Footprint Cluster Patterns
The robot reads footprint clusters inside the candle, spots volume absorption and enters on the pattern on its own — Weak/Strong · Trend/SemiTrend, with stop and take in ticks.
Breaks down the footprint: bid/ask at each price level, finds the level of maximum volume and where the candle closed. Absorption at the bottom → bullish signal, at the top → bearish — on real flow, not price.
Every signal is a type: Weak/Strong × Trend/SemiTrend, plus higher-probability Complex blocks. You decide which patterns the robot takes.
Test mode runs the strategy over history with simulated slippage and commission: trades, profit in ticks and $, win rate — before you trade live.
Every signal is a pattern type: strength (Strong = aggressor dominates, Weak = counter-aggressor) × character (Trend = close at the candle edge, SemiTrend = closer to the middle). You enable only the types that work on your instrument.
In Complex Pattern mode the robot frames the zone with a block and takes an entry only on complex, high-probability configurations — fewer signals, higher quality.
At each price level inside the candle it takes bid/ask volume, finds the level of maximum volume and splits the candle into thirds.
Max volume in the lower third + close above it + ask excess → the buyer absorbed the selling at the bottom (for a short — mirrored at the top).
The candle gets a type: Weak/Strong · Trend/SemiTrend or a Complex block. Signal — only if that pattern is enabled in the settings.
Bullish + pattern → ▲ BUY, bearish → ▼ SELL. Stop from low/high, take from open in ticks; manages it to close.
Inside the candle — footprint by levels: max volume (indigo cell) in the lower third, close near the top of the body, ask excess. That is absorption of the selling at the bottom → a long signal. Short — mirrored: max volume in the upper third, close near the bottom.
After a drop, a signal candle with a long lower tail = absorption at the bottom: the robot places ▲, entry on close, stop under low, take from open in ticks. Then an upward impulse, and the exit.
A trader sees on the footprint that someone absorbed the sells at the bottom, but catching such candles by hand and keeping discipline 24/7 just doesn't work.
- Picks a set of patterns (Weak/Strong · Trend/SemiTrend) for their instrument
- Enables Test Mode — the robot collects P/L over history with slippage and commission
- Sets stop/take in ticks and Order Type (Market / Limit)
- Switches to live mode — entry on the arrows automatically, the trade is managed to stop/take
Set of patterns, order type, stop/take in ticks, test mode with statistics and reading external signals from files — for your own instrument and style.
