Lorentzian Classification Strategy

To use the Lorentzian Classification Strategy on TradingView, follow these steps:

• Open TradingView and select the symbol/market you wish to trade.
• Type "@jdehorty" in the Pine Script editor to find and add the "Machine learning: Lorentzian Classification" script.
• Ensure you have the EMA and Supertrend indicators on your chart, as well as the ATR for stop loss calculations.

Key Parameters for Testing:

• Adjust the period of the EMA based on your trading style and market volatility.
• Tweak the ATR stop loss settings for optimal placement.
• Test different risk/reward ratios to find a suitable balance.

Implementing in Real Trading:

• Set up alerts in TradingView based on the strategy's buy/sell conditions.
• For automation, use a broker that allows TradingView integration or a third-party tool to execute trades.
• Consider manual oversight to ensure the strategy performs as intended.

Always backtest the strategy against historical data to fine-tune parameters. Experiment with different symbols or markets to understand how the strategy performs under various conditions. Optimize your risk/reward ratio by backtesting to ensure the strategy aligns with your trading goals and risk tolerance.

To enhance the Lorentzian Classification Strategy for manual trading, consider implementing the following improvements:

• Refine Entry Points: Cross-reference the Lorentzian model signals with additional chart patterns and price action. Confirm entries with bullish or bearish engulfing candles, or with chart patterns such as triangles, head and shoulders, or flags that correspond with the Lorentzian signal.
• Optimize Trend Filters: Use additional moving averages, such as a 50-period or 100-period EMA, to filter trades further. Confirm the trend by ensuring all moving averages align, prioritizing trades in the direction of the prevailing trend for higher probability setups.
• Adjust Stop Loss and Take Profit: Instead of a fixed ATR-based stop loss, consider using a trailing stop that moves with the price or setting the stop loss below recent swing lows/highs for longs/shorts. Adapt the take profit approach by using multiple targets or adjusting based on key support/resistance levels.
• Volume Analysis: Introduce volume analysis to validate breakout and breakdown signals. Large volume during a breakout from the 200 EMA or a buying/selling signal from the Lorentzian model indicates stronger conviction.
• Economic Calendar and News: Pay attention to the economic calendar and news events that can cause sudden market moves, which might affect the reliability of technical signals. Avoid entering new trades shortly before major news and consider reducing exposure.

To further personalize the strategy:

• Risk Management Variability: Instead of a static percentage of the account per trade, adjust your risk based on the trade's conviction level. High conviction trades, confirmed by multiple factors, could warrant a higher risk percentage.
• Market Phase Adaptation: Recognize the market phase (ranging, trending) and adapt your trading approach accordingly. In a ranging market, consider tightening take profit levels and being more conservative with entry signals.
• Performance Review: Conduct regular reviews of your trades to identify patterns in success and failure. Fine-tune the strategy by focusing on the conditions that lead to the most profitable trades and eliminating recurrent inefficiencies.

Each of these improvements involves critical assessment of market conditions and active decision-making to enhance the Lorentzian Classification strategy's performance in manual trading.

The Lorentzian Classification Strategy is primarily designed for traders who have a penchant for using machine learning techniques to capitalize on trending markets. This strategy is ideal for:

• Technologically Savvy Traders: Those well-versed in running and interpreting machine learning models, especially within the TradingView scripting environment.
• Trend-Following Traders: Individuals who prefer to catch and ride the momentum of major moves, rather than those who trade reversals or within tight ranges.

In terms of trading style, the strategy suits:

• Swing Traders: The use of hourly and higher timeframes indicates a swing trading approach, holding positions for several hours to days.
• Active Day Traders: Those who can manage trades throughout the day to adjust positions, trailing stops, and to take profits as signals develop.

It demands consistent risk management and the capacity to adjust parameters in response to changing market dynamics.

• How it works: Utilizes a machine learning model to identify entries in trending markets, combined with EMA and Supertrend indicators for trend confirmation and exit filters. ATR is used for setting stop loss levels.
• Enhancing strategies: Improve entries by considering additional chart patterns and volume analysis, and refine exits with trailing stops or by analyzing key price levels.
• Customization for traders: Best for technologically adept individuals and those with a trading style focused on momentum and swing trading. Adapts well for active day traders.
• Implementation: Can be used with TradingView alerts for automation or manual trading. Fine-tuning based on backtesting results is critical for real trading application.
• Risk management: Risk per trade is customizable, with strategies like leveraging and compound interest considered within the defined percentage of account risk parameters. Users can adjust risk based on trade conviction.
• Optimization: Experiment with the strategy on various assets and timeframes. Regularly review trade performance to identify and replicate conditions leading to success.
