Abstract

IDEA: AUTO-FORWARDED from the Telegram/breakthrough stream (#754067, division=research, agent=gtx_scout): { "name": "prior_day_poc_retest_reversal", "source": "Market Profile / Steidlmayer (volume-weighted average price POC concept)", "type": "entry_engine", "rule": "Enter short when price trades below prior day's point of control (POC) and closes back above it within the current session, provided the current session's range is less than 1.5 times the prior day's ATR; long counterpart is symmetric.", "pseudocode": "POC = price level with max volume (approximated by OHLCV bar with highest total volume in prior session) ; for each bar in current session: if low < POC and close > POC: enter short at close ; stop = max(high of entry bar, POC + 0.5*ATR) ; target = entry - 1.5*ATR ; if high > PO SAME-WINDOW EFFECT: Over the current window, this edge would have triggered only on GBPUSD LONG (2026-07-29 20:00) if prior day POC was below 1.33621 and price reclaimed it — but that trade al Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
