AM / Lunch / PM windows
0930-1159 · 1200-1329 · 1330-1615PM is an input because the 4:14 vs 4:15 close is still unresolved in the rulebook.

LQG + Execution Filter Panel
Reports liquidity in inventory, the fractal hunt state on the 1-minute, the blackout window, ghost candles and signature size — per session, and says so when a check cannot be evaluated.
What it draws
- A panel with one row per filter: session, blackout, ghost candle, liquidity in inventory, fractal hunt, last three-candle range, and the combined rules check.
- The blackout window shaded on the chart, and a cross under any ghost candle.
- A dashed line at the level a fractal hunt ran, so the hunt in inventory is a place on the chart rather than a claim in a box.
What it needs to be correct
Chart, symbol and session. A tool that is right on one chart and wrong on another, silently, is the thing this table exists to prevent.
- Chart timeframe
- At or below the hunt timeframe — 1 minute by default. A higher chart receives only the last 1-minute candle inside each of its bars, so most of the hunt is invisible to it. The panel reports the hunt as 'cannot check' in that case and the verdict says so; it never reports an unevaluated filter as clear.
- Symbol
- NQ / MNQ. The ghost-candle threshold, the signature minimum and the hunt proximity are all in points.
- Session
- AM, lunch and PM are tracked separately (R-7.9). Outside them the panel reads OUT OF SESSION and holds no inventory.
- Repaint
- Nothing is drawn or alerted from a candle that is still forming. Every reading below is decided at a close. Grabs are decided on closed 5-minute candles, hunts on closed 1-minute candles, the blackout on the clock.
Inputs
Where the One42 framework records a question as unresolved, the tool exposes an input instead of choosing quietly. The note says which number is James's and which is yours.
Ghost candle body threshold
1.0 pointR-10.16: strictly less than 1.0 point of body. James checks one at exactly 1.00 on camera and rules it out.
Minimum signature range
10.0 pointsR-8.7, applied to the hunt signature too (R-10.2).
Blackout window
:55 to :10R-10.19 / R-10.20: every hour, all day.
Level timeframe / Grab timeframe
30 / 5 minutesR-7.27: a five-minute bodily closure through a rejection block.
Hunt timeframe
1 minuteR-10.4: the 1-minute and 30-second are interchangeable.
Minimum run beyond the signature extreme
1.0 pointG-7: James measures 'at least one point' twice on camera and NEVER states it as a rule. This is what he measured, not a rule he gave — set 0 to accept any run.
Hunt stays in inventory within / dead beyond
50 / 110 pointsR-10.7: 'we want it closer, within 50 points'; 'well over 110 points away' is not an entry. Between the two the panel calls the hunt stale, not clear.
Lunch is exempt from the hunt
OnR-10.11, observed across two independent recordings.
What invalidates a reading
The conditions under which the tool says nothing, or takes a level away. Knowing these is most of knowing how to read it.
- A grab candle that OPENS at the level does not count — it must open cleanly on the far side (R-7.28). The grab is the next candle that opens correctly.
- A hunt signature borrowing candles from the previous session 'disguises itself as a hunt' and is rejected (R-10.9). Every candle it is built from must open after the session did.
- A hunt whose level is further than the dead threshold is dropped, not shown as stale forever (R-10.7).
- A hunt on the wrong side of the bias the grab set is inventory for a trade you are not taking (R-10.3), and does not satisfy the requirement.
- Nothing carries across a session boundary — not the rejection blocks, not the grab, not the hunt (R-7.9 / R-10.8).
What each alert means
- Blackout started / ended
- The clock crossed :55 or :10. No new trades are initiated inside it (R-10.19).
- Buy-side / Sell-side liquidity grabbed
- A closed 5-minute candle opened one side of a rejection block and closed its body through it. Bias flips to the opposite side (R-7.31).
- Sell-side / Buy-side fractal hunt registered
- A one-for-two on the hunt timeframe had its extreme run by at least the run threshold. That side's hunt is now in inventory (R-10.1 / R-10.2).
- No rule blocking
- Every filter the panel can evaluate passes. This is the absence of a veto, not a trade signal — the panel's own row says so.
A PM session where the rules say stand down
One worked example, start to finish.
- 113:30. The session flips to PM and everything resets: rejection blocks, grab state, hunt (R-10.8 demands a fresh hunt from candles that open after 13:30).
- 214:05. A 5-minute candle opens below the PM rejection block high and closes its body above it. Buy-side liquidity is taken, bias goes bearish, and the row reads 'Bearish'.
- 3The fractal hunt row still reads 'none'. No bearish one-for-two of 10 points or more has had its high run since 13:30, so R-10.1 is not satisfied and the verdict reads STAND DOWN · no fractal hunt in inventory — even though the grab everyone watches for has happened.
- 414:22. A bearish 1-minute signature measuring 11 points prints; four minutes later a candle trades 1.5 points above its high. The hunt registers, the dashed level is drawn, and the row reads 'sell-side · 6.25 pt away'.
- 5The verdict changes to NO RULE BLOCKING — until 14:55, when the blackout window opens and it returns to STAND DOWN.
What this tool does not decide for you
Stated rather than left to be discovered, because a filter you thought was included and is not is the most expensive kind of surprise.
- The 1-point run (G-7) is the clearest example of the rule this whole suite follows: it is demonstrated on camera twice and never stated. It is an input, and this page tells you it is not a rule.
- G-7 also leaves open whether a hunt needs a body close or a wick suffices, how long a hunt stays in inventory in TIME rather than distance, and whether one hunt can license more than one entry. The panel uses distance (R-10.7) because distance is what James gives numbers for.
- G-8 leaves open whether the blackout is judged on the entry clock or the signal candle's open. The panel judges the clock, matching the graphic's wording that no new trades may be INITIATED in the window.
