Squeeze Momentum Signals, Trade Controls, and Regime Backtesting

Summary

This document describes a configurable strategy built around the Squeeze Momentum indicator. It offers several signal approaches, including momentum moving-average crossovers and crossings of the zero line, and a later update adds selectable logic types plus an option to require that a squeeze is active. Long and short trades can be enabled or disabled independently. The script also provides separate take-profit and stop-loss controls for each direction and a custom date range for historical testing.

The author recommends examining performance in rising, falling, and sideways periods separately, then tuning long and short risk and reward settings independently. This is a testing framework and strategy description, not evidence that any configuration is profitable: the document gives no performance statistics or validated parameter set. Results can vary by market and period, and the available material does not specify enough implementation detail to assess signal timing, costs, or execution assumptions. Squeeze and momentum signals may also behave differently across market regimes.

Key ideas

• The strategy provides multiple ways to derive entries from squeeze momentum signals.
• A setting can restrict entries to periods when the indicator identifies an active squeeze.
• Long and short trading can be switched independently, with separate stop and target settings.
• Custom date selection supports comparisons across rising, falling, and sideways market periods.
• The document recommends regime-aware testing but supplies no evidence of profitable settings.
