A strategy can "appear" to work or be broken depending on the pile of cash that is working on. This amount is defined in the strat properties, under "order size".
For noobs (like me) this is very confusing at first :)
A strat opens/closes positions using units, a generic measure for the chart being operated on. Thes "units" can be a fixed amount of cash, a fixed amount of contracts, or a floating amount based on the last profits made. I recommend checking my previous strat to figure the case of contracts .
So, any trading price is the amount of "things" you get for some "cash". The things are the first unit, the "cash" is the second. Some examples:
XAU/USD - 1 xau oz is worth x dollars
BTC/USD - 1 bitcoin is worth x dollars
GBP/EUR - 1 pound is worth x euros
To add to confusion, a lot of markets the "unit size" is different from what the strat thinks it is. An options contract is 100 shares(the unit), 1 xau contract is 10 oz(units), 1 eur/usd contract is 100k euros and so on... so, after figuring out how the sizes work in a strat, then the sizes must be adapted for the specific market in question.
The choice os using the ETHUSD pair is because:
1 - you can buy 1eth, unlike a gold contract for example, so 1 "unit" = 1 eth, easier to get
2 - ETH is around 12 bucks, wich gives round numbers on the math, easier to wrap the brains around :)
3- is an unusual pair, so the regular contract sizes don't apply, and the brain is not conditioned to work inside the box ;)
You will have to access the script properties, to change the values. As these values are changed you will see exactly the differences in the values of the strat.
Text is too long, check the comments for all the cases
BarUpDn time limitedtrying to understand strategies, it appears that there is a lot of black magic in how a strat works behind the scenes.
anyway, it's hard to analyse what's all the data with one gazillion entries, and i wanted to know how we can manipulate/do stuff with a chart.
so, i needed to know how to "give" the script my values to work on. bundled two wants/needs into one, and created a script that only applies a strategy from the date given onwards.
how to use:
at the chart, go to the "format" little button, then the input tab, and there is all the date fields i created. fun to set it to the current date, then start going backwards and see all the little arrows filing up the chart :)

BitMex Trailing Stop StrategyThis script is designed for those who want to use BitMex's trailing stop. It's not meant to be used as entry exits, but rather to get an idea of how wide the trailing stop needs to be. I suggest you backtest with different values. The script can also be integrated into an existing strategy which does give entry/exits to act as its stop loss.
LFH/ Long positions using MACD histogram, long EMA and short EMADisclaimer: I'm a noob.
Hey there!
I'm trying to implement a script which enter market long position when long EMA crossover short EMA and MACD histogram is positive and histogram at T time is lesser than histogram at T-1.
And when short EMA crossover long EMA, plus MACD histogram is negative and histogram at T is greater than histogram at T-1, I want the script to exit market long position.
Now, I have something pretty close to what I am looking for. What I am missing and can't figure out yet is:
How to moderate entries, ie. I would like it to enter positions when trends are really interesting not just every time the conditions are fulfilled (same for exits) as there is way too much positions
I need to find a way to exit appropriated positions.
Vigor Micro-Trend Strategy)STRATEGY NAME: VIGOR MICRO-TREND STRATEGY (LONG ONLY)
This is a compliant description for a Closed-Source Subscription Strategy.
---
1. STRATEGY OVERVIEW AND CORE LOGIC
The Vigor Micro-Trend Strategy is an advanced, high-frequency, LONG ONLY system for short-term trends. It uses a two-tiered MA structure and dynamic risk. Configured for MAX FREQUENCY (most filters minimized).
PRIMARY ENTRY CONFLUENCE (LONG Only):
* Scalping Signal: Bullish cross of a Fast MA (13) over a Slow MA (34). User choice between standard EMA or the low-lag Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA).
* GDC Trend Filter: EMA 50 must be above a hidden EMA 200 (bullish environment). Also enters on GDC Retests off the EMA 50.
* Session Filter: Trading limited to active hours (default UTC 12:00 to 20:00).
---
2. DYNAMIC RISK AND EXIT MANAGEMENT
* Dynamic Contract Sizing: Calculates contract size to limit loss on the initial SL to a fixed Max Risk per Trade (default $10.00$ USD), based on current ATR.
* Initial Stop Loss (SL): Tight SL based on 14-period ATR (default factor 0.5).
* Split Exits & Trailing: 50% exits at a 1R profit target; 50% managed by an ATR-based Trailing Stop Loss (TSL).
