Stop Trading After Major Session Runs

The SwingArm PressureShift Strategy tracks each symbol's cumulative intraday move. When price makes a major directional run—for example, an initial ~75-point surge that extends to 150+ points in the same session—the strategy triggers a Stop Trading signal.

Why we pause: After a big session move, markets typically slip into choppy consolidation. That's where gains are most often handed back. By standing down during this phase, the strategy focuses on capital preservation and profit retention.

Scope: These session-based major-move thresholds are symbol-specific and apply to both standard and micro contracts for NQ, ES, YM, and RTY.

⚠️ Risk Management Notice

These thresholds are estimates based on historical volatility patterns. Always monitor market conditions and adjust your risk management accordingly. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
