Entry rules

  • Short on an EQH sweep β€” the stop-hunt fades and sellers step in.
  • Long on an EQL sweep.
  • Short on an EQH sweep β€” buy-side stops grabbed, sellers step in.
  • Long on an EQL sweep β€” sell-side stops grabbed, buyers reload.

Exit rules

  • Opposite-direction sweep closes the trade β€” that's the next liquidity event.
  • 4% trailing stop, 3-bar cooldown.
  • Opposite-side sweep closes the trade β€” that's the next liquidity event and the reversal leg is done.
  • 4% trailing stop, 3-bar cooldown.

Expected behavior

Range-friendly. Frequent small trades when price oscillates between equal-highs and equal-lows pools; can stack losses in strong trends that take out structure cleanly without reversing.

Advanced β€” sweep recognition is fast and noisy on short timeframes. Lots of small trades, occasional clean reversals when the sweep is the real local extreme. Pair with risk management; the entry triggers right into the wick.
