π¦ Nasdaq Alpha Seeker
Automated Trading System β US TECH 100 β 30-Minute Timeframe
π― 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.
βοΈ 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.
