Entry rules
- Short on an EQH sweep — the stop-hunt fades and sellers step in.
- Long on an EQL sweep.
- RSI(14) below 35 AND
- Close is above the 50-bar EMA — the dip is with the trend, not against it.
Exit rules
- Opposite-direction sweep closes the trade — that's the next liquidity event.
- 4% trailing stop, 3-bar cooldown.
- RSI(14) above 65, OR close drops below EMA(50).
- Hard 2.5% stop; 5% take-profit.
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.
Cleaner equity curve than vanilla RSI mean reversion because the EMA filter cuts the worst counter-trend trades. Fewer setups, but each one comes with a stacked deck.
