Entry rules

Short on an EQH sweep — the stop-hunt fades and sellers step in.
Long on an EQL sweep.

Enter long when RSI(14) prints below 30 — the textbook oversold threshold.
Only one position at a time; the cooldown blocks immediate re-entry after an exit.

Exit rules

Opposite-direction sweep closes the trade — that's the next liquidity event.
4% trailing stop, 3-bar cooldown.

Close the position when RSI(14) recovers above 70.
Hard stop-loss at 3% below entry; take-profit at 5%.

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.

Choppy zig-zag equity curve with frequent small wins and the occasional outlier loss when a sharp downtrend leaves RSI pinned in the oversold zone. Fits range-bound chop; struggles in strong directional regimes.
