Core Technical Components

Four-Layer DMI System

Requires directional alignment across 4 different DMI periods

  • DMI calculated at 4 different lengths (e.g., 8, 50, 110, 190 periods)
  • Long: All 4 DMI+ must be > DMI- simultaneously
  • Short: All 4 DMI- must be > DMI+ simultaneously
  • Filters out weak or conflicting trend signals

RSI Momentum Filter

Confirms directional momentum before entry

  • Long: RSI must be above threshold (e.g., 62)
  • Short: RSI must be below threshold (e.g., 22)
  • Different RSI periods for long vs short setups
  • Day-specific thresholds for optimization

ADX Trend Strength

Validates sufficient trend strength for entry

  • ADX must exceed minimum threshold
  • Separate ADX settings for long and short
  • Day-specific ADX parameters
  • Filters choppy, non-trending conditions

Trade Execution Logic

Entry Requirements

Long Entry

  • RSI above long threshold (day-specific)
  • All 4 DMI+ > DMI- (multi-timeframe alignment)
  • ADX above minimum threshold
  • Within trading window (day-specific start/end times)

Short Entry

  • RSI below short threshold (day-specific)
  • All 4 DMI- > DMI+ (multi-timeframe alignment)
  • ADX above minimum threshold
  • Within trading window (day-specific start/end times)

Exit Scenarios

  • Percentage-based profit target (day-specific, e.g., 0.7-1.5%)
  • Percentage-based stop loss (day-specific, e.g., 0.2-0.4%)
  • Time-based exit at session end (day-specific exit times)
  • All positions closed before overnight
