# Sniper Bands Signal

The Sniper Bands Signal fires the moment the bands are flipping bullish or bearish. It's an early warning system — giving you the heads up before the move fully develops so you can prepare your entry.

### What the signals mean

Green arrow

Bands are flipping bullish. Momentum is shifting to the upside. Begin watching for a long entry confirmation.

Red arrow

Bands are flipping bearish. Momentum is shifting to the downside. Begin watching for a short entry confirmation.

### How to use it

Signal fires

An arrow appears below or above the candle. This is your alert that a momentum flip is occurring — not yet a confirmed entry, but a signal to pay attention.

Long entry

Green arrow appears. Wait for the candle to close with the bands fully green and price holding above the Sniper Cloud midline before entering long.

Short entry

Red arrow appears. Wait for the candle to close with the bands fully red and price holding below the Sniper Cloud midline before entering short.

Don't jump in early

The signal fires at the flip — not the confirmation. If you enter immediately on the arrow without waiting for a close, you risk a fakeout. Let the candle close and confirm.

### Tips

The signal is most powerful after a prolonged trend in one direction. A green arrow after a sustained downtrend is a much stronger signal than one that fires in a choppy market.

Use the signal as a trigger to zoom in — when the arrow fires on the 4H, drop to the 1H to find a tighter entry after the close confirms the flip.

Multiple arrows firing in quick succession without follow-through means the market is choppy. Wait for separation between signals before committing to a position.
