Range-bound
Strong directional trends
Entry rules
- Short on an EQH sweep — the stop-hunt fades and sellers step in.
- Long on an EQL sweep.
- Long on bullish CHoCH — the first sign of an up-regime.
- Short on bearish CHoCH.
Exit rules
- Opposite-direction sweep closes the trade — that's the next liquidity event.
- 4% trailing stop, 3-bar cooldown.
- An opposite-direction CHoCH closes the position.
- 4% trailing stop, 5-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.
Patient — CHoCH signals are sparse by design. The strategy sits flat for long stretches and then catches the early bar of a regime change.
