An alternative quantitative trading strategy designed exclusively for calm, ranging market regimes.
Most trading strategies chase trends. EchoCalm does the opposite — it waits patiently for calm markets and exploits temporary deviations from the mean with precision.
Uses ADX to confirm low trend strength. No fighting strong directional moves. This is the key differentiator that makes it truly alternative.
Bollinger Band deviation + RSI oversold/overbought + MACD momentum shift + Volume surge. Four layers of confirmation before any position is taken.
0.5% risk per trade, hard ATR-based stops, dynamic drawdown protection, and position limits. Designed for long-term capital preservation.
All values are optimized for H1 and M15 timeframes on major forex pairs and indices. Easily adjustable in the Expert Advisors.
