Entry rules
- Short on an EQH sweep — buy-side stops grabbed, sellers step in.
- Long on an EQL sweep — sell-side stops grabbed, buyers reload.
- Long on a bullish OB retest (bull_retest > 0).
- Short on a bearish OB retest.
Exit rules
- Opposite-side sweep closes the trade — that's the next liquidity event and the reversal leg is done.
- 4% trailing stop, 3-bar cooldown.
- Position closes when the OB is mitigated (price closes through the opposite edge).
- An opposite-side OB retest also invalidates the trade.
- 4% trailing stop, 3-bar cooldown.
Expected behavior
Advanced — 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.
Selective — OBs are sparse and retests are rarer still. The strategy spends most of the time flat and produces concentrated trades around real structure flips.
