Squeeze Break Sniper
Waits for the market to go quiet, then buys the break out of the quiet stretch.
- Contract
- Higher/Lower
- Default market
- Volatility 100 Index
- Pace
- Longer scans. The channel has to be unusually narrow and price has to break out of it at the same moment, which lines up rarely. Raise the squeeze ratio to trade more often.
How it works
- Bollinger Bands spread apart when a market is busy and close up when it is still.
- A narrow channel says the recent stretch has been quiet.
- Higher/Lower settles against a barrier away from the entry price, and that barrier is cheapest when the market has been still.
- The bot compares the current channel against the same channel over a much longer stretch, so the comparison suits whatever market it is on.
- It buys only when the channel is narrow and price has pushed above the top of it at the same time.
- Buys Higher only
- Needs a narrow channel
- Needs a break above it
- Loss cooldown
- Martingale with cap
Staking
It ships with a 1.6x martingale, sized to win back a losing run of up to 4 trades inside its stop loss, with a max stake of 5. Untick Use martingale on its card to stake the same amount on every trade.