* Breakeven (BE) Lock: A BE stop is initiated once the trade is 2 ticks in profit.
* Max Bars Exit: Trades are closed if they exceed 20 bars in duration (strict scalping).
* Daily Profit Floor Protection: If closed profit reaches the $110 Profit Floor, the script will automatically exit any open trade if total P&L drops below $110 to protect gains. Trading stops if the $500 Max Daily Loss is reached.
---
3. BACKTESTING & MANDATORY DISCLOSURES
* Required Configuration: Commissions and slippage MUST be configured by the user in the Strategy Properties window.
* Trade Sample Size: The strategy must generate over 100 trades for statistically reliable results.
MANDATORY DISCLAIMER: Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. All claims of historical performance are substantiated by the backtesting results on the chart, but these results do not guarantee actual trading outcomes.
Venzitech ScalperVenzitech Scalper: Compliant Description (Plaintext)
This strategy is a complex, multi-indicator trend-following system designed for intraday scalping on low-timeframe charts. It uses a confluence of four distinct filters to ensure high-conviction entries during optimal momentum and volume.
1. Overview and Core Logic
The entry signal requires simultaneous confirmation from the following components:
Trend Confirmation (Heikin-Ashi EMAs): The primary trend is established using Heikin-Ashi price action combined with an EMA (Fast=8) crossing and remaining above an EMA (Slow=21). This provides a smoother, momentum-based trend signal.
Momentum Strength (ADX/RSI): The trend must be validated by the ADX (default 16) to confirm sufficient directional strength, and the RSI (default 42) to confirm continued positive internal momentum.
Volume Validation: A dynamic filter requires the current bar's volume to be greater than the 20-period Volume MA (multiplied by the default 1.0 factor), ensuring trades are executed during periods of active market participation.
Session & Volatility Filter: Trades are restricted to a defined trading window (default UTC 12:00 to 20:00). The script also includes an optional Volatility Cap filter based on a long-term ATR to suppress entries during extreme volatility.
2. Trade Management and Realistic Risk
This strategy employs a robust, partial-exit risk management plan driven by the Average True Range (ATR) for sustainable risk control.
Initial Stop Loss (SL): The initial SL is tight and calculated dynamically using the 14-period ATR multiplied by an adjustable factor (default 0.7). This size is designed for micro-losses appropriate for scalping and is adapted slightly during high volatility.
Partial Exits & Profit Taking: The position is split into two equal halves for exit management:
50% Position (TP1): Exited at a 1R profit target, where 1R is defined as the exact value of the initial ATR-based SL.
50% Position (Run): Managed by a Trailing Stop Loss (TSL), with trail points also calculated dynamically using the current ATR.
Breakeven (BE) Lock: An optional feature (default: ON) automatically moves the stop loss to Breakeven (entry price plus 1 tick) once the position is 2 ticks in profit, locking in capital protection rapidly.
Daily Risk Controls: The strategy includes mandatory daily money management features (default: ON):
Max Daily Loss Stop: Stops all trading for the day if the cumulative closed P&L reaches -$500 (default).
Profit Protection Floor: If the closed P&L reaches a minimum threshold (default $110), any open position will be closed if the total daily P&L drops back below this floor, locking in minimum daily gains.
3. Strategy Properties & Backtesting Disclosure
The default settings are configured for high-liquidity futures or FX markets. Users must ensure their backtesting environment is realistic:
Risk Per Trade: The ATR-based SL aims to keep the risk per trade below 5% of a reasonable account size, which is critical for sustainable trading.
Contracts/Size: Default quantity is 3 contracts.
Commissions/Slippage: Commissions and slippage MUST be configured by the user in the Strategy Properties window to reflect real-world brokerage fees and execution costs.
Sample Size: The strategy should be run on a dataset that generates over 100 trades for statistically valid results.
MANDATORY DISCLAIMER: Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Trading involves substantial risk. All claims of historical performance are substantiated by the backtesting results on the chart, but these results do not guarantee actual trading outcomes. Keep your language realistic.

ICT Liquidity Sweep Asia/London 1 Trade per High & Low🧠 ICT Liquidity Sweep Asia/London — 1 Trade per High & Low
This strategy is inspired by the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts of liquidity sweeps and market structure, focusing on the Asia and London sessions.
