Signals & Chart Anatomy
AIMS The Hunt (Dot) identifies high-probability trend-continuation triggers by detecting Inside Bars that form precisely within active Grant's AO momentum zones.
Signal Logic & Filtration Hierarchy
1. Inside Bar Qualification
The candidate bar must be completely engulfed within the range of the preceding mother bar:
High[0] <= High[1] and Low[0] >= Low[1].
2. Volatility & Bar Range Gate
To eliminate erratic spikes during economic news releases:
- On M1: Bar range (
High - Low) must be<= InpMaxPipsM1pips. - On >M1: Bar range must be
<= ATR(60) * InpMaxATRRatio.
3. Grant's Zone Momentum Alignment
- Bullish Dot: Evaluated only when Grant's Long Zone is active on the Awesome Oscillator.
- Bearish Dot: Evaluated only when Grant's Short Zone is active.
4. "Look For Better" Pullback Optimization
When InpLookForBetter = true:
- If consecutive inside bars appear during a pullback, the indicator requires each successive bullish inside bar to have a lower high than the previous one. This ensures you enter at a superior pullback discount price.
- For bearish inside bars, it requires a higher low.
5. Multi-Layer Trend Filtration
- Purple MA Filter (
InpFilterPurple): Price must close above the Purple MA (SMMA 34, shift 21) for Bullish signals, or below for Bearish signals. - Gator Filter (
InpFilterGator): Price must close above the Alligator Lips line (SMMA 5, shift 3) for Bullish signals, or below for Bearish signals. - Channel Filter (
InpFilterChannel): Optional envelope filter to confirm breakout expansion.
