Sniper Open - Complete Signal
Sniper Open — NY Open FVG + Liquidity + Momentum
This indicator detects a specific 3-part confluence at the New York market open (9:30-9:45 ET):
Fair Value Gap (FVG) — a 3-candle imbalance in price
Liquidity Zone alignment — the gap must sit near a validated equal-high/equal-low level (2+ touches within 24 hours)
Momentum confirmation — the confirming candle must close in the signal's direction
Order block alignment — a recent order block in the same direction must exist
All four conditions must align, during the 9:30-9:45 ET window specifically, for a confirmed signal to fire.
Backtested results (3 years of NQ data, train/test validated):
~66-71% win rate on filled trades
~13-16 point average expectancy per filled trade
Signals fire roughly once every 2 trading days
How to use it:
The small faded circles are "watching" markers — an unconfirmed setup possibly forming. Informational only, not a trade signal.
The solid triangle is the confirmed signal. When it appears, place a limit order at the entry price shown (not a market order).
If your limit order isn't filled within 15 minutes, cancel it. This happens on roughly 44% of signals — it's expected, not a malfunction. The strategy's edge comes from letting price return to the level, not chasing it.
Stop and target levels are drawn automatically alongside each signal.
Important disclaimers:
This is backtested historical data, not a live trading track record. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
This is not financial advice. Trade at your own risk and do your own due diligence.
Built and tested specifically for NQ futures at the NY open — performance on other instruments or timeframes is not validated.
No mechanical filter can eliminate all uncertainty — momentum can reverse, targets aren't always reached, and drawdowns happen even in genuinely validated strategies.
Feel free to reach out with questions. Built this as a personal tool first, sharing it because a lot of people asked.
