Multi-period trend confluence strategy
Fast and slow trend regimes must agree before opening — long or short.
Stochastic %K/%D reversion strategy
Buy a slow stochastic %K cross above %D inside the oversold zone, exit on the mirror.
Indicators
- Trend regime (period 20, slope 3)
- Trend regime (period 100, slope 8)
- Slow Stochastic (period 14, smooth 3)

Strong directional trends
Range-bound
Entry rules
- Long when BOTH trend20 = +1 AND trend100 = +1.
- Short when BOTH trend20 = -1 AND trend100 = -1.
- 8-bar cooldown after exit.
- %K crosses above %D AND
- Both lines are inside the oversold zone (%K < 30).
Exit rules
- Exit immediately when the slower trend100 regime flips to 0 (chop).
- 7% trailing stop on the runner.
- %K crosses back below %D, OR %K pushes above 80 (overbought).
- Hard 2.5% stop; 4% take-profit.
Expected behavior
Trend follower with patience. Long flat periods when the two timeframes disagree, then steady runs when the slow regime turns and the fast one confirms. Drawdowns are deeper because exits wait for chop, not a clean flip.
Higher trade frequency than RSI mean reversion and louder noise. Fits range-bound regimes; produces fast small wins and small losses. Trend regimes can be expensive — the oscillator stays pinned for many bars.

When to pick Multi-period trend confluence strategy
- You expect strong directional trends — the thesis is "Fast and slow trend regimes must agree before opening — long or short."
- You want a long & short bot on 4h–1d candles with a balanced rule-set.
- You're comfortable monitoring 2 indicators (Trend regime (period 20, slope 3), Trend regime (period 100, slope 8)).
Fast and slow trend regimes must agree before opening — long or short.
When to pick Stochastic %K/%D reversion strategy
- You expect range-bound — the thesis is "Buy a slow stochastic %K cross above %D inside the oversold zone, exit on the mirror."
- You want a long-only bot on 5m–1h candles with a balanced rule-set.
- You're comfortable monitoring 1 indicator (Slow Stochastic (period 14, smooth 3)).
