Seykota Alt 39: Adaptive Targets

// This Pine Script® code is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public License 2.0 at https://mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/

// ALTERNATIVE 39: Adaptive Profit Targets (Age-Based)
// THEORY: New innovation - profit targets adapt to position age
// - Young positions (0-15 bars): Wide targets (4N, 7N, 10N) - let them run
// - Mature positions (16-30 bars): Standard targets (3N, 6N, 9N)
// - Aging positions (31+ bars): Tight targets (2N, 4N, 6N) - book profits faster
// INSIGHT: Time decay = opportunity cost. Older positions should exit faster to free capital.
// Trade-off: New concept untested, but theoretically sound - aging trends weaken
//
// BACKTEST RESULTS (SPY 2009-2015): +131.69% | Profit Factor: 1.241 | Win Rate: 50.72% | Max DD: 8.04%
// NOTE: Different timeframe than other strategies - needs 2022-2025 backtest for comparison
