🧠 How Q-Pulse Works
Momentum Detection System
Q-Pulse captures market momentum through multi-layer analysis using a momentum ribbon approach.
The strategy uses fast, medium, and slow momentum layers that must align to generate signals. This alignment confirms strong directional momentum and filters out false signals.
For each token, it identifies momentum acceleration points and determines optimal entry timing based on:
Momentum layer alignment strength
Price confirmation relative to momentum layers
Volatility-adjusted risk parameters
Market regime conditions
Once momentum acceleration is confirmed with proper alignment, the system generates entry signals with dynamically calculated stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Dynamic Market Adaptation
The strategy continuously adapts to market conditions through:
Momentum Measurement: Analyzes the speed and strength of price movements across multiple layers
Volatility Calibration: Adjusts risk levels and band widths based on current market conditions
Alignment Analysis: Confirms momentum direction through multi-layer agreement
Regime Awareness: Adapts parameters based on detected market regimes
Precision Entry System
Q-Pulse generates high-quality signals through:
Acceleration Detection: Identifies when momentum is building across all layers
Alignment Confirmation: Requires multi-layer agreement before entry
Optimal Timing: Combines alignment with price confirmation
Risk Calibration: Dynamically sets stop-loss and take-profit based on volatility
Strength Filtering: Minimum momentum spread threshold prevents weak signals
📊 Signal Quality Framework
Strength Classification System
Each Q-Pulse signal is evaluated by momentum alignment strength:
Strong Alignment: All momentum layers aligned with significant spread
Moderate Alignment: Good layer agreement with acceptable momentum spread
Weak Alignment: Filtered out to maintain signal quality and reduce false positives
Risk-Reward Optimization
Q-Pulse employs advanced risk management:
Volatility-Based Exits: Dynamic stop-loss and take-profit based on market conditions
Momentum-Based Sizing: Signal strength influences position recommendations
Adaptive Parameters: Risk levels adjust to detected market regimes
Exit Triggers: Multiple conditions monitor momentum degradation
🎯 Best Practices
Optimal Usage Guidelines
Market Conditions
Best Performance: Strong momentum markets with clear directional moves
Avoid: Extremely choppy or low-momentum conditions
