Bullish reclaim after a bearish H4 break below a reference candle.
No AI qualification submitted
This strategy keeps its course or research provenance. A normal backtest snapshot cannot award the AI-generated label.
How the strategy works
The three-candle pattern looks for a failed bearish breakdown. After a bearish candle trades below a reference low, a bullish candle must reclaim that level; entry waits above the reclaim candle to confirm that buyers remain in control.
Concrete example
A reference low is 2,400. A bearish candle falls to 2,390, then a bullish candle closes back above 2,400 with a high of 2,410. The buy-stop is 2,410, the stop sits below the pattern, and the target equals the amount risked.
Exact algorithm
- Find a bearish candle that breaks the reference low.
- Require the next bullish candle to reclaim the reference low.
- Buy above the reclaim candle high.
- Stop below the pattern and target 1R.
Required data: ohlcv
Where it may work—and where it can fail
Main risks
- Stops can be wide
- Both stop and target may occur inside one coarse bar
- Gold trades nearly around the clock, making session alignment important
- Resampled H4 bars can differ from native platform bars
“Best conditions” is an interpretation of the strategy's mechanism, not an additional course entry rule and not a performance guarantee.

Capital basis is allocated paper equity. Gross notional uses the exposure stored with that exact fill; legacy fills with no recorded exposure are shown as unknown. A new semantic paper generation archives the prior run and restarts the forward clock.
Archived paper versions
Read-only prior runs preserve their executable manifest, balances, and fills. They never contribute to the active clock, cash, or qualification.
