* <mark style="color:$primary;">**Condition 1-3**</mark> – Detects bullish/bearish price structures such as **Break of Structure (BOS), Change of Character (CHoCH), Liquidity Prints, or Fair Value Gap (FVG) Mitigations and other SMC**.
* <mark style="color:$primary;">**Condition 4-5**</mark> – Compares price metrics (e.g., **close price equals another value**) for additional validation.
* <mark style="color:$primary;">**Condition 6**</mark> – Allows filtering by specific trading sessions (time-based entries).
* <mark style="color:yellow;">**Step**</mark> – Defines the sequence in which conditions must be met before confirming an entry.
