Strategy 02 · ATSB Bot

Trade when everything aligns.

ATSB checks five independent conditions before entering any trade. If fewer than four agree, there is no trade. That single filter removes most of the false signals that kill momentum strategies.

The strategy

Five conditions. One score. One rule.

Every session ATSB evaluates each instrument on its watchlist against five technical conditions. Each one passes or fails: no partial credit, no interpretation. The score decides whether a signal is sent.

1
Price is above the fast moving average (MA5)Short-term momentum is positive
pass / fail
2
Price is above the slow moving average (MA20)The medium-term trend is intact
pass / fail
3
Fast average is above the slow average (MA5 > MA20)Golden-cross alignment: both averages agree
pass / fail
4
Fast average is rising (today's MA5 > yesterday's)Short-term momentum is accelerating, not stalling
pass / fail
5
Slow average is rising (today's MA20 > yesterday's)The longer trend is strengthening, not flattening
pass / fail

Entry needs a score of four or more. Fewer than four, and there is no trade that day. No exceptions.

Worked example · NVDA at $105, MA5 $100, MA20 $95price > MA5      ✓  105 > 100
price > MA20     ✓  105 > 95
MA5 > MA20       ✓  100 > 95
MA5 rising       ✓  +2.00 on the day
MA20 rising      ✓  +0.50 on the day
score 5 / 5  →  enter at 100% size

Position sizing

Stronger signal, larger position.

When all five conditions align the bot commits full size. A score of four still enters, with a smaller position that reflects the weaker conviction. Risk scales with signal quality.

Score 5 / 5 100%

Perfect alignment. The full calculated position size.

Score 4 / 5 75%

A strong signal. Three quarters of the calculated size.

Score ≤ 3 / 5 No entry

Below threshold. The signal is filtered out and nothing is sent.

The research

528 combinations. One winner.

We varied every dimension of the strategy: which averages to use, how wide a stop, what score to require, simple or exponential averages, and whether to trail the stop. One combination consistently came out ahead across the watchlist.

What held up

The MA5 / MA20 pair with a 3% stop and the four-of-five requirement produced the strongest risk-adjusted results across every watchlist symbol over the full five-year window. All 528 combinations were run on the complete dataset for each instrument.

Figures with their drawdowns are on the performance page. The MA simulator runs the same engine, so any of them can be reproduced.

Read it as In-sample

The configuration was chosen after seeing its results. Treat every published number as an upper bound; live performance is normally lower.

Exit logic

Two ways out, both systematic.

ATSB doesn't hold positions indefinitely and doesn't rely on a person to decide when to leave. Two independent rules govern every exit, on top of the fixed 3% stop set at entry.

A
Death crossTrend reversal

When MA5 crosses below MA20 the position is fully exited. If the fast average drops under the slow one, the bullish setup that created the entry no longer exists, so neither does the reason to hold.
B
MA5 pullbackProtecting the gain

When price pulls back to touch MA5 from above, the trailing stop tightens to breakeven. A shallow pullback is survived; a deeper one closes the position without giving back meaningful profit.

Watchlist

Your watchlist.

You can add any ticker you like in setup, and trim the list whenever you want. These are the high-momentum names the rules were validated on, which is where most subscribers start.

Symbol	Instrument	Why it is here
NVDA	NVIDIA Corp	AI-driven mega-trend
TSLA	Tesla Inc	Strong momentum moves
AAPL	Apple Inc	Consistent crossover signals
AMZN	Amazon.com	Steady uptrend patterns
QQQ	Nasdaq 100 ETF	Broad tech exposure

One position per instrument, no adding. Conviction is expressed in size at entry, not by piling in.

Backtest results are simulated on historical data and do not guarantee future performance. Live trading may differ. Read the risk disclosure before subscribing.
