• Take Profit: Based on average swing length from statistics

Regular Divergence Strategy

Bearish Setup

1. Identify bearish regular divergence at a high timeframe resistance or PD array
2. Wait for a liquidity grab above resistance
   • Price should wick above resistance and close below it
   • Look for strong downward reaction
3. Wait for TRN trend bars to turn red
4. Entry: Open of the first bar after TRN trend bars change to red
5. Stop Loss: 2 ticks above the wick high
6. Target: Last swing low, HTF support level, or PD array
7. Minimum Risk-Reward: 2R (skip if less)

Bullish Setup

1. Identify bullish regular divergence at a high timeframe support or PD array
2. Wait for a liquidity grab below support
   • Price should wick below support and close above it
   • Look for strong upward reaction
3. Wait for TRN trend bars to turn green
4. Entry: Open of the first bar after TRN trend bars change to green
5. Stop Loss: 2 ticks below the wick low
6. Target: Last swing high, HTF resistance level, or PD array
7. Minimum Risk-Reward: 2R (skip if less)

SMT Strategy (Imbalance Trading)

This strategy focuses on trading imbalances between highly correlated assets, particularly NASDAQ futures (NQ) and S&P 500 futures (ES).

Setup Requirements

1. Daily timeframe
2. NASDAQ futures make a new lower low
3. S&P 500 futures make a higher low
4. SMT/Divergence Suite detects bullish regular SMT divergence

Trade Execution

1. Entry: Next day's open
2. Instrument: Use the stronger instrument (typically ES1!)
3. Stop Loss: Below previous day's low
4. Target: 3R (three times the risk)

Best Conditions

• Most effective in strong trending markets
• Works with other correlated pairs:
  • BTC vs. ETH
  • GC1! vs. SI1!
  • EURUSD vs. GBPUSD

Best Practices

1. Confirmation

   • Wait for candlestick confirmation
   • Use multiple timeframe analysis
   • Combine with support/resistance levels

2. Risk Management

   • Always use defined stop losses
   • Maintain minimum 2R risk-reward ratio
   • Consider position sizing based on setup quality

3. Optimization

   • Adjust swing size based on timeframe
   • Use larger swing sizes for higher timeframes
   • Smaller swing sizes for lower timeframes

4. Filters

   • Trade in direction of higher timeframe trend
   • Look for confluence with other technical indicators
   • Wait for TRN trend bars color change confirmation
   • Skip trades with poor risk-reward ratios

   • Monitor average swing durations for timing
