Structural Trend is a regime filter built on swing pivots rather than smoothed price. It tracks the most recent swing highs and lows and counts directional breakouts: when price breaks above swing highs it accrues up-side evidence, when it breaks below swing lows it accrues down-side evidence. The state only flips to +1 (up) or −1 (down) after two confirmed same-side breaks, and sits at 0 (neutral) until a regime is established.
Requiring two breaks is the whole point: a single break is often a liquidity grab that immediately reverses. By waiting for a second confirmation, Structural Trend ignores most one-bar fakeouts at the cost of confirming a turn slightly later. It is closely related to the Smart-Money idea of a Break of Structure (BOS).
Used as a filter, it is simple to read in a rule: allow longs only while the state is +1, allow shorts only while it is −1, and stand aside at 0.
Esempio
Price sweeps a prior high once (possible trap) but the state stays 0; on the next higher-high break it flips to +1, and the strategy begins taking long setups.