It automatically identifies liquidity grabs (sweeps) above or below key session highs/lows and enters trades with a fixed risk/reward ratio (RR).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⚙️ Core Logic
-Asia Session: 8:00 PM – 11:59 PM (New York time)
-London Session: 2:00 AM – 5:00 AM (New York time)
-The script marks the Asia High/Low and London High/Low ranges for each day.
-When the market sweeps above a session high → potential Short setup
-When the market sweeps below a session low → potential Long setup
-A trade is triggered when the confirmation candle closes in the opposite direction of the sweep (bearish after a high sweep, bullish after a low sweep).
-Only one trade per sweep type (1 per High, 1 per Low) is allowed per session.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
📈 Risk Management
-Configurable Risk/Reward Target (default = 2:1)
-Configurable Position Size (number of contracts)
-Each trade uses a fixed Stop Loss (beyond the wick of the sweep) and a Take Profit calculated from the RR setting.
-All trades are automatically logged in the Strategy Tester with performance metrics.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
💡 Features
✅ Visual session highlighting (Asia = Aqua, London = Orange)
✅ Automatic liquidity line plotting (session highs/lows)
✅ Entry & exit labels (optional visual display)
✅ Customizable RR and contract size
✅ Works on any instrument (ideal for indices, futures, or forex)
✅ Compatible with all timeframes (optimized for 1M–15M)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⚠️ Notes
-Best used on New York time-based charts.
-Designed for educational and backtesting purposes — not financial advice.
-Use as a foundation for further optimization (e.g., SMT confirmation, FVG filter, or time-based restrictions).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🧩 Recommended Use
Pair this with:
-ICT’s concepts like CISD (Change in State of Delivery) and FVGs (Fair Value Gaps)
-Higher timeframe liquidity maps
-Session bias or daily narrative filters

D Money – EMA/TEMA Touch Strategy (Distance) What it’s trying to capture
You want mean-reversion “tags” back to a moving average after price has stretched away and momentum flips:
Bearish setup (short): price has been above EMA(9) for a few bars, then MACD turns bearish, and price is far enough above the EMA (by an adaptive threshold). Exit when price tags the EMA.
Bullish setup (long): price has been below your chosen TEMA rail (actually an EMA of 50/100/200 you pick) for a few bars, then MACD turns bullish, and price is far enough below that TEMA. Exit when price tags that TEMA.
The moving averages it uses
EMA(9) — your fast “tag” for short take-profits.
“TEMA line” input = one of EMA(50) / EMA(100) / EMA(200). (Labelled “Chosen TEMA” in the plot; it’s an EMA rail you pick.)
When it will enter trades
It requires four things per side:
Short (EMA-Touch Short)
MACD bearish cross on the signal bar
If “Require NO MA touch on cross bar” = true, the bar’s low must be above EMA(9), so it didn’t touch EMA on the cross bar (fake-out guard).
Extension/Context: you’ve had at least barsAbove consecutive closes above EMA(9) (default 3), so it’s truly stretched.
Distance test: absolute % distance from price to EMA(9) must be ≥ minDistEMA_eff (an adaptive threshold; details below).
Bounce filter: there was no bullish bounce off the EMA in the last bounceLookback bars (excluding the current one).
If all pass and you’re inside the backtest window → strategy.entry short.
Long (TEMA-Touch Long)
MACD bullish cross on the signal bar
With the same fake-out guard: the bar’s high must be below the chosen TEMA if the guard is on.
Extension/Context: at least barsAbove consecutive closes below the chosen TEMA.
Distance test: absolute % distance from price to TEMA must be ≥ minDistTEMA_eff (adaptive).
Bounce filter: there was no bearish bounce off the TEMA in the last bounceLookback bars.
If all pass and you’re in the window → strategy.entry long.
MACD timing option:
If Pure MACD Timing = ON, it only checks for the cross.
If OFF (default), it also enforces “no touch on the cross bar” if that checkbox is true. That’s your “fake-out” filter.
The adaptive distance threshold (the “secret sauce”)
You can choose how “far enough away” is determined—per side:
Fixed %
Short uses Fixed: Min distance ABOVE EMA (%)
Long uses Fixed: Min distance BELOW TEMA (%)
Auto (ATR%) (default)
Short threshold = max(floorEMA, kAtrShort × ATR%)
Long threshold = max(floorTEMA, kAtrLong × ATR%)
This scales distance by recent volatility, with a floor.
Auto (AvgDist%)
Short threshold = max(floorEMA, kAvgShort × average(|Dist to EMA|) over avgLen)
Long threshold = max(floorTEMA, kAvgLong × average(|Dist to TEMA|) over avgLen)
This adapts to the instrument’s typical stretch away from the rails.
