Pullback Sniper Method
The breakout isn't the entry. The pullback that holds is.
Chasing the breakout is how you get wicked out. This waits for the pullback to hold, then confirms before it commits.
Free & open-source · Works on any market and timeframe · Signals confirmed on bar close · A structured pullback-analysis and review tool — not a signal service, not financial advice, and no performance guarantee.
An open-source pullback-continuation framework: EMA trend context arms a fresh breakout, the engine waits for price to pull back to the pullback EMA, then confirms in Fast / Balanced / Strict mode with optional McGinley + RSI filters — firing a STRONG signal with a 0–100 quality tooltip and a full ATR Entry / TP1 / TP2 / TP3 / SL projection, with historical trade boxes, a distribution stats table and a live dashboard.
Every trend trader knows the pain of the breakout candle. Price clears the high, you jump in, and the very next bar snaps back and stops you out — the move was real, but your entry was the worst possible price. Breakouts mark intent; they're rarely the place to enter. The high-probability entry is the pullback that holds after the breakout, and judging that by eye is exactly where discretion falls apart.
Pullback Sniper Method turns that judgement into a sequence. A trend engine (fast EMA vs slow EMA plus a slope check) decides direction; a breakout beyond recent structure with enough body arms a setup; then the engine waits for price to pull back to your pullback EMA without invalidating. Only when a confirmation candle fires — Fast, Balanced or Strict, with optional McGinley-distance and RSI filters and a cooldown — does it print a STRONG signal and project a complete ATR-based Entry, stop and TP1 / TP2 / TP3 ladder. Each setup carries a 0–100 quality score in its tooltip so you can see how clean it was.
Closed projections stay on the chart as historical trade boxes, a stats table tracks how many reached TP1 / TP2 / TP3 vs SL, and a live dashboard reads trend, status, best direction and the last signal at a glance. Six visual themes restyle everything. It's a structured pullback-review framework — open-source and free, read every rule — not a signal service or a promise of results.

- Tune strictness with Fast / Balanced / Strict confirmation modes
- Filter further with optional McGinley-distance and RSI direction checks

Trend traders who buy the pullback after a breakout — not the breakout candle itself
8 components, one output
EMA trend engine
Fast vs slow EMA plus a slope check defines bullish or bearish context, so pullbacks are only hunted in the direction of the trend.
Breakout + pullback setup
A close beyond recent structure with enough body arms a setup; the engine then waits a configurable window for price to pull back to the pullback EMA without invalidating.
Fast / Balanced / Strict confirm
Three confirmation modes scale strictness from an early close-back trigger to a decisive break-and-body close — fewer, cleaner signals as you tighten.
McGinley + RSI filters
Optional McGinley-distance and RSI-direction filters plus a cooldown reduce signals in compressed zones and stop labels from clustering.
0–100 quality tooltip
Each STRONG label carries a score and star rating built from trend, body/ATR, EMA distance and wick — informational context that never changes the signal.
ATR Entry / TP1 / TP2 / TP3 / SL
Projects an ATR stop and a 25% / 50% / 100% take-profit ladder to your TP3 reward R, tracking the highest TP reached before any stop.
Historical trades + stats
Closed projections stay as TP/SL boxes and result labels, and a stats table tracks the TP1 / TP2 / TP3 / SL distribution under your settings.
Themes, dashboard & alerts
Six visual themes, a live dashboard (trend, status, best direction, last signal) and alerts for strong signals, TP3, SL and protected-TP exits.
From a blank chart to a read
- Add Pullback Sniper Method to any candlestick chart and start with the defaults + Balanced mode.
- Read the trend — the engine only looks for longs in an uptrend and shorts in a downtrend.
- Wait for a breakout to arm a setup, then for price to pull back toward the pullback EMA.
- Let a confirmation candle print a STRONG signal; hover it to read the 0–100 quality tooltip.
- Use the projected Entry / TP1 / TP2 / TP3 / SL box as a structure reference and watch which level resolves.
- Review the stats table and dashboard to see how setups behaved, and tighten to Strict for fewer, cleaner signals.
- Treat it as decision support, set alerts to monitor hands-free, and validate on the symbols and timeframes you trade.
