Core trading strategies
Every trade passes through hybrid scoring — a weighted decision from several algorithms at once
Momentum Burst
Catches impulsive surges in volume and price, entering in the direction of the break as the market accelerates.
Anti-Martingale
It scales the position up on a win and down on a loss — the opposite of a classic martingale.
Quick Scalp
Short trades on M1/M5 with a tight target and stop, and dozens of entry points a day.
Squeeze Breakout
Trades the breakout after a volatility squeeze (Bollinger inside Keltner) — the exit from a quiet zone.
Mean Reversion
Mean reversion: entry on RSI oversold or overbought conditions and deviation from VWAP.
Trend Following
Trend following via ADX, Ichimoku and moving averages, with a trailing stop.
HYBRID Scoring
A meta-strategy: it gathers signals from every indicator into a single score and trades only when the majority agree.
Risk-first filter
Before entry, the trade's expectancy and the risk limits are checked — negative expectancy is filtered out.
Level rejection (S/R)
Entry as price rejects a strong support or resistance level, confirmed by a candle — a trade in the reversal zone with a close stop.
Breakout and retest
The level breaks, price returns to it and confirms direction — the classic low-risk continuation setup.
Break of structure (BOS)
A break of the last significant swing high or low in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend — a continuation signal.
Multi-timeframe pullback
Trend is read on the higher timeframe, with entry on a pullback to dynamic support on the lower one.
Liquidity sweep (SMC)
Liquidity is taken beyond a local extreme before the break — entry after the stop hunt, in the direction of the impulse.
Breakout on volume
Accumulation, then a move out of the range on elevated volume. Volume confirms the strength of the move and a trend filter rules out falling knives.
Paranormal bar (Gerchik)
A candle with a range at least twice the average creates levels at both ends. The trade fades a false break of that level — price pierces it with a wick and closes back inside.
Five-phase reversal
The trend weakens, then a climax (a large bar at the extreme), then a break of structure, then a retest of the broken level with a rejection — that is the entry. Robust on the Dow hourly with a VWAP filter.
Entry quality filter base
Around 18 composable filters can be attached to any strategy: level plus higher-timeframe trend, side of VWAP, volume spike, EMA stack, liquid session, ADX regime. The lab compares the strategy with and without each filter — a filter stays only if it raised the profit factor after costs.
Time-Series Momentum
An academic edge that has survived costs for decades: entry on the sign of the return over N bars, with a volatility filter. Confirmed by our lab on gold, with a profit factor up to 2.98.
RSI(2) Connors
A documented mean reversion: RSI(2) oversold above the 200-day average goes long, overbought below it goes short. Robust on indices (US30, SPX500).
A portfolio of complementary edges
Each edge on the market that suits it: trend (TSMOM) on gold, mean reversion (RSI2) on indices, Gerchik levels on the yen and metals. When one market stalls, another works.
Internal Bar Strength (IBS)
A documented mean reversion: a close near the low of the daily range is bought the next day. Confirmed by our lab on gold and indices — it works on crypto too.
Fisher Transform
Ehlers' oscillator maps price onto a Gaussian — sharp extremes mark reversals inside a range. The strongest range edge on indices (S&P M15, profit factor 2.2).
Relative Vigor Index · TRIX · Aroon
A batch validated from research: RVI (silver daily, profit factor 3.1), TRIX (oil), Aroon, KST, Schaff Trend Cycle, Hull MA. Each cleared our walk-forward after costs.
Range regime filter
Mean reversion is permitted only in a range (low ADX and low efficiency) — it prevents buying against the trend. Plus Connors' Double-7 and Crabel's NR7 for crypto and commodities.
Candlestick figures
New constructor triggers: engulfing, harami, pin bar (hammer or star), morning and evening star, three-bar reversal. Reversals at extremes — each one passes the null gate and walk-forward.
Divergence & MACD cross
Price/RSI divergence (price makes a new extreme, the oscillator does not — a reversal) and a MACD signal cross as a trend trigger. The narrow-range break catches the expansion after a contraction.
Regime filters
Volatility above or below its own average, and candle body strength — attachable to any edge so that it trades only in a suitable market regime.
Signal ensemble (entry + exit)
A composite of every edge on the instrument, weighted by quality and regime. An agreement gate and sizing on entry; closing the position when the pool turns on exit. The combination governs the whole trade.
Trend filter on entry
Never fade a strong trend: buy at support only outside a downtrend, sell at resistance only outside an uptrend (judged by the EMA50 slope). In a range, both directions are allowed.
