Nevalyashka Stopup Strategy

This strategy alternates position direction after each trade, mimicking the "Nevalyashka" toy that flips sides. It uses a martingale approach: if a trade closes at a loss, the stop-loss and take-profit distances for the next trade are multiplied by a coefficient. After a profitable trade, distances reset to their base values and the strategy can optionally stop trading.

Initial direction is short. Every time a position is closed, the new position is opened in the opposite direction with the preconfigured volume.

Details

  • Entry Criteria:
    • First trade sells at market.
    • Subsequent trades always enter in the opposite direction of the previous closed trade.
  • Long/Short: Both.
  • Exit Criteria:
    • Position is closed when price reaches the take-profit or stop-loss distance from entry.
  • Stops: Yes, fixed stop-loss and take-profit in points. Distances grow by the martingale coefficient after losses.
  • Default Values:
    • StopLossPoints = 150
    • TakeProfitPoints = 50
    • OrderVolume = 0.1
    • MartingaleCoeff = 1.5
    • StopAfterProfit = false
  • Filters:
    • Category: Reversal / Martingale
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: None
    • Stops: Yes
    • Complexity: Simple
    • Timeframe: Any
    • Seasonality: No
    • Neural networks: No
    • Divergence: No
    • Risk level: High
