Multi-period trend confluence strategy
Fast and slow trend regimes must agree before opening — long or short.
SMC CHoCH + FVG entries strategy
Market Structure says which way, the first Fair Value Gap in that direction says go now.

Entry rules
- Long when BOTH trend20 = +1 AND trend100 = +1.
- Short when BOTH trend20 = -1 AND trend100 = -1.
- 8-bar cooldown after exit.
- 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
- Exit immediately when the slower trend100 regime flips to 0 (chop).
- 7% trailing stop on the runner.
- Regime flip through zero in either direction closes the trade.
- 5% trailing stop, 5-bar cooldown.
Expected behavior
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.
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.
