sol_wednesday_momentum - Day-of-week momentum strategy for SOLUSDT
CONCEPT:
Exploits Wednesday's historically strong returns in crypto markets.
Enters on Wednesday during Asian/European session when momentum is confirmed.
Uses dual filters: long-term regime (EMA50>EMA200) and short-term momentum (Close>EMA20).
MARKET RATIONALE:
- Wednesday shows statistically strongest positive returns across crypto
- The 00:00-08:00 UTC window captures Asian/European trading overlap
- Institutional buying often occurs mid-week after weekend lull
- Regime filter avoids drawdowns during sustained bear markets
- Momentum filter ensures we're buying into strength, not weakness
ENTRY CONDITIONS:
1. Day of week: Wednesday (weekday=2)
2. Hour: 00:00 or 08:00 UTC (Asian open / European open)
3. Regime filter: EMA(50) > EMA(200) - only trade in uptrends
4. Momentum filter: Close > EMA(20) - confirm near-term strength
EXIT:
Time-based exit after 48 hours (12 x 4h bars)
No stop loss or take profit (ride the momentum)
PARAMETERS (all standard round numbers):
- EMA periods: 20, 50, 200 (standard trend indicators)
- Hold period: 48 hours (12 bars) - captures mid-week momentum
- Entry window: Wednesday 00:00 or 08:00 UTC
ROBUSTNESS:
- Uses only relative indicators (EMAs, time patterns)
- No specific price levels or dates referenced
- Regime filter naturally avoids bear market entries
- Strategy stays flat when conditions aren't met
TRAIN PERFORMANCE (2024-01-01 to 2025-06-30):
- 2024-H1: +36.7%, 8 trades
- 2024-H2: +14.9%, 8 trades
- 2025-H1: +19.6%, 4 trades
- Total: +73.6%, 22 trades, Avg Sharpe 1.59, Max DD 13.2%
VALIDATION GATES (momentum role):
✓ Max DD: 13.2% < 40%
✓ Avg Sharpe: 1.59 > -0.5
✓ Total Trades: 22 > 3
✓ Total Return: +73.6% > -15%
