Seykota Alt 46: Sector Adaptive enters positions on Donchian channel breakouts, pyramiding additional units at ATR increments up to a configurable maximum. Exits rely on an initial ATR stop, a trailing channel exit, and tiered multi-target take-profits tailored for stocks, ETFs, or commodities. An optional broad-market regime filter restricts trades to favorable macro environments.
