Your TradingView Layout Setup is now ready ✅ — it's built to support scalping futures using ORB, VWAP, and liquidity zone strategies. You can find it in the document titled “Tradingview Layout Setup” on the side panel.
3. Scalping Playbook (Start with These)
| Strategy Name | Setup Condition | Stop / Target |
|---|---|---|
| Opening Range Breakout | Break of 1st 15-min high/low with volume spike | 3–4 ticks SL / 6–8 ticks TP |
| VWAP Bounce | Price tests VWAP with rejection wick + volume | 2–3 ticks SL / 4–6 ticks TP |
| Liquidity Sweep Reversal | Wick above high + engulfing candle down | Recent wick high / Mid-range |
| Micro Order Block Reversal | Small consolidation breakout trap + reversal entry | Candle body stop / OB target |
Strategy vs. Pullback Usage
| Strategy | Uses Pullback? | Entry Point |
|---|---|---|
| VWAP Bounce | ✅ Yes | On rejection from VWAP after pullback |
| Micro OB Reversal | ✅ Yes | After pullback into OB or structure block |
| Liquidity Sweep | 🚫 Not really | More about failed breakout traps |
| ORB | 🚫 Rarely | More about breakouts, not pullbacks |
