OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
Updated FAILED 9 BACK TEST

This indicator, FAILED 9 , is a high-precision volatility expansion strategy designed for the SPY, QQQ, and IWM indices. It focuses on institutional liquidity sweeps occurring during the NYSE pre-market and the high-volume opening hour.
Strategy Overview
The core logic identifies a "liquidity trap" formed between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM EST. By tracking the 50% midline of this range, the strategy enters trades when price action sweeps the initial range boundaries and then reverts to the mean.
How to Trade It
The Sweep: Wait for a green (bullish) or red (bearish) triangle to appear before 9:30 AM, indicating a range break.
The Entry: Look for a retracement to the Yellow Midline. The script will label this "Entry" automatically.
The Target: The primary goal is the opposite side of the 8:00 AM range (High or Low).
The Cut-Off: If the target is not reached by 10:30 AM, the trade is closed.
