Adaptive Cyber Cycle Strategy
This strategy utilizes the Adaptive Cyber Cycle oscillator by John Ehlers. It calculates a smoothed price cycle and uses the previous value as a trigger line. A long position is opened when the cycle crosses above the trigger, and a short position is opened on a downward cross.
Details
- Entry Criteria:
- Long: cycle > previous cycle.
- Short: cycle < previous cycle.
- Long/Short: Both.
- Exit Criteria:
- Opposite signal closes and reverses the position.
- Stops: None by default; protection can be enabled separately.
- Default Values:
Alpha= 0.07Candle Type= 1-minute time frame
- Filters:
- Category: Trend following
- Direction: Both
- Indicators: Adaptive Cyber Cycle
- Stops: Optional
- Complexity: Moderate
- Timeframe: Intraday
