How it works
The push and the flush
A high-momentum trend bar drives, and the next bar takes out its extreme, pulling breakout and momentum traders into the move.
The verified refusal
That same bar must close back through the push bar's midpoint. A doji or a drifting pause does not qualify: the market has to actually reject the move, which is what makes the trap real.
The snap entry
The following bar takes the flush bar's opposite extreme, forcing the trapped side out. Entry is the classic stop-order price that bar just crossed, gated by session, hourly trend, and the score floor in Settings.

Using it, after you install
Read this once before your first trade with it. It takes two minutes and answers the questions the chart itself cannot.
Put it on the timeframe it was built for
Each tool is tuned to one timeframe and the score means nothing on another. The right one is named on this page. Running a scalp engine on the 1-hour will not make it more selective, it will make it wrong.
Read the status line first
The dashboard's bottom row says which of three states it is in: in a trade, watching, or outside the trading sessions. A quiet chart is almost always the filter doing its job, not a broken install. Signals fire only inside the session windows and only when the score clears the threshold.
One trade is drawn at a time
When a setup fires you get the entry, the stop and three targets, and they stay until the next signal replaces them, so the chart always shows the trade you are in and nothing else. Past trades leave small permanent marks rather than full ladders, which is what keeps a week of history readable.
The score is a description, not a probability
It counts how many of the tool's conditions lined up on that bar. A 100% setup had every box ticked; it is not a 100% chance of winning. Use it to compare setups against each other, never as odds.
Take the trade in parts, then protect it
Every signal ships with three targets because it is meant to be scaled out of: 50% at TP1, 30% at TP2, 20% at TP3. Once the first target is reached, move the stop to your entry. From that point the trade cannot lose, and what remains is upside.
Every layer has a switch
Each tool draws only what it actually reads. Some layers ship on because they are the tool's own subject, like the trend ribbon or the trend-bar stripes; the rest live in Settings, off by default. The chart key names what you are looking at, and everything can be toggled. Turn extras on one at a time, not all at once.
The dashboard numbers are from YOUR chart
They are computed from the history loaded in front of you, on your broker's data, and they move when you change symbol or timeframe. They are not our published record. That one is at dailytrading.tips/wins, and it is the only figure we stand behind.
Set one alert and put your phone in the loop
Create a single TradingView alert on the indicator with the condition Any alert() function call and app notification on. Every entry, every target hit and every stop-out then reaches you as a notification, so the tool works without you watching the chart.
The striped bars are the raw material
Every trend bar is tinted, amber up and magenta down. The tool waits for one to drive, for the next bar to take out its extreme and then close back through its midpoint, and for the following bar to snap the other way. That sequence is the trap: the traders who chased the push are offside, and their exit is the trade. The clamp grips those two candles while the trade is live.
One trade at a time, scored out loud
A setup that appears while a trade is already open is skipped, so the chart and the statistics always describe one position. Every signal carries a 40-100 score built from named components: prime session, EMA50 alignment, volume expansion, deep flush, wide push. Raise the floor in Settings for fewer, stricter signals; lower it for more.