These become minDistEMA_eff and minDistTEMA_eff and are re-computed each bar.
Fake-out / bounce logic (the “don’t get tricked” part)
A touch means the bar’s high/low overlapped the MA ± a small buffer % (touchBufPct).
A bounce is a touch plus a close on the “wrong” side (e.g., touch EMA and close above it on shorts = bullish bounce).
The script blocks entries if a bounce happened within bounceLookback bars (excluding the current signal bar).
Exits & risk
Take profit: when price touches the target MA:
Short TP = touch EMA(9)
Long TP = touch chosen TEMA
Stop loss: either
ATR stop: entry ± (atrMultStop × ATR) (default ON), or
Percent stop: entry × (1±stopPct%)
Time stop: if timeExitBars > 0, close after that many bars if still open.
Quality-of-life features
Backtest window (btFrom, btTo) so you can limit evaluation.
Labels on signal bars that show:
MACD bucket (Small/Moderate/HUGE/Violent — based on % separation on the bar),
the current absolute distance to the target MA,
and the effective minimum the engine used (plus which engine mode).
Data Window fields so you can audit:
abs distance to EMA/TEMA,
the effective min distance used on each side,
ATR%,
average absolute distances (for the AvgDist mode).
Alerts fire when a short/long signal is confirmed.
Optional debug panel to see the exact booleans & thresholds the bar had.
Quick mental model
Are we properly stretched away from the rail (by an adaptive threshold) and held on that side for a few bars?
Did MACD flip the way we want without price already tagging the rail that bar?
Have we avoided recent bounces off that rail (no fake-out)?
→ If yes, enter and aim for a tag back to the rail, with ATR/% stop and optional time stop.
If you want, I can add a simple on-chart “rating” (0–100) similar to your Python scorer (distance beyond min, MACD bucket, extension streak) so you can visually rank signals in TradingView too.
USDJPY Fair Value Gap + Session Strategy🎯 Overview
This strategy combines Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) with session-based order flow analysis, specifically optimized for USDJPY. It identifies price inefficiencies left behind by institutional order flow during high-volatility trading sessions, offering a modern alternative to traditional lagging indicators.
🔬 What Are Fair Value Gaps?
Fair Value Gaps represent areas where aggressive institutional buying or selling created "gaps" in the market structure:
Bullish FVG: Price moves up so aggressively that it leaves unfilled buy orders behind
Bearish FVG: Price moves down so quickly that it leaves unfilled sell orders behind
Research shows approximately 80% of FVGs get "filled" (price returns to the gap) within 20-60 bars, making them highly predictable trading zones.
(see the generated image above)
(see the generated image above)
FVG Detection Logic:
text
// Bullish FVG: Gap between high and current low
bullishFVG = low > high and high > high
// Bearish FVG: Gap between low and current high
bearishFVG = high < low and low < low
🌏 Session-Based Trading
Why Sessions Matter for USDJPY

Gaussian MACD RSI v2Gaussian Filter MACD Strategy (Zero Cross + RSI Gate)
What it does
This strategy evaluates momentum using a Gaussian-smoothed MACD and requires a MACD zero-line cross to confirm trend initiation. A configurable RSI threshold filters weak signals, aiming to reduce whipsaws around the zero line. Entries occur only when momentum and baseline strength agree; exits are triggered by MACD crossing below its signal to capture the meat of the move while avoiding discretionary overrides.
How it works (concepts, not code)
Gaussian MACD: The fast/slow components are smoothed with a Gaussian-style filter to reduce noise relative to standard EMA MACD.
Zero-line confirmation: Longs require MACD to cross above zero, aligning entries with positive momentum regimes.
RSI gate: A threshold (default 50) further filters entries so that only setups with baseline strength qualify.
Exit logic: Positions close when MACD crosses below its signal line, providing an objective exit without trailing logic.
Sources: The script supports standard and Heikin-Ashi-derived sources for traders who prefer alternate preprocessing.
How to use it
Add the strategy to a clean chart.
Keep default settings for initial testing; then adjust the RSI threshold and symbol/timeframe for your market.
Favor liquid instruments where slippage and fills are reliable.
Forward-test and walk-forward before any live use.

