Seykota Alt 1: Fast Breakout (S1) opens long or short positions upon 20-bar Donchian channel breakouts and exits on opposing 10-bar Donchian extremes. Position sizing is calculated dynamically from ATR (N) to risk a set percentage of equity per unit. The strategy pyramids up to a user-defined number of units at half-ATR intervals, protects positions with a 2-ATR stop, and offers an optional higher-timeframe moving average market filter.
