Description
Strategy Type and Trading Approach
Pure short specialist built around market structure – identifies confirmed Lower Highs and Lower Lows to enter exclusively in the sell direction. Rather than reacting to a single signal, entries require a genuinely developing downtrend structure, not just a momentary dip.
Entry Logic and Execution Behavior
Entries are triggered only on a confirmed new Lower High within an already-forming downtrend structure (Lower High + Lower Low both present) – a Lower Low alone is never sufficient to open a trade. Pivot points are confirmed with a configurable swing-strength buffer before being acted on, filtering out short-term noise. An optional multi-factor quality filter (trend, momentum, and directional-strength checks) can additionally be enabled to require a minimum confirmation score before entry, giving direct control over how selective versus frequent the bot trades. The bot only operates within a defined trading session window.
Risk and Money Management Principles
Every position uses a fixed stop-loss and fixed take-profit. A configurable position limit allows controlled pyramiding – additional short entries on fresh valid structure signals, up to a maximum number of simultaneously open positions. An account-level equity safeguard can pause new entries outside defined capital thresholds.
Key Trading Parameters
Stop-loss/take-profit, swing-strength sensitivity, maximum spread, the optional quality-filter threshold, and the maximum number of concurrent positions are all freely configurable.
Who This Bot Is Best Suited For
For traders looking for a focused, structure-based short-only system on volatile instruments, who are comfortable with a directional bias and want fine control over trade frequency versus signal quality.
Backtest Results
Tested across two account sizes with highly consistent results: a 10,000 starting capital grew to 38,836.23 (+288.4%), and a 1,000 starting capital grew to 3,878.71 (+287.9%) over the same test period – demonstrating that performance scales proportionally rather than depending on a specific account size. Past backtest results are no guarantee of future performance; results depend heavily on parameters, time period, and market conditions.
Important Limitations and Usage Notes
The bot trades in one direction only (short) and remains inactive during clear uptrends. Backtest results depend heavily on the chosen time period, spread, and prevailing market conditions. Regular monitoring and periodic parameter review are recommended.
Summary
Risk management uses fixed stop-loss and take-profit levels per position, with configurable limits on pyramiding additional short entries up to a maximum number of simultaneous positions. An equity safeguard can pause new trades if account capital falls outside set thresholds. Key parameters such as stop-loss/take-profit, swing sensitivity, spread limits, quality filter threshold, and position limits are fully configurable.
Backtests over one month showed a net profit of approximately +288% on different account sizes, demonstrating scalable performance. The bot suits traders seeking a focused, structure-based short strategy with fine control over trade frequency and signal quality. It supports market structure, stop-loss, and take-profit management within a high-frequency day trading style.
