Overview
Steadx utilizes multiple entry models, including Order Block and Fair Value Gap confluences, the Unicorn model, and liquidity sweeps during specific sessions. The system filters trades using higher-timeframe trend analysis and requires minimum risk-to-reward ratios. Risk management features include percentage-based lot sizing, daily drawdown protection, and an anti-revenge cooldown timer. It manages positions by moving stop losses to break-even once specific targets are reached and uses structural stop loss placement for every trade.
- Multi-strategy SMC and ICT implementation
- Liquidity sweep and Point of Interest detection
- Daily drawdown and progressive risk management
- Structural stop loss and break-even automation
- Visual dashboard with market structure markers
