Strategy Overview
Quantitative Trading Framework
PulseTrader combines regime detection, parameter optimization, and adaptive strategy routing to deliver high-probability trading opportunities. Our system continuously analyzes market conditions and routes trades to the most suitable strategy for current conditions.
🧠 Framework Philosophy
Adaptive Approach
Regime-Aware: Automatically detects market conditions (high/low volatility, trending, mean-reverting)
Continuously Optimized: Parameters updated weekly based on walk-forward optimization across all tokens
Data-Driven Routing: Routes to the best-performing strategy for each regime
Multi-Strategy Portfolio: Diversifies across 3 complementary approaches
The PulseBT Engine
Our proprietary backtesting framework powers everything:
Walk-Forward Validation: Tests strategies on rolling time windows to prevent overfitting
Multi-Objective Optimization: Grid Search, Random Search, and Bayesian optimization
Regime Detection Pipeline: Volatility, trend, and funding rate analysis
Performance Analytics: Real-time tracking and analytics
📊 The Three Core Strategies
1. Q-XTrend (Advanced Trend Follower)
Type: Trend-following based on dynamic support/resistance analysis
Best Regimes: High volatility, strong trending markets
Approach: Volatility-adjusted bands that flip between uptrend/downtrend states
Strengths: Catches sustained directional moves, early trend detection
Works Best When: Clear market direction with momentum
Technical Details:
Uses adaptive trend detection with volatility-based bands
Dynamic stop-loss and take-profit based on market conditions
Regime-adjusted parameters for different market conditions
Filters by minimum trend strength threshold
2. Q-Pulse (Momentum Scalper)
Type: Multi-layer momentum analysis
Best Regimes: Normal/low volatility, momentum markets
Approach: Triple momentum ribbon alignment detection
Strengths: Quick entries on momentum acceleration, tight risk management
Works Best When: Strong momentum with clear directional alignment
Technical Details:
Uses multi-timeframe momentum ribbon system
Requires momentum alignment + price confirmation + strength threshold
Volatility-based dynamic TP/SL levels
Exit signals when momentum weakens or alignment breaks
3. Z-Score (Mean Reversion)
Type: Statistical mean reversion
Best Regimes: High volatility, range-bound markets
Approach: Trades extreme price deviations using z-score analysis
Strengths: Profits from overextensions, excellent for choppy markets
Works Best When: Price shows mean-reverting behavior
Technical Details:
Calculates z-score of price movements over lookback window
Entry on extreme deviations, exit on normalization
Configurable entry/exit thresholds
Risk-managed position sizing

ADAPTIVE ROUTING
Routes to strategy with best performance using
optimized parameters for each token
(Data-driven selection based on historical performance
in detected regime)
↓
TRADE EXECUTION
Strategy generates entry/exit signals with:
- Entry/Exit conditions
- Position sizing
- Stop-loss & Take-profit levelsWalk-Forward Optimization
Training Window: Historical data for parameter optimization
Testing Window: Forward validation on unseen data
Rolling Forward: Continuously steps forward to test robustness
Prevents Overfitting: Parameters must work on future data, not just past
Regime-Adaptive Routing
The system automatically routes each token to the best strategy based on:
Current detected regime (volatility + trend state)
Historical performance of each strategy in that regime
Confidence threshold (only acts on high-confidence detections)
Hysteresis period (prevents rapid strategy switching)
Dynamic Parameter Updates
Frequency: Weekly re-optimization for all tokens
Token-Specific: Each token gets unique optimized parameters
Regime-Specific: Different parameters for different market conditions
Analytics Dashboard: Performance tracking and best parameter selection
📈 Strategy Performance by Regime
Performance varies by token and market conditions. Our analytics dashboard tracks:
Win rates per strategy per regime
Sharpe ratios and risk-adjusted returns
Maximum drawdowns
Best strategy recommendations per regime
Parameter stability and convergence
Key Insight: No single strategy dominates all conditions. The routing system ensures you're always using the best tool for current market conditions.
