The "Story of the Market" Automated
This is not just another signal indicator. Jake's Candle by Candle Upgraded is a complete institutional trading framework designed for high-precision scalping on the 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes.
Built strictly on the principles of Al Brooks Price Action and Smart Money Concepts (SMC), this tool automates the rigorous "Candle-by-Candle" analysis used by professional floor traders. It moves beyond simple pattern recognition to read the "Story" of the market—Context, Setup, and Pressure—before ever allowing a trade.
The Philosophy: Why This Tool Was Built
Most retail traders fail for two reasons:
Getting Trapped: They enter on the first sign of a reversal (H1/L1), which is often an institutional trap.
Trading Chop: They bleed capital during low-volume, sideways markets.
This tool solves both problems with an Algorithmic Discipline Engine. It does not guess. It waits for the specific "Second Leg" criteria used by institutions and physically disables itself during dangerous market conditions.
Key Features
1. The Context Dashboard (HUD)
A professional Heads-Up Display in the top-right corner keeps you focused on the macro picture while you scalp.
FLOW: Monitors the 20-period Institutional EMA. (Green = Bull Flow, Red = Bear Flow). You are prevented from trading against the dominant trend.
STATE: A built-in "Volatility Compressor." If it says "⚠️ CHOP / RANGE", the algorithm is disabled. It protects you from overtrading during lunch hours or low-volume zones.
SETUP: Live tracking of the Al Brooks leg count. It tells you exactly when the algorithm is "Waiting for Pullback" or "Searching for Entry."
2. Smart "Trap Avoidance" Logic (H2/L2)
This tool uses the "Gold Standard" of scalping setups: The High 2 (H2) and Low 2 (L2).
It ignores the first breakout attempt (Leg 1), acknowledging it as a potential trap.
It waits for the pullback and only signals on the Second Leg, statistically increasing the probability of a successful trend resumption.
3. Volatility-Adaptive Risk Management
Stop calculating pips in your head. The moment a signal is valid, the tool draws your business plan on the chart:
Stop Loss (Red Line): Automatically placed behind the "Signal Bar" (the candle that created the setup) based on strict price action rules.
Take Profit (Green Line): Automatically projected at a 1.5 Risk-to-Reward Ratio.
Smart Adaptation: The targets expand and contract based on real-time market volatility. If the market is quiet, targets are tighter. If explosive, targets are wider.
4. The "Snap Entry" Signal
The BUY and SELL badges are not lagging. They are programmed with "Stop Entry" logic—appearing the exact moment price breaks the structure of the Signal Bar, ensuring you enter on momentum, not hope.
How to Trade Strategy
Check the HUD: Ensure FLOW matches your direction and STATE says "✅ VOLATILE".
Wait for the Badge: Do not front-run the tool. Wait for the BUY or SELL badge to print.
Set Your Orders: Once the signal candle closes:
Place your Stop Loss at the Red Line.
Place your Take Profit at the Green Line.
Walk Away: The trade is now a probability event. Let the math play out.
