Regime change: evacuation on the opposite signal

The filters from lessons 05–07 guard the entry. But what about POSITIONS that already live when the market flips regime? That is the job of the React on Opposite (Stop on Opposite) mechanism — listening for the opposite signal from a dedicated set of indicators (independent of the entry filters). Four possible reactions:

Mode	Action
0 — Ignore	no reaction (the behavior so far)
1 — Stop button	disable the button, leave the positions (BE/TS keeps managing them); the only mode with auto-return
2 — Close positions	close the button’s positions and disable it (a definitive exit — no auto-return)
3 — Close, keep enabled — THIS SET	close the positions, the button stays active — evacuation on the flip, ready to play when the regime returns

This set uses mode 3 on the MMD M1 source (the full stack of 3 clouds): the moment the one-minute clouds turn against the button’s direction, its positions and pending orders are closed IMMEDIATELY — instead of living out their BE/TS in a deteriorating regime. The button stays active and returns to play on the first signal after the frame comes back.

The sensitivity of the listener is a slider between “asleep” and “overeager” — checked on real ticks (the BUY variant): listening on M5 or higher barely wakes up (positions die on BE/TS before the slow clouds manage to turn — almost nothing changes); M1 with the full stack — this set — evacuates a clear portion of the activity; M1 in two-cloud mode already cuts the decisive majority of entries. Choosing the sensitivity is your decision about how early you trust the shadow of a reversal.

What is enabled and why

Feature	Value in the set	Role
B1_ReactOnOpposite_MMD=3	close positions, button active	an exit by a regime decision, not a price stop
StopOpp_MMD_TimeFrame=M1	listening on M1, full cloud stack 5/12/48	the fastest FULL evidence of reversal: three one-minute clouds turned against the position
The whole stack from lesson 07	unchanged	entries still require full M5 + M15 consent

Note the separation of duties: the entry filters (B1_Use*) and the reversal listener (StopOpp_*) have SEPARATE parameters — you can enter by one frame and evacuate by another.

A trap worth understanding (verified on the tester)

Mode 1 (pause) with auto-return looks tempting: “don’t panic, just stop adding”. But it has a non-obvious property: if the listener overlaps with ANY entry gate (the same indicator and timeframe), it does not change a single entry — when the listener is opposite, the gate blocks anyway, and auto-return restores the button exactly when the gate passes again. A pause is a shadow of the gate. We checked this on real ticks: listening on M5, M15 and H1 in mode 1 gave a result identical to the cent with lesson 07. Mode 1 makes sense when the listener watches something the gates do not see (a different indicator, a different frame) — and it is the position-closing mode that actually makes the difference in the RESULT.

How it makes price behavior visible

1. Regimes have edges. On the chart you will see the points where the M1 clouds break the stack — and immediate close markers: the positions do not wait for price to reach a stop, they leave together with the regime that let them in.
2. Price stop vs regime stop. SL/BE/TS react to PRICE; the reaction to the opposite reacts to STRUCTURE. Compare on the markers: some evacuations save a profit the trailing would not have defended; some flee just before a bottom that would have held. This is the cost and the value of structural decisions.
3. Readiness instead of sulking at the market. Mode 3 does not disable the button — after the frame returns, the first signal opens a new campaign. The rhythm close → silence → new campaign is visible to the naked eye.

What to watch

• The [React on Opposite] ... CLOSE_KEEP_ENABLED entries in the log — each evacuation with the number of closed positions.
• Markers: closes halfway between the entry and the SL/TP — the signature of a regime exit.
• Comparison with lesson 07 (the same period): the difference comes from trades cut earlier by the M1 flip.

Next step

Lesson 09: everything above defends the POSITION. Time for a layer that defends the ACCOUNT: Equity Guard, Basket Max Loss and a daily fuse.
