Entry rules

  • 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.
  • Long the bar after state crosses up through zero.
  • Short the bar after state crosses down through zero.

Exit rules

  • Regime flip through zero in either direction closes the trade.
  • 5% trailing stop, 5-bar cooldown.
  • Any state flip closes the active position.
  • 4% trailing stop on the runner; 2-bar cooldown.

Expected behavior

Picky β€” 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.

Trend-friendly equity curve β€” clean in directional regimes, whipsaws in chop. The 10/3.0 default fires frequently on intraday timeframes and less often on daily candles.
