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 when BOTH trend20 = +1 AND trend100 = +1.
- Short when BOTH trend20 = -1 AND trend100 = -1.
- 8-bar cooldown after exit.
Exit rules
- Opposite-direction sweep closes the trade — that's the next liquidity event.
- 4% trailing stop, 3-bar cooldown.
- Exit immediately when the slower trend100 regime flips to 0 (chop).
- 7% trailing stop on the runner.
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.
Trend follower with patience. Long flat periods when the two timeframes disagree, then steady runs when the slow regime turns and the fast one confirms. Drawdowns are deeper because exits wait for chop, not a clean flip.
