Levels, VWAP and volume profile

Supply and demand zones

1H zones, 5m entries

The rules, in plain English. Ask Wicky “Is my setup here?” and it checks each one on your chart, says what’s still missing, and draws your levels.

The rules

Zone: a small base of candles followed by a strong impulse away from it, on the 1H. Demand if the impulse went up, supply if it went down.
Fresh only: price hasn't returned to the zone since the impulse.
Trigger: on the first return into the zone, a 5m rejection (long wick or engulfing candle) in the zone's direction.
Entry: the close of the rejection candle.
Stop: beyond the far edge of the zone.
Target: the nearest opposing zone. At least 2R.
On the chart: the zone drawn as a box, or enough history to see the base and the impulse.

How Wicky checks it

Hold ⌃⌥ over your chart and ask. Wicky reads the chart on your screen, on any platform, and checks every rule above, starting with “Zone: a small base of candles followed by a strong impulse away from it, on the 1H. Demand if the impulse went up, supply if it went down”. Then it answers out loud: not yet, and what you’re still waiting for, or your entry, stop and target with the risk-to-reward, drawn on your chart and locked to it as you scroll.

Trade it a little differently? Change any rule, or write your own in plain English. Wicky checks your version, not a textbook’s.

Wicky checks your own rules. It doesn’t tell you to buy or sell, doesn’t predict price and never places trades. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. ICT and Smart Money Concepts are named to describe setups; Wicky isn’t affiliated with their authors.
