Seykota Alt 1: Adaptive Volatility calculates an ATR percentile rank across a rolling lookback period, shifting dynamically between tighter breakout channels with smaller stops during low-volatility phases and wider channels with larger stops during high-volatility environments. The strategy scales into winning positions via pyramiding at set ATR increments up to a configurable unit limit, sizes units based on fixed risk percentage, and can optionally filter entries with a higher-timeframe market moving average.

This strategy plots VWMA-based Bollinger bands on the 1-minute ES futures price chart for volatility analysis and potential breakout identification. It calculates dynamic long and short stop loss and take profit levels using percentage inputs relative to entry
This strategy runs on the price chart and enters long when a fast simple moving average crosses above a slow one, and short on the opposite cross, while closing the other side. Entries also need ATR above a filter, a pullback check, a minimum candle-body chang
This strategy trades long breakouts of a fast and a slow moving average on the price chart. It opens a long position when price crosses above either average, using a percentage of equity as size. It reduces the position by a set share when the high reaches the
This strategy executes breakout trades using two Donchian Channels alongside an optional 200-period EMA trend filter. Entries trigger when the price sets a new highest high or lowest low over the primary Donchian Channel period. Exits are managed via a shorter
This strategy implements a channel breakout system directly on the main price chart. It calculates highest highs and lowest lows over configurable entry and exit periods using historical candles. A long entry triggers when the close breaks above the entry chan
This strategy combines channel breakout concepts with an ATR-ADX volatility trailing framework and multi-timeframe moving averages. It evaluates trend conditions using configurable moving average types, including SMA, EMA, Hull MA, and Tilson T3, paired with d
