Scan Rule Gates (1–6)

1 — CHoCH on closed 15M candle

Body break of prior counter-trend swing point. Wick alone does not count.

—

2 — Impulse range threshold

Range ≥ 2% of Fib 1 AND ≥ $1,500. Both floors must clear.

—

3 — 1H aligned with CHoCH direction

Hard gate. 1H opposing direction = REJECT. No override.

—

4 — Fib geometry correct

Drawn from impulse start to completion. Levels visible at 0.786, 0.886, 1.0, 1.16.

—

5 — Imbalance in zone (hard gate)

≥50% inside zone OR boundary within 25% of zone width from a Fib level.

—

6 — Zone freshness (≤72h)

Price will reach zone within 72h of impulse completion.
