Game Theory Trading Strategy

Game Theory Trading Strategy blends herd behavior analysis, liquidity trap detection, institutional flow and Nash equilibrium zones to trade contrarian and momentum moves.

The strategy watches RSI extremes and volume spikes to spot herd buying or selling. Liquidity traps around recent highs and lows plus accumulation/distribution and smart money bias refine entries. Price bands built from a moving average and standard deviation define Nash equilibrium for reversion trades. Position size adapts when price is near equilibrium or institutional volume appears.

Details

    • InstMaLength = 21
    • NashPeriod = 100
    • NashDeviation = 0.02
    • UseStopLoss = True
    • StopLossPercent = 2
