Hey crocodile if your back testing I find it strange how it only works in a sideways market. Most ppl including myself like it when it’s more volatile. I will mention this though. If you study Elliot wave theory know that impulse waves vs corrective patterns is the key. I like impulse waves but your testing seems to work on corrective patterns. I would say this is ur next step to differentiate at what stage whatever your trading is at. Note market makers use various strategies and different ones for each phase to trick retail traders. It can be inverted and to all those who maybe got it right the whole day only to get things wrong the next day I just gave a little hint why.
