Is This Strategy For You?
Trend Following
You want a bot that identifies and follows strong market trends rather than trading against them.
Adaptive Hold Periods
You're OK with hold time being decided by the market regime — minutes during reversals, days during strong trends.
Higher Risk Tolerance
You understand that momentum trading carries medium-to-high risk and can handle drawdowns.
How It Works
The bot scans for emerging momentum
It runs an adaptive multi-indicator engine — ADX, Stochastic Oscillator, Williams %R, and multi-timeframe moving averages — to detect the current market regime in real time.
It confirms the trend before entering
The bot classifies the market into one of four regimes (trending up, trending down, ranging, high volatility) and only enters when the indicators align with sufficient conviction.
It rides the trend with active management
The position stays open for as long as the trend regime persists. A trailing stop activates once you're ahead, locking in profit while letting winners run.
It exits on its own terms
The position closes automatically when stop-loss hits, take-profit target is reached, the trailing stop triggers, or the regime flips bearish — whichever comes first.
What to Expect
Variable hold time
Regime-driven — quick exits in reversals, longer holds in strong trends
One position per bot
Single concentrated trade, sized adaptively from 20% to 55% of capital
Defined risk per trade
Stop-loss and take-profit set on entry, with trailing protection
Medium-to-high risk
Trend exposure remains exposed to fast reversals
Risks to Consider
Every strategy has trade-offs. Here is what you should know before starting.
Trends can reverse suddenly
Momentum can shift without warning. Positions held for days are more exposed to unexpected reversals than short-term trades.
Position sizing is concentrated
The bot allocates up to 55% of your capital to a single trade in strong-trend regimes. A bad call can produce a meaningful drawdown — size your starting capital accordingly.
Underperforms in range-bound markets
When the market moves sideways without clear direction, momentum signals become unreliable.
When This Strategy May Not Be Ideal
If you prefer quick, intraday trades
If you want a fully passive, hands-off strategy
If you are uncomfortable with multi-day drawdowns
If your capital is below €500 (stop-loss becomes noise)

Common Questions
How is momentum trading different from scalping?
Scalping targets small, fast profits within minutes and trades constantly. The momentum bot is selective — it waits for a confirmed trend regime, then takes one concentrated position with a defined stop-loss and take-profit, holding until the trade structure breaks.
How much capital do I need?
Technically the bot runs from €100, but because it sizes positions as a percentage of capital (up to 55%), we recommend at least €500–€1,000 so each trade is meaningful and your stop-loss isn't shaved down to noise.
Can I test it before using real money?
Yes. You can run the bot in paper mode using real market data, without risking any capital.
