Each bar is the middle result for that chart speed. The number in parentheses is how many cells. The black line is zero.

Each dot is one cell, lined up by chart speed. Dots to the right of the black line finished above zero. The orange line is the middle.

How Gold Sniper — Liquidity Sweep + RSI Divergence works

Rules in this group usually work like this. It tries to act the way a person reading a chart would: at spots where price turned, at gaps, and at places where many people are likely to have set a stop. In code those ideas become counts of bars. The result depends on how those spots are defined. The next paragraph is this particular rule, which can be narrower than the group.

It can buy, and it can bet on falling prices. It acts only when several checks agree at once. It leans on ATR, RSI; those names are explained on their own pages, further down. The exact line is in the list below, in the author's names, and you can skip that list. When it enters, it also sets a stop or a target, so a trade can close without a new signal.

Each trade uses 50 percent of the account. It holds one trade at a time.

The exact condition, from the code

Same rule, translated from the code, in the author's names. You can skip this list if the paragraph above was enough.

Enters long when Enable Liquidity Sweep Reversal (on) and bull sweep and (run low − the previous low) is above 0 and in session and daily trades is below Max Trades per Day (10) and (Trade Direction (Both) equals 'Both' or Trade Direction (Both) equals 'Long Only') and no position is open.
Enters short when Enable Liquidity Sweep Reversal (on) and bear sweep and (the previous high − run high) is above 0 and in session and daily trades is below Max Trades per Day (10) and (Trade Direction (Both) equals 'Both' or Trade Direction (Both) equals 'Short Only') and no position is open.

On entry, places a stop at (the previous low − ((run low − the previous low) × SL Buffer (× sweep depth) (0.5))), a target at (the close + ((the close − (the previous low − ((run low − the previous low) × SL Buffer (× sweep depth) (0.5)))) × Reward : Risk Ratio (2))).
On entry, places a stop at (the previous high + ((the previous high − run high) × SL Buffer (× sweep depth) (0.5))), a target at (the close − (((the previous high + ((the previous high − run high) × SL Buffer (× sweep depth) (0.5))) − the close) × Reward : Risk Ratio (2))).
On entry, places a stop at (the close − (the 14-period ATR × ATR Multiplier for SL (1))), a target at (the close + ((the 14-period ATR × ATR Multiplier for SL (1)) × Reward : Risk Ratio (1.5))).

How the backtest was run

Every strategy was tried the same way, on the settings the author published.

The years are October 2021 to June 2026. The prices are from Bybit, for 13 widely traded coins, mostly on hourly, 4-hour and daily charts, with some faster charts. That was 47,242 tries. The window stored in the files is 2021-09..2026-06.

599 rules produced a finished try. A rule that finished above zero on at least 12 cells, before any fee, was tried again with a fee of 0.12 percent per side. Only buys are counted in that second try. 273 rules got it.

The method, the aggregate results and a downloadable table are on the study page. What the desk does with the results beyond these pages is its own.

Before any fee, it was tried on 66 cells. It placed a trade on 51 of them. 8 of the cells that traded finished above zero (15.7%).

It was not run a second time with a fee. That second pass happens only when at least 12 cells finished above zero before fees. 273 rules got that pass.

Cells tried	66
Cells that placed a trade	51
Finished above zero	8 (15.7% of the cells that traded)
Middle result, before fees	−42.5%
Strongest cell, the top of the range	AVAX 4-hour: +33.9%
Weakest cell, the bottom of the range	ADA 15-minute: −100.0%
Middle drawdown, before fees	58.3%

How to read the result

How to read the number

The median of every cell that traded is the result. No fee has been taken off, so the number is a ceiling. A fee comes off each trade, and this page does not guess that cost, because this rule did not get the second pass where the fee is applied. The weakest and the strongest cells are not a result on their own.

The middle drawdown, on the cells that traded, was 58.3%.

What this does not show

The useful question is how the turning points are counted in the code. A person can be vague. The code has to count bars.

Nothing on this page was fit to the cell that finished highest. One coin, one chart speed, or one strong stretch is a single row. It is not the rule. Other years, another exchange, or another fee would be a different measurement.
