What kind of market does this work best in?
1.Strong, persistent trends
2.Index ETFs, sector ETFs, large-cap stocks
3.Bull markets or strong sector rotations
It will underperform in:
Sideways markets
Choppy ranges
High-frequency reversals
The market condition this is looking for " A healthy, established uptrend"
It only goes LONG (no shorts) and only when all of these are true:
Short-term trend is up:
14-day moving average > 50-day moving average
Long-term trend is bullish:
Price is above the 200-day moving average
Primary trend is improving:
200-day MA is rising (today > yesterday)
Volume is normal (not dead, not crazy):
Avoids illiquid days and blow-off spikes
Translation: “I only buy when the market is already strong and behaving normally.”
It can hold up to 4 positions at the same time
Designed for multiple signals across time, not over-trading
You choose a Risk % per trade (default = 1%)
That means: If the stop loss is hit, you lose ~1% of your total account
It uses ATR (Average True Range):
ATR measures how much the market normally moves
Stop loss = 2.5 × ATR
Position size =
(1% of account) ÷ stop distance
So:
Volatile market → smaller position
Calm market → bigger position
Exit #1: Trailing ATR stop (main exit)
