## Entry and Exit Strategies

### Dual-Channel System

A key innovation of the Bober XM is its dual-channel approach:

- **Independent Parameters**: Each trade direction has its own channel settings
- **Asymmetric Trading**: Recognizes that markets often behave differently in uptrends versus downtrends
- **Optimized Performance**: Fine-tune settings for both bullish and bearish conditions

This approach allows the bot to adapt to the natural asymmetry of markets, where uptrends often develop gradually while downtrends can be sharp and sudden.

### Channel Types

#### 1. Keltner Channels

Traditional volatility-based channels using EMA and ATR:

| Setting | Long Default | Short Default |
|---------|--------------|---------------|
| **EMA Length** | 37 | 20 |
| **ATR Length** | 13 | 17 |
| **Multiplier** | 1.4 | 1.9 |
| **Source** | low | high |

- **Strengths**:
- Reliable in trending markets
- Less prone to whipsaws than Bollinger Bands
- Clear visual representation of volatility

- **Weaknesses**:
- Can lag during rapid market changes
- Less effective in choppy, non-trending markets

#### 2. Machine Learning Moving Average (MLMA)

Advanced predictive model using kernel regression (RBF kernel):

| Setting | Long Default | Short Default |
|---------|--------------|---------------|
| **Window Size** | 16 | 16 |
| **Forecast Length** | 3 | 3 |
| **Noise Parameter** | 0.43 | 0.44 |
| **Band Multiplier** | 0.6 | 0.5 |
| **Source** | low | high |

- **Strengths**:
- Predictive rather than reactive
- Adapts quickly to changing market conditions
- Better at identifying trend reversals early

- **Weaknesses**:
- More computationally intensive
- Requires careful parameter tuning
- Can be sensitive to input data quality

### Entry Strategies

| Strategy | Description | Ideal Market Conditions |
|----------|-------------|-------------------------|
| **Breakout** | Enters when price breaks through channel bands, indicating strong momentum | High volatility, emerging trends |
| **Pullback** | Enters when price retraces to the middle band after testing extremes | Established trends with regular pullbacks |
| **Mean Reversion** | Enters at channel extremes, betting on a return to the mean | Range-bound or oscillating markets |

#### Breakout Strategy (Default)

- **Implementation**: Enters long when price crosses above the upper band, short when price crosses below the lower band
- **Strengths**: Captures strong momentum moves, performs well in trending markets
- **Weaknesses**: Can lead to late entries, higher risk of false breakouts
- **Optimization Tips**:
- Increase channel multiplier for fewer but more reliable signals
- Combine with volume confirmation for better accuracy

#### Pullback Strategy

- **Implementation**: Enters long when price pulls back to middle band during uptrend, short during downtrend pullbacks
- **Strengths**: Better entry prices, lower risk, higher probability setups
- **Weaknesses**: Misses some strong moves, requires clear trend identification
- **Optimization Tips**:
- Use with trend filters to confirm overall direction
- Adjust middle band calculation for market volatility

#### Mean Reversion Strategy

- **Implementation**: Enters long at lower band, short at upper band, expecting price to revert to the mean
- **Strengths**: Excellent entry prices, works well in ranging markets
- **Weaknesses**: Dangerous in strong trends, can lead to fighting the trend
- **Optimization Tips**:
- Implement strong trend filters to avoid counter-trend trades
- Use smaller position sizes due to higher risk nature

### Confirmation Indicators

#### Pivot Point SuperTrend

Combines pivot points with ATR-based SuperTrend for trend confirmation:

| Setting | Default Value |
|---------|---------------|
| **Pivot Period** | 25 |
| **ATR Factor** | 2.2 |
| **ATR Period** | 41 |

- **Function**: Identifies significant market turning points and confirms trend direction
- **Implementation**: Requires price to respect the SuperTrend line for trade confirmation

#### Weighted Moving Average (WMA)

Provides additional confirmation layer for entries:

| Setting | Default Value |
|---------|---------------|
| **Period** | 15 |
| **Source** | ohlc4 (average of Open, High, Low, Close) |

- **Function**: Confirms trend direction and filters out low-quality signals
- **Implementation**: Price must be above WMA for longs, below for shorts

