3.2 Configuration
The following parameters are user-configurable:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
marketType | Instrument class (Crypto, Forex, Stocks, Futures) |
tradeDir | Allowed direction (Long, Short, Both) |
stopMultiplier | ATR multiple used to calculate stop distance |
targetMultiplier | ATR multiple used to calculate target distance |
requireSidewaysBase | Enables compression filter |
requireGreenBars | Enables bullish candle filter |
greenBarsRequired | Number of prior bullish candles required |
Several internal parameters (lookback length, ATR length, volume thresholds, and compression thresholds) adjust automatically based on marketType and chart timeframe.
3.2.1 Timeframe Policy
The reference implementation is evaluated primarily on the following timeframe for stocks:
- Primary timeframe: 1 Day
Secondary experimentation has been conducted on:
- Secondary timeframe: 4 Hour
The daily timeframe is treated as the baseline for screening alignment and breakout structure. The 4-hour timeframe is used for comparative testing and higher-frequency signal evaluation.
Dynamic parameter presets are applied for supported timeframe values. Other timeframes fall back to manual input defaults.
