\"Traffic<\/figure>\n\n\n

The Traffic Light strategy on BOLT in the Lemonn app is built for traders who want a simple yet structured way to trade reversals and breakouts<\/strong>. It uses a clean two-candle pattern to identify shifts in market control, then waits for confirmation before triggering a trade. The result is a system that feels intuitive on charts, but still follows strict rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Traffic Light Strategy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Traffic Light strategy is a price action-based breakout system<\/strong> built around a two-candle reversal pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It identifies moments where control shifts between buyers and sellers, then sets up breakout levels based on that shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On BOLT, it provides:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Real-time breakout alerts<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Clear entry levels for both directions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Predefined stop-loss and target<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    How It Works on BOLT<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Once you apply the strategy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • The system scans for valid two-candle patterns<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Marks breakout levels automatically<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Waits for price to break either side<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Triggers a signal when breakout happens<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Only one direction is taken per setup, ensuring clean execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Core Concept: The \u201cTraffic Light\u201d Pattern<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      At the heart of this strategy is a simple idea, a shift in momentum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Pattern<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • A green candle followed by a red candle, or<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • A red candle followed by a green candle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        This pair signals a short-term reversal or pause in trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Breakout Logic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Once a valid pair is formed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • The highest high<\/strong> of the pair becomes the upper breakout level<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • The lowest low<\/strong> becomes the lower breakout level<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Trade Triggers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Break above high \u2192 Buy Call (CE)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Break below low \u2192 Buy Put (PE)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            When one side triggers, the other is automatically cancelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Entry Modes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            For Call (CE) Trades<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            Blocked only if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • RSI is above 70 for 2 candles, AND<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Price closes at or below EMA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              For Put (PE) Trades<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              Blocked only if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • RSI is below 30 for 2 candles, AND<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Price closes at or above EMA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Both conditions must be true to block a trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                This ensures filtering is strict but not overly restrictive<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Moving Average Structure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Uses a 15-period SMA<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Applies an EMA on the SMA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  Trade Structure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Buyer-only strategy<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Trades ATM Call (CE) or Put (PE)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • One direction per setup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    This keeps execution focused and avoids conflicting positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Stop Loss and Target<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                    Dynamic Stop-Loss<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    • Based on the opposite side of the candle pair<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Includes a small buffer (default 0.01 percent)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                      Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \n
                      • CE \u2192 SL below pair low<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • PE \u2192 SL above pair high<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                        Target Logic<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                          \n
                        • Based on the range of the candle pair<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Default risk-reward ratio \u2192 1:1.2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                          Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            \n
                          • CE \u2192 breakout level + range \u00d7 RR<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • PE \u2192 breakout level \u2212 range \u00d7 RR<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                            Smart Execution Control<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                            Mutual Cancellation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                              \n
                            • Both CE and PE setups share a GroupID<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            • When one triggers, the other is cancelled automatically<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                              This ensures only one trade is taken per pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Trade Execution Experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                              On BOLT, the strategy is designed for clarity and control:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                \n
                              • Breakout levels are clearly defined<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                              • Signals appear in real time<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                              • Entry, SL, and target are structured<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                                Risk Management Framework<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                The strategy controls risk through structure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  \n
                                • Stop-loss based on price levels<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                • Fixed risk-reward ratio<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                • No overlapping trades from the same setup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                  This helps maintain discipline even in fast markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
