⚖️ Calculation Engine

Direction (60%) + Momentum (40%) per TF
Select individual components. Each scores ±1 per TF. Hover any button for explanation.

Select MA types and periods above. Price ≥ MA checks price vs each MA. Alignment checks if MAs are stacked in trend order.
📈 Momentum — How strong is the move?
⚡ Confirmation — Does volume/body confirm the direction?

🎯 Signal Thresholds

Score 0-100%. Buy threshold and above → BUY. Sell threshold and below → SELL. Between → NEUTRAL.
How many TFs must individually agree before a BUY/SELL signal fires. 0 = off (score alone decides). Prevents one dominant TF from faking the signal.
After a signal change, ignore new signals for this many minutes. 0 = off (next signal fires immediately).

💰 Trade Rules

SL follows highest price minus this %
For every X% gain, SL moves up X%

Tests every combination. Green=profit · Red=loss · 🏆=best. Classic tests 4 methods × 8 modifier combos. Modular tests 4 methods × 6 component groups.

📋 Complete Rules & Methodology

1. Two Calculation Modes

Classic: Each TF scored via Direction (60%) + Momentum (40%). Modifiers (Body/Vol) adjust TF weight.
Modular: You pick individual components and configure MA types/periods. Each enabled component returns ±1 per TF. Average of all enabled component scores = TF score. Then TF weight method applies. More granular control.

2. Classic — Direction [-1 to +1]

Candle dir ±0.25 · Close position ±0.25 · Price/EMA21 ±0.25 · EMA21/EMA50 ±0.25

3. Classic — Momentum [-1 to +1]

RSI zone ±0.5 · RSI dir ±0.15 · MACD hist ±0.25 · MACD cross ±0.3 (clamped ±1)

4. Modular Components

Candle: Candle Dir (bull+1/bear−1), Close Pos (maps 0-1→−1 to +1)
Moving Averages: Choose MA types (EMA, SMA, VWAP) and periods (7, 9, 12, 21, 50, 100, 200).
  • Price ≥ MA: Checks price vs each selected Type×Period combo. All above → +1, all below → −1, mixed → proportional.
  • MA Alignment: Checks if MAs stack in trend order (MA7 > MA12 > MA21 for bull). Perfect stack → +1, reversed → −1. Needs 2+ periods.
Momentum: RSI Zone (gradual ±1), RSI Dir (±0.7), MACD Hist (±1), MACD Cross (+1/−1/0)
Confirmation: Body Size (large body confirms candle direction ±1, small→0), Volume Ratio (high vol confirms direction ±1, low→−0.5). These score WITH the candle direction.
Candle Patterns (19): Each individually selectable. Singles: Doji, Hammer, Inv Hammer, Hanging Man, Shooting Star, Marubozu, Spinning Top. Doubles: Bull/Bear Engulfing, Bull/Bear Harami, Piercing, Dark Cloud, Tweezer Top/Bot. Triples: Morning/Evening Star, 3 Soldiers, 3 Crows.
Market Signals: Vol (spike/high/low), MACD (up/down/cross), RSI (OB/OS), Wick rejections, Body/Indecision

5. Signal Thresholds

≥Buy threshold + aligned TFs met → BUY · ≤Sell threshold + aligned TFs met → SELL · Otherwise → NEUTRAL
Min aligned TFs requires that many TFs to individually agree before signal fires (0=off). Cooldown locks signal for N minutes (0=off). Min Volume requires vol ratio above threshold.

6. Trailing Stop Options

None: Fixed SL only.
Breakeven: SL moves to entry when 50% of TP reached.
Trailing %: SL follows highest-price-since-entry minus trail%. Always ratchets up.
Step: For every X% price rises, SL moves up X%. E.g. step=1%: price +2%→SL moves +2% from entry.

7. Trade Execution

Entry: BUY → open at close. Exits: SL (low≤SL), TP (high≥TP), Signal (SELL/NEUTRAL). Spot only, no shorts. Fees on entry+exit.

8. All Combinations Matrix

Classic mode: 4 methods × 8 modifier combos (None/Body/Vol/Ind/Body+Vol/Body+Ind/Vol+Ind/All) = 32 tests.
Modular mode: 4 methods × 6 component groups (Dir/Dir+Mom/Dir+Mom+Confirm/Dir+Mom+Pat/Dir+Mom+Sig/Full) = 24 tests.
Finds which setup works best for the selected coin & period.

9. Limitations

Uses close prices; real execution differs. SL/TP on candle high/low. Historical ≠ future. Educational only.
