Market Structure Swing Trading with RSI, Volume, and ATR Exits

Summary

This document describes a swing strategy that combines market structure signals with RSI and volume filters. It defines Change of Character (CHoCH) as a possible directional shift, Break of Structure (BOS) as confirmation of direction, and inducements and liquidity sweeps as ways to identify traps or liquidity grabs. The stated entry logic pairs a bullish or bearish BOS with an oversold or overbought RSI reading and above-average volume. ATR multiples set stop and target levels, while position size is based on account equity.

The published settings show a one-day ETH/USDT futures backtest window, but the document reports no performance statistics, so it provides no evidence of profitability. There is also a gap between the description and the supplied implementation: the code does not implement inducements or sweeps, and its BOS variables appear to be initialized when direction changes without subsequently tracking new extrema. The document itself flags false breakouts, parameter sensitivity, thin liquidity, and drawdowns as risks.

Key ideas

• CHoCH and BOS are presented as tools for detecting possible market shifts and confirming directional movement.
• RSI and relative volume filter the stated long and short entry signals.
• ATR multiples define stop and target prices, while position size is based on account equity.
• The supplied code does not implement the described inducement and sweep signals.
• No backtest results are reported, and the document identifies false signals and drawdowns as risks.
