Rules to keep

  1. Bullish: SSL sweep → down-close candidate → decisive confirming bullish close through it.
  2. Bearish: BSL sweep → up-close candidate → decisive confirming bearish close through it.
  3. Mark the candidate candle’s open as the main reference. The whole candle range may remain visible for context.
  4. The candidate stays provisional until confirmation. Evaluate the retracement, momentum and broader order flow.
  5. Define invalidation using the relevant block/swept extreme; reject cleanly violated or weak, wicky candidates.

From the study library

L08, approximately 3:00–12:30; handwritten PDF p. 14. The handwritten colour mnemonic is incomplete; the lesson supplies the qualification and open-level emphasis. Do not invent a more exact open-versus-wick confirming-close threshold than the source establishes.
