Backtest on real historical prices from Jul 2, 2026 to Oct 2, 2026: signals on completed bars, filled at the next bar's open, net of typical spread, commission and overnight financing. Past and backtested results are not a reliable indicator of future results. (Alpaca)
Methodology
- Long on a close above the highest high of the previous 55 bars, short on a close below the lowest low.
- Exit when price breaks the opposite 20-bar channel.
- Protective stop: exit if price moves 3× ATR(14) against the entry; no re-entry in the same direction until the signal flips.
- Trades both directions (long and short).
- Position size targets 12% annualised volatility (risk level 3/5), capped at 5:1 leverage per instrument. Costs: live bid/ask spread, commission and overnight financing.
