Entry Logic types explained
Trading Models in darwintIQ operate using one of several Entry Logic types — these define the core logic behind when and why a long/short entry is triggered.
Common Entry Logic Types
-
BollingerBands Identifies potential reversals when price closes outside the bands and confirms with a recent middle-band crossover
-
BreakoutExtrema Enters trades when price breaks above recent highs or below recent lows by a minimum pip threshold.
-
FailedBreakout Trades rejection after a sweep beyond a recent high or low when price quickly reclaims the broken area.
-
Frequency Trades support/resistance bounces and breakouts, filtered by short- and long-term trend direction.
-
Macd Trades momentum shifts when the MACD line crosses the signal line with meaningful histogram confirmation
-
Pattern Detects reversal candlestick formations near range edges and waits for confirmation before entry.
-
PullbackContinuation Trades continuation after a controlled pullback into a faster moving average inside an existing trend.
-
RangeBounce Trades range edges by buying near support and selling near resistance, optionally only when M5 and M15 agree on a ranging regime.
-
RegressionBandTouch Trades touches of the outer regression channel bands, optionally with multi-timeframe trend confirmation.
-
RsiReached Triggers entries when RSI crosses above oversold or below overbought thresholds.
-
SmaCross Follows trend shifts when a fast moving average crosses above or below a slower one.
-
SqueezeBreakout Looks for volatility compression and enters when price breaks out as the bands re-expand.
-
SupRes Trades moves away from recent support or resistance extrema after a bounce or rejection has already started.
-
Swing Trades bounces near dynamically identified support and resistance levels within a set price range.
-
TrendFollow Confirms and trades sustained moves by following the direction of a moving average over time.
