Momentum Trading
Enter confirmed directional moves and ride them until momentum decays.
Setup Conditions
Regime Filter (Required)
get_indicators(indicator_code="dmi", symbol=, exchange=, interval=)| ADX Value | Action | | --- | --- | | >30 | Ideal -- full size | | 25-30 | Valid -- standard size | | 20-25 | Weak -- reduced size only | | 40
Workflow
1. Check Regime
get_indicators(indicator_code="dmi", symbol=, exchange=, interval=)ADX must be >25. If , exchange=, interval=, date=) getindicators(indicatorcode="rsi", symbol=, exchange=, interval=) getindicators(indicatorcode="macd", symbol=, exchange=, interval=) getindicators(indicatorcode="mfi", symbol=, exchange=, interval=)
All three must align: RSI trending from 50 toward extreme, MACD histogram expanding, volume above average. Check for accelerating candle sizes and HH/HL (bullish) or LH/LL (bearish) structure.
### 3. Entry
**Breakout**: Enter on breakout candle close, stop below breakout level. **Pullback**: Wait for 38-50% retracement, enter on completion, stop below pullback low.
### 4. Report to Orchestrator
ADX value and trend direction, RSI/MACD/volume readings, entry type, exhaustion signals, stop and target levels.
## Key Rules
- NEVER take momentum trades when ADX < 20 -- signals whipsaw in ranging markets
- NEVER enter without volume confirmation -- price can move on low volume temporarily but real momentum requires above-average volume
- NEVER chase extended moves at extremes -- best entries are pullbacks within the trend
- NEVER hold through momentum reversal (MACD shrinking + volume dropping + smaller candles = exit)
- NEVER fight momentum direction -- trend persistence is more common than reversal

- **pullback-trading** -- retracement entries use pullback principles for timing
