My A+ Trading Strategy Explained (Works Everyday)...

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

  • A+ BOS-FVG requires clear HH/HL trend, strong full-body HOD/LOD break without big wick, decent-sized post-break FVG, and confirmation.

Entry

  • FVG reaction candle closes/respects zone; enter next open; 1–5m, highest TF with FVG (usually 5m).

Stop

  • Not stated in video.

Target

  • Not stated in video.

Risk filters

  • A+ window 09:30–11:00 (later allowed but not A+); avoid weak breaks/poor FVG size; runners may be held.

Timeframe

  • 1–5m; 09:30–11:00 ET, before 11:30 tolerance.

Exceptions

  • No stop or target rule in card; averaging/runners mentioned.

Playbook summary what this video teaches

Limited data in this video's pack: no stop or target rule is stated.

  • Setup (A+ BOS-FVG): clear HH/HL trend, a strong full-body HOD/LOD break without a big wick, a decent-sized post-break FVG, and confirmation.
  • Entry: FVG reaction candle closes/respects the zone; enter at the next open.
  • Timeframe: 1-5m, highest TF with an FVG (usually 5m).
  • Window: A+ 09:30-11:00 ET (later allowed but not A+, before 11:30 tolerance).
  • Avoid weak breaks and poor FVG size; runners may be held. Stop and target not stated.

Code model notes how the ideas map to code

Limited data in this video's pack: no stop or target rule is stated.

(a) Parameters and suggested defaults

ParameterSuggested defaultSource
break_qualityfull body, no big wickvideo
tfhighest of 1-5m (usually 5m)video
window09:30-11:00 ET (A+)video
min_fvg_sizenot specified in video, needs testing'decent-sized' not quantified
stop / targetnot specified in video, needs testingnot in video

(b) Detection and entry logic

  1. Require HH/HL trend, then a strong full-body HOD/LOD break.
  2. Take the first post-break FVG above a size threshold; enter at next open after a respect candle.
  3. A+ only inside 09:30-11:00.

(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.
