# Trend Follower

Directional strategy for confirmed momentum.

## Best used when
- trend is strong and persistent
- structure supports continuation
- liquidity is normal
- Hermes wants to follow momentum instead of fading it

## Avoid when
- price is range-bound
- trend strength is weak or noisy
- event risk is high
- the market is too chaotic for clean continuation

## Core parameters
- `trend_timeframe`: regime timeframe to inspect
- `trend_strength_min`: minimum strength to act
- `entry_offset_pct`: offset from market for entries
- `exit_offset_pct`: offset for exits or reversals
- `order_size`: base size for an entry
- `cooldown_ticks`: pause between actions

## Hermes policy mapping
- `risk_posture` adjusts strength threshold and offsets
- `priority` adjusts urgency and cooldown

## Notes
- Hermes decides when trend following is allowed.
- Trader maps policy to concrete order behavior.
- The strategy reports signal, strength, and policy-derived settings.
- `report().supervision` may signal `ready_to_yield_to_grid` only when trend pressure has cooled and inventory pressure is balanced.
