Advanced (multi-factor) strategies
Advanced strategies stack several conditions — a trend or regime filter, a trigger, and a volatility-aware stop — so a trade only fires when multiple things agree. More conditions can mean fewer, cleaner entries, but they also mean more parameters to tune and more ways to fit the past instead of the future. This is exactly where out-of-sample testing matters most: a curve that looks perfect in a backtest often owes it to the extra knobs. Several of these are ported from real production systems and are honest about their measured weaknesses.
Each one below is a mechanism to test, not a recommendation. Open it to see exactly how it works in plain English, then backtest it yourself — costs on, no look-ahead, measured against buy & hold — or open it in the builder to tweak.The sparkline on each card is the strategy's performance relative to buy & hold — it only rises when the strategy is beating a passive hold.
