Daily Open Shift

The "Daily Open Shift" System (V2.0)
1. The Setup (Indicators & Timeframe)
• Timeframe: 15-Minute Chart (Execution).
• Key Levels: Daily Open (DO) or New York Open (NYO).
• Trend Indicators:
o 24 & 42 EMA Ribbon (Exponential Moving Averages).
o 30-Minute Supertrend.
________________________________________
2. Phase 1: Establish The Bias (The Filter)
This is the V2 upgrade. We do not trade against the day's opening momentum.
1. Mark the Open: Draw a horizontal line at the Daily Open (00:00) or Session Open.
2. The "First 2H" Rule: Observe the price action for the first 2 hours after the open.
o First 2H are Green/Bullish? → You are LONG BIAS only for the rest of the session. (Ignore all sell signals).
o First 2H are Red/Bearish? → You are SHORT BIAS only for the rest of the session. (Ignore all buy signals).

3. Phase 2: The Signal (The Switch)
Wait for the chart to confirm your bias technically.
1. The Switch: Price must cross and close a 15M candle on the correct side of the Daily Open.
o Longs: Price switches from below to above DO.
o Shorts: Price switches from above to below DO.
2. Indicator Confluence:
o EMAs: Must be crossed in your direction (Green for Long, Red for Short).
o 30M Supertrend: Must match your direction.

4. Phase 3: The Entry (The Trigger)
We never chase the breakdown. We wait for the price to come to us.
1. The Pullback: Wait for the price to retrace and touch/wick into the 24/42 EMA Ribbon.
2. The Confirmation: Watch the candle that touches the EMA.
o It must reject the EMA (wick off it) and close respecting the trend.
o Do not enter if the candle closes forcefully through the EMA, breaking structure.
3. Execution: Enter Market Order immediately on that candle close.

5. Phase 4: Risk Management (The Math)
This is the V2 upgrade. We aim for higher profitability.
1. Stop Loss (SL):
o Longs: Placed strictly below the lowest EMA band.
o Shorts: Placed strictly above the highest EMA band.
o Logic: If price crosses the EMA band completely, the trend is dead. Get out.
2. Take Profit (TP):
o FIXED 3R (Reward = 3x Risk).
o Example: If Risk is $100, TP is set to make $300.
o Rule: Do not move the TP. Do not close early. Let the math play out.
