Entry rules

  • 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.
  • Long on bullish CHoCH β€” the first sign of an up-regime.
  • Short on bearish CHoCH.

Exit rules

  • 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.
  • An opposite-direction CHoCH closes the position.
  • 4% trailing stop, 5-bar cooldown.

Expected behavior

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.

Patient β€” CHoCH signals are sparse by design. The strategy sits flat for long stretches and then catches the early bar of a regime change.
