VOID + DOM Forex Playbook (with Overlap)

Overview: The DEC Playbook fuses two complementary execution modes for Forex trading into one clean framework:

VOID Stack (strict sniper): 15m chart, EMA 20/50 bias + liquidity sweep confirmation.

DOM OX Core (loose flow): 5m chart, EMA 10/30 crossovers + ATR breakout filter.

Overlap (conviction): When VOID and DOM align in the same direction, treat it as a conviction setup.

Features

VOID/DOM signals: Separate labels for strict sweeps (VOID) and momentum bursts (DOM).

Overlap highlight: Calls out conviction zones when both modes align.

Bias-first workflow: Designed to be used with Daily → 4H → 1H top-down bias.

FX coverage: Works on majors and gold (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, XAUUSD).

Step-by-step guide

Set your bias (Daily → 4H → 1H)

Daily trend: Long-only if higher highs/lows; short-only if lower highs/lows.

4H levels: Mark prior highs/lows and session ranges as sweep targets.

1H session filter: Only trade in the session direction; if mixed, stand down.

Arm VOID (15m sniper)

Confirm: EMA 20 > 50 for longs (or < for shorts).

Require: Liquidity sweep of prior high/low within last 20 bars and a close back inside.

Enter: On the 15m close of the sweep bar in bias direction.

Risk/targets: Stop 10–15 pips beyond the sweep; TP1 20–30 pips, TP2 40–60 pips.

Check DOM (5m momentum)

Signal: EMA 10/30 crossover in trade direction.

Volatility: ATR breakout ≥ baseline (default 1.0).

Enter: On 5m close; use scout sizing.

Risk/targets: Stop 8–12 pips; TP 10–20 pips. Take quick profits.

Press Overlap (conviction)

Condition: A valid VOID signal with DOM aligning in the same direction within 1–3 bars.

Action: Use VOID entry/stop logic; increase size within risk ladder.

Management: Scale 50% at TP1; trail remainder under 15m swing for TP2.

Manage and exit

TP1 event: Scale 50%, move stop to breakeven + a couple pips.

Trail: For VOID/Overlap, trail under last 15m swing; for DOM, use fixed target.

Stop trading: Hit −3% daily or after a clean Overlap win—protect edge.

Risk and targets

VOID: Stop 10–15 pips; TP 20–40 pips (TP2 up to 60 pips on trend days).

DOM: Stop 8–12 pips; TP 10–20 pips.

Overlap: Stop 15–20 pips; TP 40–60 pips.

Risk ladder: 1–2% per trade; −3% daily stop; −8% weekly stop.

Sizing guidance: DOM = 0.25–0.5R scout; VOID = 1.0R standard; Overlap = 1.5–2.0R conviction.

Quick-start checklist

Bias: Daily/4H/1H aligned.

Level: Sweep candidate marked (VOID) or open space (DOM).

Trigger: VOID sweep + EMA bias OR DOM cross + ATR breakout.

Orders: Stop and targets placed immediately.

Discipline: No chasing mid-bar, no widening stops, journal every trade.

🔹 How to Apply in Practice

Start of day: Open Daily, 4H, 1H. Decide: Long, Short, or Neutral.

Write it down: “Bias = Long” (this keeps you accountable).

Drop to 15m/5m: Only take signals in that direction.

If bias is neutral: Trade light or skip the day.

✅ Bottom line: The indicator gives you triggers, but you supply the bias. Think of it like a Wall Street desk — the analyst sets the daily directional call, and the execution trader only pulls the trigger in that direction.
