What This Setup Is

A short profile setup that treats prior POC as the acceptance line and looks for rejection away from that high-volume node.

Why It Fires

A prior POC can become a decision line. If price cannot accept through it, trapped inventory can rotate away from the node.

Exact Trigger Checklist

  • Chart: MNQ 1-minute bars with prior-session profile levels visible.
  • Mark prior POC, value area, and POC before entry.
  • Required filter: narrative_tag+prior_vol_regime=risk-on melt+low.
  • Short only after the profile trigger confirms.
  • Use the tested 2R model and invalidate if price accepts back through the profile reference.

Good Conditions

  • The profile levels are clean and not distorted by holiday or half-day action.
  • Acceptance is clear rather than one wick through the level.
  • POC or the next value edge gives a realistic target path.
  • The tested filter bucket supports the auction direction.

Avoid Conditions

  • Price chops through profile levels with no acceptance.
  • The profile reference is stale or cluttered by multiple overlapping levels.
  • The setup fires directly into POC with no room.
  • The filter bucket disagrees with the published edge.
