ShiftAlgo is a trend-following trading robot (cBot) that uses a dual moving average (MA) crossover strategy enhanced with volume and time filters. It detects shifts in market momentum by opening long positions when a fast MA crosses above a slow MA and short positions when the fast MA crosses below the slow MA. The cBot supports major forex pairs (e.g., EURUSD, GBPUSD), XAUUSD (gold), and various indices, optimized for H1, H4, and D1 timeframes.

Key features include customizable MA types and periods, a minimum crossover distance filter to reduce false signals, volume confirmation to validate entries, and a time-based trading hours filter. Risk management tools comprise a dynamic stop loss based on recent swing highs/lows, automatic breakeven protection once profit targets are reached, and a money management system with balance-based position sizing. The cBot supports multiple concurrent positions and displays visual crossover signals on the chart.

ShiftAlgo incorporates a custom fitness function for genetic optimization, using a robustness penalty to improve parameter reliability. Users are advised to perform walk-forward analysis by leaving a gap at the end of optimization periods to validate out-of-sample performance. Suggested leverage is 1:30 or higher, with a recommended account size of $1,000 or more. The strategy targets medium to long-term trend trading with automatic risk controls.