### Exit Strategies

#### On-Balance Volume (OBV) Based Exits

Uses volume flow to identify potential reversals:

| Setting | Default Value |
|---------|---------------|
| **Source** | ohlc4 |
| **MA Type** | HMA (Options: SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA, HMA) |
| **Period** | 22 |

- **Function**: Identifies divergences between price and volume to exit before reversals
- **Implementation**: Exits when OBV crosses its moving average in the opposite direction
- **Customizable MA Type**: Different MA types provide varying sensitivity to OBV changes:
- **SMA**: Traditional simple average, equal weight to all periods
- **EMA**: More weight to recent data, responds faster to price changes
- **WMA**: Weighted by recency, smoother than EMA
- **RMA**: Similar to EMA but smoother, reduces noise
- **VWMA**: Factors in volume, helpful for OBV confirmation
- **HMA**: Reduces lag while maintaining smoothness (default)

#### ADX Exit Confirmation

Uses Average Directional Index to confirm trend exhaustion:

| Setting | Default Value |
|---------|---------------|
| **ADX Threshold** | 35 |
| **ADX Smoothing** | 60 |
| **DI Length** | 60 |

- **Function**: Confirms trend weakness before exiting positions
- **Implementation**: Requires ADX to drop below threshold or DI lines to cross

## Risk Management System

### Position Sizing

Automatically calculates position size based on account equity and risk parameters:

| Setting | Default Value |
|---------|---------------|
| **Risk % of Equity** | 50% |

- **Implementation**:
- Position size = (Account equity × Risk %) ÷ (Entry price × Stop loss distance)
- Adjusts automatically based on volatility and stop placement

- **Best Practices**:
- Start with lower risk percentages (1-2%) until strategy is proven
- Consider reducing risk during high volatility periods

### Stop-Loss Methods

Multiple stop-loss calculation methods with separate configurations for long and short positions:

| Method | Description | Configuration |
|--------|-------------|---------------|
| **ATR-Based** | Dynamic stops based on volatility | ATR Period: 14, Multiplier: 2.0 |
| **Percentage** | Fixed percentage from entry | Long: 1.5%, Short: 1.5% |
| **PIP-Based** | Fixed currency unit distance | 10.0 pips |

- **Implementation Notes**:
- ATR-based stops adapt to changing market volatility
- Percentage stops maintain consistent risk exposure
- PIP-based stops provide precise control in stable markets

### Trailing Stops

Locks in profits by adjusting stop-loss levels as price moves favorably:

| Setting | Default Value |
|---------|---------------|
| **Stop-Loss %** | 1.5% |
| **Activation Threshold** | 2.1% |
| **Trailing Distance** | 1.4% |

- **Implementation**:
- Initial stop remains fixed until profit reaches activation threshold
- Once activated, stop follows price at specified distance
- Locks in profit while allowing room for normal price fluctuations

### Risk-Reward Parameters

Defines the relationship between risk and potential reward:

| Setting | Default Value |
|---------|---------------|
| **Risk-Reward Ratio** | 1.4 |
| **Take Profit %** | 2.4% |
| **Stop-Loss %** | 1.5% |

- **Implementation**:
- Take profit distance = Stop loss distance × Risk-reward ratio
- Higher ratios require fewer winning trades for profitability
- Lower ratios increase win rate but reduce average profit

## Advanced Filtering System

### Momentum & Trend Filters

#### ADX Based Momentum Filter

| Setting | Default Value |
|---------|---------------|
| **Use Filter** | Enabled |
| **Apply D+/D- Check** | Enabled |
| **ADX Smoothing** | 34 |
| **DI Length** | 28 |
| **ADX Threshold** | 19 |

- **Function**: Ensures trades are taken only in strong trending conditions
- **Implementation**: Requires ADX above threshold for trade entry

#### RSI Filter

Uses Relative Strength Index to avoid overbought/oversold conditions:

| Setting | Default Value | Status |
|---------|---------------|--------|
| **RSI Period** | 14 | Disabled |
| **Overbought Level** | 70 | |
| **Oversold Level** | 30 | |

- **Function**: Prevents entries in potentially exhausted market conditions
- **Implementation**: Blocks long entries when RSI > 70, short entries when RSI < 30

### Volatility Filter

Controls trading during excessive market volatility:

| Setting | Default Value |
|---------|---------------|
| **Measure** | ATR |
| **Period** | 8 |
| **Threshold** | 1.3 |
