MNQ Gann First30 1X1 Angle Reject Short 2R - Growth Downside Middle
A public playbook for the MNQ Gann First30 1X1 Angle Reject Short 2R - Growth Downside Middle Strategy Lab published edge.
19 trades / 63.2% win / 3.29 profit factor / +23.87 avg pts.
What This Setup Is
A Gann-style short setup that anchors a 1X1 angle from the first 30-minute structure, then waits for price to reject that angle before taking the tested 2R continuation model.
Why It Fires
The first 30-minute range gives the session a clean reference point. When price respects the 1X1 angle instead of accepting through it, the angle can act as a simple timing line for downside continuation.
Exact Trigger Checklist
- Chart: MNQ 1-minute bars; anchor the angle from the first 30-minute structure.
- Draw the 1X1 angle before entry and treat it as the decision line.
- Required filter: narrative_tag+first30_close_location=growth downside+middle.
- Short only after price confirms below the angle.
- Use the tested 2R model and invalidate if price accepts through the angle.
Good Conditions
- The first 30-minute structure is clean enough to anchor the angle.
- Price respects the angle with a clear confirmation candle.
- The trigger has room before the next obvious opposing level.
- The tested filter bucket supports the angle direction.
Avoid Conditions
- The angle is redrawn after the move to force the setup.
- Price chops through the angle repeatedly before entry.
- The setup fires after the target path is already stretched.
- The filter bucket does not match the saved research edge.
