Solving the Challenges of Momentum-Based Trading

the

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The 2014–2016 sluggish period exposed a key weakness in our original momentum-based mechanical strategy—drawdowns and trade frequency were high, reducing efficiency. To optimize performance, we needed a more refined approach to capturing market momentum.

Breakthrough: Splitting Momentum into Buy & Sell Phases

🚀 BPL (Buy Momentum) & SPL (Sell Momentum) Filters were introduced to separate upward and downward trends, leading to:
More Efficient Trade Execution – Trades reduced, increasing capital efficiency.
Profitability in Sluggish Markets – 2014–2016 turned from a drawdown period into a profitable phase.
Lower Drawdowns – Smoother equity curves, reduced stress, and improved consistency.


The Role of Money Management Systems

Integrating mechanical money management enhanced the strategy further:

  • Dynamic Position Sizing – Adjusts trade size based on volatility.
  • Risk-Based Capital Allocation – Limits exposure in uncertain phases.
  • Execution OptimizationAutomated order slicing in 2-minute intervals maintains returns while reducing impact costs.


Key Takeaways

Breaking momentum into buy & sell phases improved system reliability.
Advanced money management reduced drawdowns and optimized trade frequency.
What was once a weakness (2014–2016) is now a strength, proving the strategy’s adaptability.
