Overview

Seykota Alt 38: Triple Combo executes long and short trades, adding fractional units when relative strength index values confirm momentum. Exits rely on average true range multiples, featuring an initial stop loss, a breakeven trigger, trailing stops, and multi-tier profit targets. Users can adjust channel lengths, momentum thresholds, ATR parameters, maximum pyramiding units, and an optional higher-timeframe regime filter. Performance depends on sustained trends, making it prone to whipsaws during sideways consolidation.
