What This Setup Is

A Turtle-style short breakout that waits for price to accept beyond the 55-bar Donchian channel.

Why It Fires

The channel turns recent range structure into a simple decision line. Acceptance outside the 55-bar boundary can start expansion.

Exact Trigger Checklist

  • Chart: MES 1-minute bars during the New York setup window.
  • Build the pattern before entry; do not label it after the move has already worked.
  • Required filter: regime_dxy+entry_dxy=down+up.
  • Short only after the trigger confirms and acceptance holds.
  • Use the tested 2R model and invalidate above the setup zone.

Good Conditions

  • The channel forms from real compression rather than one random wick.
  • The channel boundary is visible before entry.
  • Follow-through expands after the break.
  • The filter bucket supports trend continuation.

Avoid Conditions

  • Price breaks the channel and immediately snaps back inside.
  • The channel is too wide to support the tested stop model.
  • The break fires directly into a major opposing level.
  • The market is already exhausted before the channel break.
