TrendPilot AI v2 — Adaptive Trend Day Trading Strategy

Overview
TrendPilot AI v2 is a structured, rules-based day trading strategy that identifies and follows market momentum using a sophisticated blend of technical indicators. Optimized for 15-minute and higher timeframes on high market cap cryptocurrencies (AAVE, SOL, ETH, BCH, BTC) to minimize manipulation risks, it adapts to changing market conditions with dynamic risk management and controlled re-entry logic to maximize trend participation while minimizing noise.

Core Logic

• Multiple EMA Trend Confirmation — Uses three Exponential Moving Averages (fast, medium, slow) to detect robust bullish, bearish, or neutral trends, ensuring trades align with the prevailing market direction.
  
• ADX Momentum Filter — Employs an ADX-based filter to confirm strong trends, avoiding entries in choppy or low-momentum markets.
  
• Smart Entry Filter — Optional ATR-based buffer (period 14, multiplier 1.5) around the fast EMA prevents entries at overextended prices, enhancing trade precision.
  
• Flexible Exit System — Offers multiple exit options: fixed take-profit (default 1.7 offset), trend-reversal exits, or ATR-based trailing stops (period 14, multiplier 2.0), with secure modes requiring candle closes for confirmation to gain Max Profit.
  
• Controlled Re-Entry Logic — Allows re-entries after take-profit or price-based stop-loss with configurable wait periods (default 6 bars), max attempts (default 2), and EMA touch requirements (fast, medium, or slow).
  
• State-Aware Risk Management — Tracks trend states and recent exits to adapt entries, with daily trade limits (default 5 long/short) and loss cooldowns (default 2 stop-losses) for disciplined trading.
  

How to Use & Configuration
Markets & Timeframes

• Works with high market cap cryptocurrencies (AAVE, SOL, ETH, BCH, BTC).
  
• Optimized for intraday charts (15m–4h) but adaptable to higher timeframes (e.g., 1h, 4h).
  

Trade Direction Settings

• Dual Trades — Trades both long and short, quickly re-aligning after trend reversals.
  
• Long Only — Ignores bearish signals, ideal for bullish markets or strong uptrends.
  
• Short Only — Ignores bullish signals, suited for bearish markets or downtrends.
  

Risk Management Settings
Stop Loss Types

• Trend Reversal — Closes positions when an opposite trend signal is confirmed (default).
  
• Fixed Offset — Static stop at 3.5 offset from entry price (adjustable).
  
• ATR Based — Dynamic trailing stop using ATR (period 14, multiplier 2.0), adjusting to market volatility.
  
• Secure SL Mode — Optional setting to trigger price-based stops only on candle closes, reducing false exits.
  
• Maximum recommended risk per trade is 5–10% of account equity.
  
• Trade size is configurable (default 20 units) to match individual risk appetite.
  

Take Profit Options

• Fixed Offset — Predefined target at 1.7 offset from entry (adjustable, e.g., 2.5 for SOL).
  
• Secure TP Mode — Exits only when a candle closes beyond the target, ensuring reliable profit capture.
  
• Trend Reversal — Exits on opposite trend signals when fixed TP is disabled, ideal for riding longer trends.
  

Trade Management Controls

• Smart Entry Filter — Optional ATR-based buffer (period 14, multiplier 1.5) prevents chasing overextended prices.
  
• Max Re-Entries — Limits continuation trades per trend cycle (default 2).
  
• Daily Trade Limits — Caps long/short trades per day (default 5 each) for disciplined trading.
  
• Daily Loss Cooldown — Pauses trading after a set number of stop-losses (default 2) per day.
  
• Max Bars in Trade — Closes positions after a set duration (default 1440 bars) to prevent stale trades.
  

Configuration Steps

• Apply the strategy to your chosen symbol (e.g., AAVE/USDT, SOL/USDT) and timeframe (15m or higher).
  
• Select Trade Direction mode (Dual, Long Only, or Short Only).
  
• Set Stop Loss (Trend Reversal, Fixed Offset, or ATR Based) and Take Profit (fixed or trend-reversal).
  
• Adjust Smart Entry Filter, Max Re-Entries, Daily Limits, and Loss Cooldown as needed.
  
• Test across multiple market conditions using the performance panel (top-right, showing Total Trades, Wins, Losses, Win Rate).
  
• Enables automated trading via webhook integration with platforms like Binance Futures.
  
• Set up alerts for long/short entries (🟢 Long, 🔴 Short) and exits (🎯 Max TP, 🛑 Max SL, 🚨 Force Exit).
  

Backtesting Guidance

• Use realistic commission (default 0.01%) and slippage (default 2 ticks) matching your broker and instrument.
  
• Validate performance over long historical periods (e.g., 3–6 months) to ensure >100 trades across different market regimes.
  
• Avoid curve-fitting by testing on multiple high market cap coins (AAVE, SOL, ETH, BCH, BTC) and avoiding over-optimization.
  
• EMA and ATR parameters are set to balanced, industry-standard values for realistic backtesting.
