What This Setup Is

A short setup that waits for price to accept back inside value and rotate toward POC.

Why It Fires

When price fails outside value and returns inside, POC can act like a magnet for unfinished auction business.

Exact Trigger Checklist

  • Chart: MNQ 1-minute bars with prior-session profile levels visible.
  • Mark value area edge, value area, and POC before entry.
  • Required filter: regime_spy+first30_range_bucket=up+large.
  • 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.
