This document outlines a proposed position-sizing engine for algorithmic trading. It combines Kelly sizing, which uses estimated win rate and payoff ratio, with volatility adjustment based on Average True Range and tick value. The stated goal is to reduce…
The Simple_Grid expert adviser places pending orders at preset intervals above and below the current price. Users choose either stop orders or limit orders, set the distance to the first order, the grid spacing, the number of orders on each side, a…
This expert adviser seeks pivot points using only the current and previous bars, then enters market orders when price appears to attempt a trend reversal. It does not use technical indicators. Orders can have configured take-profit and stop-loss levels;…
The article explains a countertrend martingale approach in which a trader adds to a losing position at set price intervals, hoping a later reversal will recover accumulated losses. It works through a foreign exchange example with equal size additions and…
This stock selection screen combines a recent price movement filter with listing history and trading activity. It seeks shares whose daily amplitude exceeds the stated threshold, that have been listed for more than a year, and whose previous day’s trading…
This article explains why trend-following systems often endure repeated small losses in pursuit of occasional large gains. It advises traders to select a trend horizon that fits their tolerance, comparing possible timeframes through backtests, and to define…
This article outlines how an early-stage hedge fund or CTA can prepare to seek institutional allocations. It describes three fundraising routes: the manager’s professional network, third-party marketers, and prime brokers’ capital introduction services. It…
The document proposes a Chinese equity screen that combines daily price amplitude above 1, a shrinking negative MACD histogram on a 15-minute chart, and appearance on the previous day’s Dragon-Tiger List, a market activity listing. It frames amplitude as a…
This stock-selection proposal combines three filters: daily amplitude above one percent, a proxy for afternoon large-order net inflow, and a gain below six percent at the 9:25 observation. The stated aim is to find shares with notable movement and buying…
The proposed stock screen selects shares whose turnover rate is between 3% and 12%, that were listed in the current year, and whose actual turnover on the referenced prior day is between 3% and 28%. The article frames these conditions as a way to find…
The SSL Hybrid combines several moving average channels with ATR bands to show trend direction, possible continuation entries, exits, and volatility. SSL1 acts as the baseline trend signal: its color indicates bullish or bearish conditions, while a neutral…
This Chinese A-share screening idea selects stocks whose intraday high-low range exceeds 1%, whose day low is between 4% and 5% below the prior close, and whose MACD is above zero. The rationale combines elevated volatility and a sharp intraday decline with…
This proposed stock screen selects shares with a daily high-low range above 1, three consecutive limit-up sessions as of the previous day, and at least two limit-up events during the prior 500 days. The post interprets the range as a sign of activity and the…
This proposed Chinese stock screen looks for a daily price range above 1, a ratio between 0.5 and 2 formed from the previous day’s turnover rate and the current auction volume relative to the previous day’s volume, and a current large-order accumulation…
This Chinese stock screen combines a positive MACD reading, an external-to-internal trading volume ratio above 1.3, and more than two limit-up days in the prior ten days. It ranks qualifying stocks by percentage gain, favoring recent price strength and…
This brief coding question outlines a way to calculate fund performance statistics from a price series. It first derives periodic returns from price changes, then uses a performance-analysis library to compute cumulative return, annualized return, Sharpe…
This screening proposal combines three conditions: price amplitude above one, a value for today’s control measure above 21, and a date in or after 2021. The description frames the first two conditions as filters for more volatile stocks and stocks with…
This stock-screening proposal targets companies in the metaverse industry that have had more than two limit-up sessions in the recent ten-day window and have just formed a KDJ golden cross. It calls for screening before 10:00 on each trading day and…
The document explains that MetaTrader 5 exposes generic, loss-side, and profit-side tick values for each symbol, and that these values may not be identical. This matters when an expert advisor calculates trade size from a risk budget: using a tick value that…
The document proposes a Chinese equity screening approach that selects robot concept stocks with daily amplitude above 1%, float capitalization below 10 billion, and no ST designation. It specifies screening before 10 a.m. and says a five-step limit-up…
