How To Find Daily Bias (Top Down Analysis)

Code base used · SMT All-in-One + Roman Essentials v0.1

Target stack for Nitro CRT. Versions per /workspace/smt-python/VERSION_LOG.md.

Code base: SMT_AllinOne + Roman v0.1: Python power-test surface pinned 2026-09-25; smt_strategy/allinone/, CLI smt_strategy/run_smt_allinone_roman.py.
Order manager: Roman Essentials Host v0.1 (pinned 2026-09-24). Param bag essentials_params_full.json, version 2026-09-25: 294 params across 11 categories and 37 groups.
Entry plugin: Nitro CRT plugin v1 (nitro_crt_v1, 2026-09-24) is entry-only: it sends entry signals, and Roman Essentials/ZZ manages the trades (size, stops, TP ladder, session, max trades, trailing).
Ninja (reference): Full SMT Strategy V3 (AllinOneStrategy) on PC2.

Honesty line: today's Nitro CRT backtest (run_nitro_crt_a_rebreak_bt.py, 10 stocks, clean data: −$86,953, PF 0.90, 370 trades) used a simplified Roman-style order-management stand-in (one stop, one target, 0.5% risk, max 2/day), not the full stack. It has not yet been run through the full All-in-One + Roman order manager. Source: smt-python/results/nitro_crt_weekly_clean_2026-10-01/compare_summary.json (STOCKS_COMBINED).

Summary bullets 7

(en-orig deep-card captions; timestamps are video mm:ss; “not stated” is retained where the card gives no rule.)

Main logic

Top-down 1–4H pivots/liquidity and CRT sweep/rejection set bias; enter BOS→FVG in the HTF direction.

Entry

1m BOS plus FVG and retest in HTF-bias direction.

Stop

Trail above each latest pullback high; exact initial stop is not stated.

Target

Next 1H liquidity/pivot high or low.

Risk filters

Start HTF every morning; reject LTF BOS into opposing HTF level; scaling out is advanced.

Timeframe

HTF 1–4H (mostly 1H), LTF 1–5m. Session not specified.

Exceptions

CRT is an illustration/bias tell, not a detailed entry; management includes scaling out or one entry/exit.

Playbook summary what this video teaches

Limited data in this video's pack: no initial stop and no session are stated; CRT appears only as a bias tell, not an entry.

Purpose: daily bias via top-down analysis. 1-4H (mostly 1H) pivots/liquidity and CRT sweep/rejection set the bias.
Entry: 1m BOS plus FVG and retest in the HTF-bias direction.
Filter: start with HTF every morning; reject an LTF BOS that runs into an opposing HTF level.
Stop: trail above each latest pullback high; initial stop not stated.
Target: next 1H liquidity / pivot high or low. Scaling out is described as advanced.

Code model notes how the ideas map to code

Limited data in this video's pack: no initial stop and no session are stated; CRT appears only as a bias tell, not an entry.

(a) Parameters and suggested defaults

Parameter	Suggested default	Source
`htf`	1-4H (mostly 1H)	video (current code: 15m EMA bias)
`ltf`	1-5m	video
`entry`	BOS + FVG retest with HTF bias	video
`target`	next 1H liquidity / pivot	video
`initial_stop`	not specified in video, needs testing	not in video
`session`	not specified in video, needs testing	not in video

(b) Detection and entry logic

Bias: HTF pivot or CRT sweep followed by rejection sets direction.
LTF: BOS in bias direction, then FVG retest entry; skip if the BOS runs into an opposing HTF level.
Trail behind pullback highs/lows; target next 1H liquidity.

(c) Already coded in our Nitro CRT implementation

The Nitro CRT runner and plugin contain no BOS / FVG / opening-range logic.
Reusable primitives exist elsewhere but are NOT wired to Nitro: smt_strategy/ict/fvg.py::detect_fvgs, ict/fvg_entries.py::generate_fvg_entry_signals, ict/bos.py::detect_bos, allinone_v4/levels.py::detect_levels.
Plugin nitro_crt_v1: python/signal_contract.py::build_signal only formats an entry signal (trigger_price, stop_hint, target_hint); ninja/NitroCRT_Entry_v1.cs is a stub (EmitOnly=true, session + RequireHtfBias knobs, no C1/C2 detector). Roman Essentials/ZZ is the order manager.

(d) Still to build (from outcome.json)

Feature	Note	vs current code	Status
`break_then_gap`	BOS precedes FVG.	not in Nitro code (FVG/BOS primitives in smt_strategy/ict/ are not wired)	not yet coded
`fvg_retest_confirmation`	FVG retest entry.	not in Nitro code (FVG/BOS primitives in smt_strategy/ict/ are not wired)	not yet coded
`bias_1h_pivot_sweep`	HTF sweep/rejection bias.	not covered: code bias is 15m EMA20/50	not yet coded
`fvg_target_1h_or_fixed_rr`	Next HTF liquidity.	not in Nitro code (FVG/BOS primitives in smt_strategy/ict/ are not wired)	not yet coded
`stop_management_trail`	Trail behind pullback highs.	not covered: no trail in runner	not yet coded
`fvg_scale_out`	Advanced scale-out path.	not in Nitro code (FVG/BOS primitives in smt_strategy/ict/ are not wired)	not yet coded

Code checked: /workspace/nitro-setups/backtests/run_nitro_crt_a_rebreak_bt.py, /workspace/smt-python/entry_plugins/nitro_crt_v1/ (read only), backtests/sweep_2026-09-29/sweep_core.py. Statuses unchanged from outcome.json.