AlgoIndex - All Stages (AM & Mid-Day Long/Short)Scope (read first)
ES1! on 5-minute only. The strategy backtests ES fills; alerts can post JSON messages to a Webhook URL you configure. Exits are target-based with ITTC - if ES touches target intra-bar, an exit alert is sent immediately. No fixed ES stop-loss. Positions can also exit at scheduled time-based safety closes (session end, holiday/half-day, or expiration end). You can always close manually.
What this is
One intraday engine with four session presets (“Stages”). Stages only change session windows, trade side, and a few risk/confirmation governors—the core logic is the same. Single invite-only listing; not a multi-post suite.
How it trades
Opening Range (OR): Each Stage begins with a short OR at its session start; that Stage won’t take entries until its OR closes.
VWAP alignment: Trade with flow. Price must align with VWAP (simple pass/fail; optional gap offset).
Real breakouts only: A composite “impulse” check looks for volume expansion, recent momentum, ATR-scaled range, body/range quality, and a clean OR break (or a gap-aware extension).
Entry & target: Entries occur on the signal bar’s close; targets are set in underlying (ES) units.
ITTC (close on touch): If ES touches target intra-bar, ITTC sends a one-shot exit.
Adds (preset by Stage): S1/S2/S3 allow up to two adds on defined ES retraces; S4 disables adds. Adds use a fixed scale-out policy handled internally—no user input required.
Time-based safety closes: At the configured session end (and on holiday/half-day or expiration when applicable), any open position is closed. These are time exits, not price stops.
Why traders use it
A progressive filter for intraday continuity: OR context → VWAP alignment → authentic breakout (impulse) → ITTC to sync ES triggers with options execution. Stage-governed adds keep scaled positions coherent from open to close.
Stages (session templates; one engine)
S1 — 09:30–11:20 NY, Long-only. Standard impulse; adds ON.
S2 — 09:30–11:30 NY, Short-only. Tighter breakout standard; adds ON.
S3 — 11:15–15:15 NY, Long-only. Trade-protection ON; slightly lower underlying target; adds ON.
S4 — 11:30–14:30 NY, Short-only. Alternative trigger governor; slightly lower underlying target; adds OFF.
You can replicate any Stage via session times, side, and thresholds; presets exist for convenience and auditability.

Backtest vs options (read carefully)
Backtests show ES fills on 5-minute bars; options pricing (IV, DTE, spreads, partial fills) isn’t simulated. Because live execution uses options, ES PnL is a directional proxy only.
Evaluate quality via: trade count (target ≥100), win rate, average time-in-trade, MAE/MFE, and holding-time distribution. Do not read ES $ PnL as expected options returns—actual options outcomes depend on strike/DTE, IV regime, spreads, and execution.

Macro Momentum – 4-Theme, Vol Target, RebalanceMacro Momentum — 4-Theme, Vol Target, Rebalance
Purpose. A macro-aware strategy that blends four economic “themes”—Business Cycle, Trade/USD, Monetary Policy, and Risk Sentiment—into a single, smoothed Composite signal. It then:
gates entries/exits with hysteresis bands,
enforces optional regime filters (200-day bias), and
sizes the position via volatility targeting with caps for long/short exposure.
It’s designed to run on any chart (index, ETF, futures, single stocks) while reading external macro proxies on a chosen Signal Timeframe.
How it works (high level)
Build four theme signals from robust macro proxies:
Business Cycle: XLI/XLU and Copper/Gold momentum, confirmed by the chart’s price vs a long SMA (default 200D).
Trade / USD: DXY momentum (sign-flipped so a rising USD is bearish for risk assets).
Monetary Policy: 10Y–2Y curve slope momentum and 10Y yield trend (steepening & falling 10Y = risk-on; rising 10Y = risk-off).
Risk Sentiment: VIX momentum (bearish if higher) and HYG/IEF momentum (bullish if credit outperforms duration).
Normalize & de-noise.
Optional Winsorization (MAD or stdev) clamps outliers over a lookback window.
Optional Z-score → tanh mapping compresses to ~ for stable weighting.
Theme lines are SMA-smoothed; the final Composite is LSMA-smoothed (linreg).
Decide direction with hysteresis.
Enter/hold long when Composite ≥ Entry Band; enter/hold short when Composite ≤ −Entry Band.
Exit bands are tighter than entry bands to avoid whipsaws.
Apply regime & direction constraints.
Optional Long-only above 200MA (chart symbol) and/or Short-only below 200MA.
Global Direction control (Long / Short / Both) and Invert switch.
