About
After a structure break, waits for price to return into the order block that caused it and enters with a limit order at the block's midpoint; the stop sits beyond the block and the target at the swing extreme. Built on the smc libraries.
Settings
Swing legs: 5
Reward (R): 2.5
Measured backtests
Run by the backtest engine on public candles, 2025-11-01 to 2026-11-01, with the script's own commission and slippage, on BTCUSDT 1h (Binance) and ETHUSDT 1h (Binance). The figures per market are in the Measured backtest panel below. Past results do not predict future returns.
Backtest it yourself
Open it on the backtesting page to run it on any symbol, interval and date range, then use Monte Carlo, optimisation, walk-forward and robustness tests.
