Megacap Tech Strategy with Macro Filters and Adaptive Sizing
Summary
The excerpt presents a configurable strategy framework for megacap technology stocks, with controls for entries, sizing, and downside risk. It includes a global macro pause, a VIX threshold that blocks new buys, and an optional earnings blackout guard. For loss control, users can select an ATR-based hard stop or a fixed percentage stop. The sizing section sets a dollar budget per trade, adjusts quantity for a price buffer, and includes a commission-related entry filter. Multipliers can increase or reduce allocation based on leader confidence or a VIX panic condition.
A further component enables quarterly self-tuning of oversold and overbought thresholds, with separate warm-start percentiles before the longer tuning period is available. The visible excerpt also specifies execution and backtest settings, including recalculation on ticks and bar magnification. However, the document ends partway through an input description and provides no complete entry or exit rules, tuning implementation, test results, or performance measures. It therefore teaches the framework’s risk and sizing controls, but is insufficient to assess the complete strategy or its effectiveness.
Key ideas
- The framework can block new buys when a VIX threshold is exceeded and can pause trading globally.
- Loss control is configurable through either an ATR-based stop or a fixed percentage stop.
- Trade quantity is based on a dollar budget, a price buffer, and a regime multiplier.
- An optional filter skips trades when estimated movement is small relative to commissions.
- The visible excerpt describes warm-start and longer-cycle tuning thresholds but does not show the complete strategy or its results.
