Entry Parameters

• Timeframe: M15 and higher (H1, H4, daily)

Long Entry Signals (Buy)

To open a long position, wait for all of the following conditions:

1. The sloping channel is oriented upward.
2. The ichi360 indicator (right-side panel) confirms an uptrend.
3. The Buyers vs Sellers indicator displays a green bar.
4. On the SDO-71_DotSight indicator, the green line crosses the red line from below upward.
5. Place stop-loss below the most recent local swing low.

Short Entry Signals (Sell)

To open a short position, confirm all of the following:

1. The sloping channel is oriented downward.
2. The ichi360 indicator confirms a downtrend.
3. The Buyers vs Sellers indicator displays a red bar.
4. On the SDO-71_DotSight indicator, the green line crosses the red line from above downward.
5. Place stop-loss above the most recent local swing high.

You may set stop-loss at the prior swing extreme or the nearest support/resistance level. Close profitable trades when the opposite signal appears.

The Buyers and Sellers Strategy is a classic trend-following approach — entering on price bounces off the trend channel line. Its strength lies in layered confirmation filters, helping eliminate many false or low-probability setups. The rules are simple, transparent, and accessible to beginners.
