VWolf – Apex Gate

Overview

VWolf – Apex Gate is a trend-continuation system that blends a Pivot-weighted Supertrend (PVT ST) with an optional **Normal Supertrend** trigger, all **gated by a 200-EMA directional filter. The strategy’s risk controls are volatility-aware—**stops and targets scale by ATR**, and quantity is computed from a fixed **% risk per trade**. Clear **Backtest / Forwardtest** modes with date windows let you validate on segmented datasets before committing to live use.

Recommended Use

- **Markets:** High-liquidity instruments (indices, large-cap equities, liquid FX and major crypto pairs) where trends and pullbacks are clean.
- **Timeframes:** 15m–1h for active intraday; 4h–1D for swing. Lower timeframes may benefit from stricter EMA gating and slightly wider ATR stops.
- **Workflow:**
1. Start with **Backtest** to set baseline ATR/EMA parameters.
2. Move to **Forwardtest** to confirm generalization.
3. Consider walk-forward or multi-symbol rotation to assess robustness.

Strengths & Precautions

Strengths

- **Dual engine** (PVT ST + Normal ST) improves signal quality; the **EMA gate** screens counter-trend noise.
- **ATR-native** stops/targets standardize risk across regimes/instruments.
- **Capital-proportional sizing** preserves account geometry and smooths drawdowns.
- **Clear test segmentation** supports objective evaluation.

Precautions

- **Whipsaw risk** in tight ranges: widen ATR multipliers, enable the EMA gate, or require co-confirmation.
- **Supertrend-anchored stops** can expand in volatility spikes; ensure **% risk** remains within tolerance.
- **One-position policy** avoids stacking risk but forgoes scaling into strong trends; advanced users may prefer add-on frameworks outside this baseline.

Conclusion

VWolf – Apex Gate seeks to enter shortly after **regime flips**, demanding alignment between a **pivot-aware Supertrend** and (optionally) a **classic Supertrend**, while an **EMA gate** enforces directional discipline. With **ATR-driven** stops/targets and **fixed-fraction** sizing, the system adapts naturally to changing volatility. Use the **Backtest** window to dial ranges and the **Forwardtest** window to prove durability on unseen data. For best results, tailor ATR multipliers and the EMA gate to your instrument’s structure and your personal drawdown tolerance.
