🔶 ORIGINALITY

The Central Pivot Point Cross & Retrace Strategy uniquely combines pivot point analysis with accumulation/distribution indicators to identify optimal entry and exit points. It employs dynamic position sizing based on a fixed risk amount, ensuring consistent risk management across trades. This approach allows traders to adapt to varying market conditions by adjusting position sizes according to predefined risk parameters, enhancing both flexibility and control in trading decisions. The strategy's integration of customizable stop-loss levels further refines its risk management capabilities.

🔸Pivot Point-Based Trading

This strategy utilizes daily pivot points to identify key support and resistance levels, providing a framework for trend identification and trade entry. The central pivot point serves as the intraday point of balance between buyers and sellers, with the largest amount of trading volume assumed to take place in this area.

🔸Accumulation/Distribution

The strategy incorporates the Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) line, an underrated volume-based indicator, to establish the main trend. The A/D line is used in conjunction with a trend based indicator like the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to confirm trend direction and strength.

🔸Dynamic Position Sizing

Position sizes are calculated dynamically based on a fixed risk amount, allowing traders to maintain consistent risk exposure across trades.

🔸Customizable Risk Management

Traders can set flexible risk-reward ratios and adjust stop-loss and take-profit levels, tailoring the strategy to their risk tolerance and market conditions. The strategy recommends taking partial profits at S1 or R1 levels and moving the stop-loss to break-even for remaining positions.

🔶 FUNCTIONALITY

The Central Pivot Point Cross & Retrace Strategy leverages pivot points and accumulation/distribution indicators to identify optimal trading opportunities. This strategy is designed to capitalize on price movements around key pivot levels by dynamically adjusting position sizes based on predefined risk parameters. It allows traders to manage risk effectively while taking advantage of both long and short positions.

🔸Indicators

🞘 Pivot Points: Calculates daily pivot points (PP, R1, R2, S1, S2) to identify key support and resistance levels. The central pivot point is crucial for determining market bias and entry points.

🞘 Accumulation/Distribution: Uses the A/D line and with a trend based indicator like the 200 EMA to determine market direction and trend strength. This combination helps eliminate noise and provides more reliable trend signals. We recommend using the Adaptive MAs (Hurst, CVaR, Fractal) // AlgoFyre, but any moving average could be used.

🔸Conditions

🞘 Long Entry: Initiates a long position when the price crosses above the central pivot point (PP), retraces back to it and the A/D line is above its 200 EMA, indicating an uptrend. A limit entry order is set at the PP for entering the long trade.

🞘 Short Entry: Initiates a short position when the price crosses below the central pivot point (PP), retraces back to it and the A/D line is below its 200 EMA, indicating a downtrend. A limit entry order is set at the PP for entering the short trade.

🞘 Take Profit: 50% of the position is closed as profit when R1 for Longs and S1 for Shorts is reached. The position is fully closed when R2 for Longs and S2 for Shorts is reached.

🞘 Stop Loss:Stop loss is set via strategy settings. When the first 50% take profit for both long and shorts is taken, stop loss for both will be moved to break-even/entry.
