Entry rules
- Long on bullish CHoCH — the first sign of an up-regime.
- Short on bearish CHoCH.
- Long when BOTH trend20 = +1 AND trend100 = +1.
- Short when BOTH trend20 = -1 AND trend100 = -1.
- 8-bar cooldown after exit.
Exit rules
- An opposite-direction CHoCH closes the position.
- 4% trailing stop, 5-bar cooldown.
- Exit immediately when the slower trend100 regime flips to 0 (chop).
- 7% trailing stop on the runner.
Expected behavior
Patient — CHoCH signals are sparse by design. The strategy sits flat for long stretches and then catches the early bar of a regime change.
Trend follower with patience. Long flat periods when the two timeframes disagree, then steady runs when the slow regime turns and the fast one confirms. Drawdowns are deeper because exits wait for chop, not a clean flip.
