A public playbook for the MNQ Wyckoff spring-style reclaim with first-30-minute structure confirmation.
74 trades / 67.6% win / 2.44 profit factor / +28.21 avg pts.
What This Setup Is
A Wyckoff-style spring setup that waits for a liquidity probe, reclaim, and demand response after the first 30 minutes set the context.
Why It Fires
A spring attempts to trap sellers below a visible level. If price snaps back and demand follows through, the failed breakdown can become fuel for the next rotation higher.
Exact Trigger Checklist
- Chart: MNQ 1-minute bars after the first 30 minutes are known.
- Mark the spring level from visible support or range structure.
- Require first30 close location: down+near_high.
- Go long only after the spring level is reclaimed.
- Confirm that follow-through volume/pace supports the reclaim.
Good Conditions
- The spring is obvious enough that sellers likely used the level.
- Reclaim happens quickly and holds on retest.
- The first 30-minute structure closes near high despite a down regime input.
- The next target zone has enough room for the tested R model.
Avoid Conditions
- The reclaim is slow and repeatedly loses the level.
- Volume expands lower after the spring instead of rejecting.
- The market is under fresh headline stress.
- The target is blocked by a nearby higher-timeframe supply shelf.
