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 FVG while market structure is in a +1 (bullish) regime.
- Short on a bearish FVG while market structure is in a -1 (bearish) regime.
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.
- Regime flip through zero in either direction closes the trade.
- 5% trailing stop, 5-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.
Picky — both legs must agree. Long flat stretches followed by clusters of trades when a regime turns and FVGs print along the way. Stacks well in directional markets, sits out balanced ranges.
