RVE v3 Retracement Validity Engine

Core Philosophy

RVE v2 only gives signals when ALL of the following align:

Higher-Timeframe Trend Alignment

Trades only in the direction of the HTF trend (default: 4H EMA filter)

No counter-trend noise

Real Retracement Location (Not Extension)

Price must pull back into the EMA20–EMA50 zone

Filters fake “grazes” — requires meaningful interaction with the zone

Controlled Pullback (No Panic Candles)

Uses ATR + candle body + wick analysis

Filters out:

Panic momentum candles

Chaotic liquidity sweeps

Over-extended retracements

Close-Based Confirmation (Execution Discipline)

No signals mid-candle

Entry only after reclaim of EMA levels

⚙️ Entry Modes (Important)
🟢 AGGRESSIVE (Recommended for Retracement Traders)

Triggers on EMA9 reclaim after zone touch

Earlier entries

Best for traders who struggle with late entries

🔵 SAFE
