Liquidity sweep reversal (SMC-SWEEP)

How the setup is identified

Enters on a reversal after price sweeps a liquidity pool, using a different confirmation rule from the wick-based LIQUIDITY-WICK.

Status and evidence

Cutting it improved the seven-month result from +$128.69 to +$154.59.

What we learned

The two strategies target the same market event and disagree about when it is confirmed. That overlap is exactly the redundancy the tournament's deduplication is designed to expose, and here it was decisive.

Removing this one improved the seven-month result from +$128.69 to +$154.59. A strategy whose deletion improves the portfolio is not merely unprofitable — it was actively taking trades the better implementation would otherwise have taken.
