BPA 47 Setup Playbook & Blueprints Guide
Translating subjective Price Action theory into 47 mathematically rigorous setups with vector SVG triggers, stops, and targets.
1. Price Action Core Philosophy & Algorithmic Modeling
Price Action (PA) studies the interaction of institutional buying and selling pressure directly through candlestick geometry without lag-inducing indicators. MarketSightAI formalizes Al Brooks’ foundational principles into code:
Measures body-to-range ratio (Body %), close percentile (top 20% / bottom 20%), tail overlaps, and follow-through persistence.
Continuously classifies the market into Breakout, Channel, or Trading Range regimes.
2. Four Canonical Setup Categories
Breakouts & Continuations
Features strong consecutive trend bars closing near extremes, breaking out of prior congestion with urgency. E.g. Spike & Channel, Breakout Pullback, Consecutive Trend Bars.
Reversals & Counter-Trend
Exhaustion at key liquidity levels. E.g. Wedge Reversal (pa-wedge-reversal), Double Bottom/Top, Major Trend Reversal (MTR), Final Flag Reversal.
Channels & Two-Legged Pullbacks
Price oscillates within boundaries along the 20EMA institutional benchmark. E.g. Tight Channel, Broad Channel, Two-Legged Pullback to 20EMA.
Ranges & Traps
Severe bar overlap with low directional conviction. E.g. Tight Trading Range (TTR), Barbed Wire Breakout, Double Trap, Failed Breakout.
