What This Setup Is

A long setup built around acceptance at the value area high, using profile context to confirm auction direction.

Why It Fires

Acceptance around value area high can confirm whether value is migrating. A clean hold outside value can start a directional auction.

Exact Trigger Checklist

  • Chart: MNQ 1-minute bars with prior-session profile levels visible.
  • Mark value area high, value area, and POC before entry.
  • Required filter: regime_rates+first30_close_location=up+middle.
  • Go long 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.
