Entry (MTF) - Three phase Reversal pattern

Of course. We can absolutely reframe the explanation to give the strategy a more unique or generalized name, focusing on the concepts rather than the specific mentor.

Here is a revised, in-depth guide for your "Entry(MTF)" indicator, presented as the **"Momentum Shift Entry Model."**

### Entry (MTF) Indicator: A Guide to the Momentum Shift Model

This powerful indicator is designed to automatically detect a high-probability **Momentum Shift Entry Pattern**. The core strategy is to identify moments where the market's direction is likely to make a significant and sustained reversal, often driven by institutional order flow.

The indicator's key advantage is its **Multi-Timeframe (MTF)** functionality. It allows you to find these robust setups on a higher timeframe (like the daily chart) and then projects those signals onto your active, lower timeframe chart (like the 15-minute), providing a clear strategic edge for timing your entries.

## The Core Logic: The Three-Phase Reversal Pattern

This indicator is not based on a simple lagging condition. It looks for a specific three-step sequence of events. This sequence validates a genuine shift in market control from sellers to buyers (or vice-versa), filtering out false moves.

### Step 1: The Liquidity Purge 🎯
First, the indicator identifies recent, significant swing highs and lows on the chart. These price levels are natural magnets for liquidity, as many traders place their stop-loss orders there.
* **A Bullish Setup** begins when the price first dips **below a recent swing low**. This action is often an engineered move to "purge" or "sweep" the sell-side liquidity resting there before a move higher.
* **A Bearish Setup** begins with a price spike **above a recent swing high**, clearing out the buy-side liquidity.

This initial phase is designed to trap traders on the wrong side of the market before the true move begins.

### Step 2: The Market Structure Shift (The Confirmation) 🔄
After the liquidity has been taken, the indicator needs confirmation that a real power shift has occurred. This is confirmed by a **Market Structure Shift (MSS)**.
* After a **bullish purge (of a low)**, an MSS is confirmed when the price aggressively rallies and closes **above a recent swing *high***. This proves that buyers have not only absorbed all the selling but are now strong enough to break previous resistance levels.
* After a **bearish purge (of a high)**, an MSS is confirmed when the price falls and closes **below a recent swing *low***, showing that sellers are now decisively in command.

### Step 3: The Price Imbalance (The Entry Zone) GAP) is created during the same powerful move that caused the Market Structure Shift. A Fair Value Gap, or **price imbalance**, is a three-candle pattern that signifies a very aggressive, one-sided move, leaving a gap in the market that price will often seek to re-fill.

This FVG acts as the signature of institutional activity and becomes a high-probability zone for planning a trade entry.

## How to Use the Indicator in Your Trading

The true strength of this indicator lies in combining the higher-timeframe signal with the immediate context of your trading timeframe.

### Reading the Signals and Visuals
* **`BUY` / `SELL` Labels:** These are your primary signals, generated from the **"Signal Timeframe"** you select (e.g., Daily). A "BUY" label indicates that the complete three-phase bullish pattern has been confirmed on that higher timeframe.
* **Dotted Lines (Liquidity Levels):** The red and green dotted lines on your chart mark the most recent swing high and low on your **current timeframe**. These are the levels to watch for a potential "Liquidity Purge."
* **Colored Boxes (Imbalance Zones):** The green (bullish) and red (bearish) boxes highlight the Fair Value Gaps on your **current timeframe**. These are your potential entry zones.

### A Potential Trading Strategy
1. **Set Your Signal Timeframe:** Choose a higher timeframe that you use to define the overall trend (e.g., 'D' for daily, '4H' for 4-hour).
2. **Wait for an HTF Signal:** Patiently wait for a `BUY` or `SELL` label to appear. This is your cue to begin actively looking for an entry.
3. **Find a Local Entry Zone:** Once a `BUY` signal from the higher timeframe appears, look for the price on your current chart to retrace into a nearby **bullish FVG (green box)**. For a `SELL` signal, look for a pullback into a **bearish FVG (red box)**.
4. **Entry:** Plan your entry as the price tests this imbalance zone.
5. **Stop Loss:** A logical stop loss is critical. For a buy trade, place your stop below the swing low that was formed during the MSS. For a sell trade, place it above the corresponding swing high.
6. **Take Profit:** Aim for a significant liquidity level on a higher timeframe or use a predetermined risk-to-reward ratio (e.g., 1:2, 1:3).

## Customizing the Settings

* **`Signal Timeframe`**: The most critical setting. It determines the timeframe from which the core buy/sell logic originates. A Daily signal will carry more weight than an H1 signal.
* **`Liquidity/MSS Lookback`**: This controls the significance of the swing points the indicator uses.
* **Higher value:** Finds major, long-term swing points, leading to fewer but more powerful signals.
* **Lower value:** Finds minor, short-term swing points, leading to more frequent but potentially less reliable signals.
* **`Show Current TF Fair Value Gaps`**: This toggles the visibility of the imbalance zones (FVG boxes) on your chart. It is highly recommended to keep this enabled to easily spot your entry areas.