Size via volatility targeting.
Realized close-to-close vol is annualized (choose 9-5 or 24/7 market profile).
Target exposure = TargetVol / RealizedVol, capped by Max Long/Max Short multipliers.
Quantity is computed from equity; futures are rounded to whole contracts.
Rebalance cadence & execution.
Trades are placed on Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly rebalance bars or when the sign of exposure flips.
Optional ATR stop/TP for single-stock style risk management.
Inputs you’ll actually tweak
General
Signal Timeframe: Where macro is sampled (e.g., D/W).
Rebalance Frequency: Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly.
ROC & SMA lengths: Defaults for theme momentum and the 200D regime filter.
Normalization: Z-score (tanh) on/off.
Winsorization
Toggle, lookback, multiplier, MAD vs Stdev.
Risk / Sizing
Target Annualized Vol & Realized Vol Lookback.
Direction (Long/Short/Both) and Invert.
Max long/short exposure caps.
Advanced Thresholds
Theme/Composite smoothing lengths.
Entry/Exit bands (hysteresis).
Regime / Execution
Long-only above 200MA, Short-only below 200MA.
Stops/TP (optional)
ATR length and SL/TP multiples.
Theme Weights
Per-theme scalars so you can push/pull emphasis (e.g., overweight Policy during rate cycles).
Macro Proxies
Symbols for each theme (XLI, XLU, HG1!, GC1!, DXY, US10Y, US02Y, VIX, HYG, IEF). Swap to alternatives as needed (e.g., UUP for DXY).
Signals & logic (under the hood)
Business Cycle = ½ ROC(XLI/XLU) + ½ ROC(Copper/Gold), then confirmed by (price > 200SMA ? +1 : −1).
Trade / USD = −ROC(DXY).
Monetary Policy = 0.6·ROC(10Y–2Y) − 0.4·ROC(10Y).
Risk Sentiment = −0.6·ROC(VIX) + 0.4·ROC(HYG/IEF).
Each theme → (optional Winsor) → (robust z or scaled ROC) → tanh → SMA smoothing.
Composite = weighted average → LSMA smoothing → compare to bands → dir ∈ {−1,0,+1}.
Rebalance & flips. Orders fire on your chosen cadence or when the sign of exposure changes.
Position size. exposure = clamp(TargetVol / realizedVol, maxLong/Short) × dir.
Note: The script also exposes Gross Exposure (% equity) and Signed Exposure (× equity) as diagnostics. These can help you audit how vol-targeting and caps translate into sizing over time.
Visuals & alerts
Composite line + columns (color/intensity reflect direction & strength).
Entry/Exit bands with green/red fills for quick polarity reads.
Hidden plots for each Theme if you want to show them.
Optional rebalance labels (direction, gross & signed exposure, σ).
Background heatmap keyed to Composite.
Alerts
Enter/Inc LONG when Composite crosses up (and on rebalance bars).
Enter/Inc SHORT when Composite crosses down (and on rebalance bars).
Exit to FLAT when Composite returns toward neutral (and on rebalance bars).
Practical tips
Start higher timeframes. Daily signals with Monthly rebalance are a good baseline; weekly signals with quarterly rebalances are even cleaner.
Tune Entry/Exit bands before anything else. Wider bands = fewer trades and less noise.
Weights reflect regime. If policy dominates markets, raise Monetary Policy weight; if credit stress drives moves, raise Risk Sentiment.
Proxies are swappable. Use UUP for USD, or futures-continuous symbols that match your data plan.
Futures vs ETFs. Quantity auto-rounds for futures; ETFs accept fractional shares. Check contract multipliers when interpreting exposure.
Caveats
Macro proxies can repaint at the selected signal timeframe as higher-TF bars form; that’s intentional for macro sampling, but test live.
Vol targeting assumes reasonably stationary realized vol over the lookback; if markets regime-shift, revisit volLook and targetVol.
If you disable normalization/winsorization, themes can become spikier; expect more hysteresis band crossings.
What to change first (quick start)
Set Signal Timeframe = D, Rebalance = Monthly, Z-score on, Winsor on (MAD).
Entry/Exit bands: 0.25 / 0.12 (defaults), then nudge until trade count and turnover feel right.
TargetVol: try 10% for diversified indices; lower for single stocks, higher for vol-sell strategies.
Leave weights = 1.0 until you’ve inspected the four theme lines; then tilt deliberately.
