CongTrader Strategy V1

📈 CongTrader Strategy V1 — Official Overview

CongTrader Strategy V1 is a precision-built algorithm designed for intraday and swing traders who want a structured, rules-driven approach to capturing directional momentum while avoiding low-quality market conditions.
This strategy combines volatility-based logic, trend confirmation filters, and a market-conditioning engine to produce high-probability long and short signals with strictly candle-close confirmed entries (no intrabar repainting).

🔍 Core Philosophy

Modern markets move in bursts of volatility that are often preceded by subtle shifts in momentum and structure.
CongTrader V1 is engineered to:

identify emerging directional pressure early

filter out noise, consolidation, and choppy environments

only execute when multiple conditions align

maintain consistent, disciplined trade management

The result is a strategy that aims to trade quality over quantity, focusing on clear, structured setups rather than impulsive, intrabar signals.

🧠 Key Components (High-Level Explanation)
1️⃣ Directional Signal Engine (Trigger System)

The strategy uses a custom momentum-oscillation model to detect potential turning points and trend continuations.
This engine smooths price action, measures pressure extremes, and generates trigger crossovers that signal potential long or short opportunities.

(The exact formula and coefficients are proprietary and not displayed.)

2️⃣ ATR-Based Risk Management

Each trade is automatically paired with:

a volatility-adaptive stop loss, and

a volatility-adaptive profit target

This allows the strategy to adjust position management dynamically based on current market movement rather than fixed pip or dollar distances.

3️⃣ Trend Confirmation Filter (EMA)

A long-term EMA trend filter prevents counter-trend entries by ensuring:

Long positions trade only above trend

Short positions trade only below trend

This keeps signals aligned with higher-timeframe momentum.

4️⃣ VWAP Institutional Bias Filter

VWAP is used as a dynamic market fair-value reference.
The strategy only trades when price action shows favorable positioning relative to VWAP—helping avoid false moves and mean-reversion traps.

5️⃣ Range & Volatility Filter

A volatility/range filter avoids entering during tight consolidations.
If the market is not moving or lacks range expansion, the strategy waits patiently.

This significantly reduces chop and whipsaw trades.

6️⃣ RTH (Regular Trading Hours) Protection

Optionally limits trades to regular exchange hours for traders who avoid low-liquidity overnight sessions.

⏳ Candle-Close Entry Confirmation (No Repainting)

All entries are strictly confirmed after the bar closes, which means:

No intrabar fakeouts

No signal disappearance

No repainting

Cleaner, more realistic backtesting

This ensures the strategy behaves the same in backtests and in live charts.

🎯 Trade Logic Summary

A trade is only taken when:

✔ A directional trigger signal occurs
✔ Price meets VWAP bias conditions
✔ Price aligns with the long-term trend
✔ Sufficient volatility/range is present
✔ (Optional) Within regular trading hours
✔ The candle has fully confirmed

Every trade is managed automatically with ATR-based stop loss and take profit placement.
