What This Wrapper Does
- Binds symbol =
US30 (also accepts broker variants: US30.cash, DJ30, YM, DOW — normalize before dispatch).
- Applies US30-specific overrides (see below).
- Delegates to the
pair-analyze pipeline.
- Returns the same JSON output contract as
pair-analyze, plus a us30_context block.
US30-Specific Calibration
| Aspect | Override vs. generic pair-analyze |
|---|
| Pip / point | 1.0 USD per unit — price quoted to 1 decimal |
| Typical spread | 1.0 – 3.0 during cash session; 4.0 – 10.0 overnight |
| Active sessions | US pre-market and cash session (12:00 – 21:00 UTC) |
| Dead zone | Asian session — wide spreads, low volume, gap risk |
| Volatility reference | H1 ATR(14) typically 60–160 pts; >250 = elevated |
| SL minimum | Max(structure-based, 0.8 × H1 ATR, 40 pts) |
| High-impact drivers | FOMC, CPI, NFP, ISM, mega-cap earnings (AAPL/MSFT/GS/UNH), yields |
| News gate buffer | 15 min before / 45 min after red-folder USD events |
| Correlation to monitor | SPX (high positive), VIX (inverse), USTs (context), DXY (weak inverse) |
| Gap behavior | Weekend and overnight gaps are common — open positions past cash close at risk |
Mode Defaults Adjusted for US30
| Mode | Per-trade risk | Min R:R | Notes |
|---|
| conservative | 0.5% | 3.0 | H4/D1 only; avoid FOMC week and earnings peaks |
| standard | 1.0% | 2.0 | H1/H4; cash session only |
| aggressive | 1.5% | 1.5 | H1/M15; first 90 min of US open, or post-FOMC trend |
| scalp | 0.5% | 1.5 | M5/M15; cash session only — never overnight |
| swing | 1.0% | 3.0 | H4/D1; align with SPX and breadth trend |
Worked Example: US30 H4 conservative
Assume current price = 42180, D1 uptrend, H4 consolidation, FOMC minutes in ~18h.
- Regime — D1 trend-up, H4 range-in-trend (42060 – 42230).
- News gate — clear for an H4 setup; flag FOMC minutes for position management.
- Structure — H4 CHoCH rejected at range top; bearish order block 42150 – 42220.
- Liquidity — equal highs at 42200 untouched → likely sweep target, not entry.
- Entry refinement — short 42180 after liquidity sweep of 42200 with M15 rejection.
- Risk — SL 42250 (70 pts, above ATR and equal-highs sweep); $10k × 0.5% = $50. Using the common US30 CFD spec of $1 per index-point per 1.0 lot: lots = $50 / (70 × $1) = 0.71. If your broker uses a $10-per-point spec, the same risk gives 0.07 lots — verify from your broker's symbol info before sizing.
- Plan — short 42180, SL 42250, TP1 41960 (3.1R, range bottom + buffer), grade A, confidence 0.74.

Skip Conditions (US30-specific)
Do NOT emit a trade plan when:
- Outside US cash session and mode is not
swing (overnight spreads + gap risk)
- Within 15 min before or 45 min after CPI, NFP, FOMC, ISM, or a Dow-30 mega-cap earnings print
- VIX > 28 AND mode is not
swing (regime = panic, intraday mean reversion is unreliable)
- SPX breaking major level in the opposite direction (breadth divergence)
- Spread > 5.0 at entry time
Validation Checklist
Position Management Notes
US30 gaps weekends and frequently gaps overnight on earnings. If a trade must be held past cash close:
- Reduce size by 50%
- Move SL to breakeven only if structure supports it (do not tighten mechanically)
- Log the gap risk in the trade journal (see
trading-fundamentals journaling section)
