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.
Slow oscillator — fewer trades than a price-based crossover, but each one is volume-confirmed. Equity curve is patient: long quiet stretches punctuated by participation surges.
