Sentio ships with five structural pattern models for ES and NQ futures — and we’re adding new ones on a regular cadence. Every model is deterministic: read the rulebook, tune the parameters, replay any historical trigger. Pick one that matches how you already trade, build your own with the Model Builder, or wait for the next drop.
Adjust the parameters below and the setup geometry redraws in real time — same code path as the app. This is what tuning a model actually looks like.
Forever is the full ICT-style delivery-state confirmation stack. Sweep of a key liquidity pool → inverse FVG on the reclaim → CISD closes past the last opposing candle. Nothing fires until every rail lines up, which is why it triggers less often but averages the highest R per fire of the five.
Unicorn defines its entry as the exact zone where a breaker block overlaps a fair value gap on the same displacement leg. The overlap is small by design — natural tight-stop entries with a clean geometric invalidation. When the two zones agree, the pattern is unambiguous.
The simplest structural pattern in the roster. A large rejection wick pokes beyond a recent swing high or low, closes back inside range, and immediately forms an inversion FVG on the failure candle. Fires often — the trade-off is average R is lower than Forever or Unicorn.
Inverse FVG is the only continuation model in the roster. A parent gap gets traded through by a displacement leg, flipping the gap's polarity from support to resistance (or vice versa). The retest of the flipped zone is where the continuation trade happens.
Pure geometry — no structural overlays required. Sentio measures the largest recent impulse leg on the execution timeframe and marks the 50% retracement zone. When price returns to that zone and prints a rejection candle, the model fires. Works on any liquid instrument.
The model roster grows every few weeks. Each new model goes through the same pipeline as the built-in five — spec published, parameters documented, replay-validated on live NQ/ES tape before it ever reaches your scanner. When a new one ships, it just shows up in your model list.
Pick a template, inspect the compiled spec, clone it into your workspace. Every template is replay-validated before it lands in the library.
