What This Setup Is

An ICT-style long setup that waits for displacement, marks the last opposing candle as an order block, and only acts when price retests the demand block.

Why It Fires

Displacement shows initiative flow. When price returns to the demand block and holds above invalidation, the retest can become a clean upside continuation attempt instead of a chase.

Exact Trigger Checklist

  • Chart: MNQ 1-minute bars after the opening range has enough structure.
  • Find a clear bullish displacement leg before marking the block.
  • Mark the demand block created before displacement.
  • Required filter: narrative_tag=growth downside.
  • Go long only on a controlled retest; use the tested 2R model.

Good Conditions

  • The displacement candle sequence is obvious without hindsight.
  • The demand block is tight enough to give a clean invalidation point.
  • The retest is controlled rather than a deep acceptance failure.
  • The filter bucket supports the long direction.

Avoid Conditions

  • The order block is chosen after the fact.
  • Price accepts below the block instead of defending it.
  • The setup needs a huge stop relative to target.
  • The retest happens during headline shock.
