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.
- 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-side sweep closes the trade — that's the next liquidity event and the reversal leg is done.
- 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
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.
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.
