🔍 What Makes This Strategy Powerful?
This is not just a technical setup — it's a hybrid approach that filters out noise and fake breakouts by focusing on:
✅ Smart money behavior (through OI shifts)
✅ Clear market structure (price action-based breakouts/rejections)
✅ Momentum confirmation (ADX filter)
✅ Risk-managed entries and exits
