🦎 Nasdaq Alpha Seeker
Automated Trading System – US TECH 100 (1€) – 30-Minute Timeframe
🎯 Objective
Nasdaq Alpha Seeker is an intelligent breakout strategy designed to capture moderate-tension phases on the NASDAQ (US TECH 100 on IG) using a 30-minute timeframe.
It aims to seize both bullish and bearish impulses triggered by breakouts from tightened Bollinger Bands, while integrating dynamic risk management and an adaptive trailing stop.
⚙️ Operating Principle
The strategy identifies controlled volatility breakouts using a combination of technical indicators:
-
Bollinger Bands to detect compression zones,
-
A filtered RSI to avoid overbought or oversold extremes,
-
Candle structure analysis (body, wick, and size) to ensure signal quality,
-
And a volume filter to validate only those breakouts supported by significant order flow.
The system enters Long or Short positions depending on the detected breakout, remaining inactive in the absence of a clean configuration.
A trailing stop automatically follows the movement, locking in profits during trends while limiting losses when momentum fades.
