entries pool — and closes back through it with a candle that shows rejection, not drift. Full sweep-and-reclaim earns 3. Price sitting near the zone without the full event earns 1. This is the heart of the system: the flush-and-reclaim from M06, quantified.

Fakeout — 2 points

A breach-and-reclaim of weekly fib structure. Price violates a weekly level — the kind every swing trader has drawn — and then closes back inside it. A confirmed fakeout means the crowd that traded the breach is now trapped. The system pays points for trapped crowds.

Why these weights: the sweep is worth more than any other single dimension because it is the event itself. HTF bias and fakeout are context that the event happened in the right place, with the right tide.
