Eight 8th Wonder of the World

How the 8th Wonder Scalper Works — Quick Brief

Instrument & timeframe: Built specifically for XAUUSD on the M1 chart, with M5/M15 used only as confirmation layers — not for entries.

Three independent entry engines run in parallel:

1. Main Pattern Engine (every new M1 bar)
Scans the closed candle for five classic price-action patterns — engulfing, morning/evening star, hammer, inverted hammer, and doji — each scored for quality (body size, shadow ratio, prior trend context). If no pattern fires, it falls back to a Stochastic overbought/oversold signal. Before any trade fires, the candidate must clear a stack of filters: rollover/extreme-move filter, trend-momentum filter, prior-momentum filter, terminal-momentum filter (engulfing only), and signal-candle-quality filter — each designed to block entries against exhausted or still-accelerating moves. It also checks market regime (trending/ranging/volatile/thin) and only trades in the direction the regime allows, and requires the entry be near a real support/resistance level on both M1 and H1. A weighted confluence score (pattern quality + structure + multi-timeframe EMA alignment + RSI divergence + volume spike) must clear a threshold before the trade is placed.

2. Sniper Eagle (specific "kill hours" only)
During low-liquidity hours (02:00, 03:00, 05:00, 06:00, 10:00–13:00), it looks for a fast directional burst relative to ATR combined with the price sitting in the wrong half of a 20-bar range — a fade-style entry. Tighter TP (small ATR multiple), one position max for this engine.

3. Momentum Burst (M5, on new bar close)
Detects a sharp net move over 5 M5 bars relative to ATR, confirms the most recent bar is still pushing in that direction (not exhausted), and fires a trend-following entry.

Risk & exit management:

• Lot sizing: % of account balance, not fixed lots.
• Stop loss: % of balance converted to a price distance — not a fixed pip stop.
• Take profit: fixed point distance from entry.
• Profit Snatcher: continuously monitors all open positions and force-closes early once net profit (after commission/swap) hits a % of balance — this is the "harvest" mechanism that locks gains before TP is reached.
• Session goal: once a session's P&L hits your target %, no new entries until the next session window opens.
• Guardrails throughout: session windows, blackout zones around major opens, spike/rapid-move filters, max concurrent positions, and full margin/volume/stops-level validation before every order.
