Descrizione
Welcome to Algorion SAL-08, a strictly quantitative, logic-driven breakout engine engineered exclusively for the NASDAQ 100 (US Tech 100) index.
Unlike grid, martingale, or over-optimized curve-fitted bots, SAL-08 exploits a documented, structural market inefficiency: the sheer volume and momentum injected into the US Tech market during the New York Wall Street Cash Open.
Backed by rigorous 5.6-year tick-interpolated backtesting (Jan 2021-Aug 2026) and 1,000-iteration Monte Carlo simulations, SAL-08 is built for institutional capital protection and prop-firm passing.
THE STRATEGY: HOW IT WORKS
- The Pre-Market Box: The bot calculates a precise mathematical ceiling and floor during the pre-market liquidity building phase (12:00 UTC-14:30 UTC).
- The ATR Buffer: It does not buy exactly at the high. It adds a dynamic buffer based on the Daily Average True Range (ATR) to filter out fake-outs and trap doors.
- The Macro Filter: It checks the Daily (D1) 20 & 200 EMAs. If the macro trend is broken, the bot stays out.
- The Surge Entry: At the NY Open, if price violently breaks the pre-market box + ATR buffer, the bot executes a market order to ride the institutional momentum.
- The Zero-Swap Exit: The bot utilizes a Hard Intraday Close (20:00 UTC) to liquidate positions before the daily rollover, avoiding swap fees and overnight gap risk.
CORE FEATURES
- Empirical Long-Bias Engine: 5 years of data proves shorting intraday NASDAQ breakouts has a negative expected value. SAL-08 trades Long-Only to align with passive ETF inflows and structural US market bias.
- Prop-Firm Guardian System: Hard-coded daily loss limits and maximum peak drawdown limits. If equity drops past your threshold, the bot halts all trading.
- Dynamic Risk Sizing: Enter your desired risk (e.g., 1.0%), and the bot calculates the exact lot size based on the specific stop-loss distance in points for that day's trade.
- Smart Breakeven Engine: Once price reaches 1R (1x your risk), the stop-loss is mathematically locked to Breakeven (+10 ticks) to ensure a risk-free trade.
- Macro News Blackout Filter: Automatically halts trading on high-impact macro days (NFP Fridays, pre-NFP Thursdays, and custom input dates like FOMC/CPI).
- Live Interactive HUD: A beautiful on-chart dashboard displaying daily Profit, pre-market levels, Win Rate, and real-time risk profile status.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Q: What Timeframe and Asset should I use?
A: You must attach the bot to the M15 chart on the NASDAQ 100 (Broker ticker might be NAS100, USTEC, US100, or NDX).
Q: Does it trade every day?
A: No. The bot filters out low-volatility "chop" days, days where the daily macro trend is broken, and major news days. Expect roughly 50 to 65 high-quality trades per year.
Q: Why does the bot only take long trades?
A: Extensive data mining from 2021 to 2026 proved that shorting downward opening breakouts on the NASDAQ results in a Profit Factor of 0.99 (losing money after spreads). Downward breakouts are frequently "bear traps" that result in violent V-shaped short squeezes. Long-only guarantees alignment with the overarching market structure.
Q: Can I run this on a Prop Firm?
A: Absolutely. Select the Conservative preset. In 5.6 years of backtesting, the Conservative preset never exceeded a 7.84% Max Equity Drawdown, keeping you perfectly safe from standard 10% trailing drawdown rules.
Q: What is the minimum account size?
A: This depends on your broker's minimum lot size for indices. Generally, a minimum of $500 - $1,000 is required if your broker supports micro-lots (0.01) on NAS100.
Q: Does it hold trades overnight?
A: No. The bot utilizes a Hard Intraday Close at 20:00 UTC. This is a "Zero-Swap" strategy. You sleep with no open exposure to market gaps.
