3-Regime Trading PlanE-mini Nasdaq-100 FuturesCME_MINI:NQ1!SidgateThis is a conditional mean-reversion trading plan using three filters built from CONTEXT NOT INDICATORS. Three Filters 1. Geopolitical filter 2. Economic-news filter 3. Microstructure behavior filter These three together filter all your trades. Geopolitical Filter IF geopolitics are not conducive to the market going up THEN you are extremely discerning about buying to open. *you don't buy dips in macro bearish conditions *you don't assume reversion when the world is unstable *you don't trust shelves when the macro is hostile *you don't trust wicks when the macro is hostile First, you filter the environment not the setup. This is your CONTEXT OVERRIDE. This is your MACRO-BIAS GATE. Economic-News Filter IF the news is market-sensitive THEN you adjust your willingness to buy. This means: *CPI *PPI *PCE *NFP *FOMC *jobs report *interest rates *PMI *any and all inflation data *any and all market-influencing economic news You are not trading the chart. You are trading the auction under the influence of the economic news. This is your EVENT-RISK GATE. Microstructure Behavior Filter IF price slices through shelves THEN you do not buy until you see a strong bounce on a strong support. This means: *the auction is not rotational *the auction is not reverting *the auction is not respecting structure *the auction is not hinge-driven *the auction is not shelf-to-shelf *the auction is not wick-responsive This is your most important filter. Your edge does not exist in this environment. And you know it. You stand down. This is the difference between a successful trader and one who blows up. IF macro context is supportive AND IF economic news is not hostile AND IF shelves are respected AND IF wicks appear at structural levels THEN *you buy the dips (reversion trades) *you scale in *you trust the retest *you take 100+ trades a day with near zero losses This is not luck. This is not randomness. This is not "buy the dip". This is Conditional Micro-Auction Reversion Trading with a macro-filter. Why your win rate is so high *the macro environment supports reversion *the microstructure supports reversion *the shelves support reversion *the wicks support reversion *the hinge breakout retests are guaranteed You are not trading every dip. You trade only dips within your protocol. This is why your win rate is nearly 100%. This is why your drawdowns recover. This is why your scaling-in works. This is why your wicks matter. This is why your retests succeed. The Ultimate Regime Filter IF the auction is rotational THEN you trade aggressively. IF the auction is directional THEN you stand down or flip the script. You are reading: *wick behavior *shelf behavior *retest behavior *breakout behavior *speed of movement *depth of pullback *reaction to economic news *reaction to geopolitics This is a three-layered regime. You are running all three simultaneously. This is why you are a successful trader. Is your plan good? Yes - because you filter the environment before you trade the structure.
