Downtrend Pullback — Short (4h-gated) — TradeSteady Premium Scanner Guide

Crypto Futures SELL signal crypto_reversal INTRADAY

Short the lower-high pullback inside a confirmed 4h downtrend — trend CONTINUATION, not a top reversal (which has no edge). Trigger: htf_downtrend_4h (4h net <=-6%/~40h + lower highs) + bounce_15m_4bar_pct > 1 (price pulled back UP into the lower high on 15m). Edge scales with downtrend strength. Backtest +3.4% edge / 60% WR, robust across all params.

The edge — what this scanner is hunting

Lower-high pullback inside a 4h downtrend — continuation, not a top. The edge lives in the 4h downtrend gate (htf_downtrend_4h: 4h net ≤ -6% + lower highs); a 15m pullback UP (bounce_15m_4bar_pct > 1) is the entry. Fading tops with no trend has no edge — the edge scales with downtrend strength.

How it fires

htf_downtrend_4h == True + bounce_15m_4bar_pct > 1 and < 15 + funding in (-0.05, 0.05); ranked by dt_dump_priority (new/meme/small-cap dumps first).
