SFP pattern mql5

A Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) is a trade setup in which big traders hunt stop-losses above a key swing high or below a key swing low for the purpose of generating the liquidity needed to push price in the opposite direction.

When price 1) pierces above a key swing high but then 2) closes back below that swing high, we have a potential bearish SFP. Bearish SFPs offer opportunities for short trades. When price 1) dumps below a key swing low but then 2) closes back above that swing low, we have a potential bullish SFP. Bullish SFPs offer opportunities for long trades.
