KST Strategy Skyrexio
The strategy goes long when the Know Sure Thing (KST) indicator crosses above its signal while price trades above a chosen moving average and the Alligator jaw. A choppiness index filter can disable entries in ranging markets. Positions are closed using ATR-based stop-loss and take-profit levels.
- Entry Criteria: KST crosses above signal, price above filter MA and Alligator jaw, choppiness below threshold.
- Exit Criteria: Price hits ATR stop-loss or ATR take-profit.
- Indicators: KST, ATR, Moving Average, Alligator jaw, Choppiness Index.
Parameters
CandleType– candle timeframe.AtrStopLoss– ATR multiplier for stop-loss.AtrTakeProfit– ATR multiplier for take-profit.FilterMaType– type of trend filter MA.FilterMaLength– length of trend filter MA.EnableChopFilter– enable choppiness filter.ChopThreshold– choppiness index threshold.ChopLength– choppiness index period.RocLen1..4– ROC lengths for KST.SmaLen1..4– SMA lengths for KST.SignalLength– KST signal SMA length.
