It can switch regimes instantly once the new signal is detected, so pretty much on the very next round after the signal. The signals are stable so no whipsaws, or way less since the ai is looking at the larger daily trend. Usually trends continue so most of the time there will be ample time to make money after a switch. For instance right now it's been bearish for a while and will continue to be bearish until the price can prove otherwise. Eventually we'll break out and flip though and that will be a good thing. On average I haven't been seeing signal changes that often, the shorter trends last about 1-2 weeks, so not so much whipsaw action. The other good part is both the bull strategy and bear strategy can work in either trend. On a major downtrend the bullish mode can be buying massive dips, and taking advantage of dead cat bounces along the way, and vice versa.
