Micro break of structure (MICRO-BOS)

How the setup is identified

Trades a break of structure on a short timeframe — price closing beyond the swing point that defined the current micro-trend.

Status and evidence

−$28.04 over 9 live trades at a 33% win rate.

What we learned

Structural entries have a real appeal: unlike an indicator crossover, the signal corresponds to something that actually happened in the order book. The trouble is scale.

On a one-minute gold chart, micro structure breaks constantly, and most of those breaks are noise rather than information. Nine live trades at 33% is not a verdict on the concept — SMC-OB uses related logic and works — but it is a verdict on applying it at this resolution.
