### ? The "Cheat Code" (How to Trade)

The indicator looks for a **False Breakout** followed by a **Reversal**.

#### ? FOR A BUY SETUP (Long)

1. **Trend:** Ideally, the Dashboard says **BULLISH** (Green text).

2. **The Trap:** Price drops **below** the Asian Box (into the Lime "Kill Zone").

3. **The Turn:** Look for an **Orange Diamond** (Judas Buy) or **Gold Triangle** (Defend).

4. **The Trigger:** Wait for the **BLUE ARROW**.

* *Logic:* This appears when price breaks back **ABOVE the Daily Open**.

#### ? FOR A SELL SETUP (Short)

1. **Trend:** Ideally, the Dashboard says **BEARISH** (Red text).

2. **The Trap:** Price rallies **above** the Asian Box (into the Red "Kill Zone").

3. **The Turn:** Look for an **Orange Diamond** (Judas Sell) or **Gold Triangle** (Defend).

4. **The Trigger:** Wait for the **RED ARROW**.

* *Logic:* This appears when price breaks back **BELOW the Daily Open**.

### ⚙️ Key Settings to Watch

* **`InpTrendFilter` (True/False):**

* *True (Safer):* Only shows Buy arrows if the daily trend is Bullish, and Sells if Bearish.

* *False (Aggressive):* Shows all reversal signals regardless of the daily trend.

* **`InpKillZonePips`:**

* Default is 30. This creates the Red/Green trap zones. The indicator **automatically scales** this for Bitcoin/Gold (v1.26 feature), so you don't need to change it for crypto. *

**`InpMaxAsianBreakBars`:**

* Default is 60 bars. It stops looking for signals 1 hour (on M1) after the Asian session ends. Increase this if you want to trade later in the London session.

### ? Pro Tip

The strongest signal is the **"Judas Reclaim."**

* Price goes into the Kill Zone → **Diamond** appears → Price smashes back across the **Daily Open (Magenta Line)** → **Entry Arrow** appears.

*Stop Loss placement recommendations (standard practice): Just above/below the recent swing high/low formed in the Kill Zone.*
