This strategy learns from historical binary price patterns and estimates the probability of future upward or downward movement. When the probability exceeds a user-defined threshold, the strategy opens a market position in that direction. Collected statistics decay over time via a forgetting factor to give more weight to recent behavior. The system can optionally move stop levels when new signals appear and supports a trailing stop based on price steps.
Details
Entry Criteria:
Long: Probability of upward move ≥ ProbabilityThreshold.
Short: Probability of downward move ≥ ProbabilityThreshold.
Stops: Optional trailing stop with symmetrical stop-loss and take-profit.
Default Values:
PatternSize = 10
ProbabilityThreshold = 0.8
ForgetRate = 1.05
Trailing = 0 (disabled)
Filters:
Category: Pattern recognition
Direction: Both
