The Zero Candle is a price action trigger that shows up inside a range — often unnoticed — but it tells you where the real move is about to begin.
It's not just any candle. It’s a 4-candle sequence that reveals intention.
What Is the Zero Candle?
- A Zero Candle is the highest or lowest candle inside a small range
- But it only becomes “valid” when one of its edges breaks within the next 3 candles
- This makes it a 4-candle pattern
- It's used to identify true breakouts, intentional traps, and reversal points


How to Confirm a Zero Candle
- Candle 1 (Zero Candle):
- The highest high or lowest low in a local structure
- Candle 2–4:
- One of these must break the high or low of the Zero Candle
- The break = intent
- Rejection after the break = trap
- Clean closure = confirmation
Where to Use It
The Zero Candle becomes deadly accurate when found at:
- 🔹 MCR or Manipulation Zone edges
- 🔹 15M wick gaps or dojis
- 🔹 Profile highs/lows
- 🔹 Standard deviation levels (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5)
These are areas of imbalance — the Zero Candle just tells you when it activates.
