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
