Overview
All four Wolf Setups share the same underlying logic. This page explains what they have in common — how direction is filtered, how each step builds on the last, and what determines how often a setup fires.
Direction Filter
All four setups only fire in the direction of the HTF trend. No counter-trend setups.
How Every Setup Works
All four setups share the same logic:
| 1. | Rejection — an SFP (or internal SFP) sweeps a key level and fails to hold. |
| 2. | Confirmation — a CHoCH on the LTF confirms the reversal is underway. |
No setup fires without both. The CHoCH is the filter that separates a real reversal from a wick that keeps going.
SFP Types by Setup
Each setup uses a different SFP — understanding which one matters for reading setups correctly.
| Setup | SFP Type | Where it forms |
|---|---|---|
| #1 LOI | HTF SFP | At the HTF range high or low |
| #2 AOI LTF | L-SFP (LTF SFP) | On the chart timeframe, wick entering an HTF zone |
| #3 EQ | i-SFP (Internal SFP) | Within the HTF range's internal structure, wick crossing EQ |
| #4 AOI Internal | i-SFP (Internal SFP) | Within the HTF range's internal structure, wick entering an HTF zone |
Setup On
| 1. | Break (default) — label appears the moment the CHoCH breaks. Aggressive entry, wider stop. |
| 2. | Retest — label appears when price pulls back to retest the CHoCH level. Conservative entry, tighter stop. |
Setup Frequency
| Timeframe | Frequency |
|---|---|
| 15m chart / 4H HTF | A few per week |
| 1H chart / 12H HTF | A few per month |
| 4H chart / Weekly HTF | Rare — highly significant |
INFO
Low frequency is a feature. High-conviction setups don't fire constantly.
