Feature Spotlight: MOMENTUM

The MOMENTUM feature is part of the CEX DESK family and is accessible to users with the CEX TRADER unlock. It is located at the path /FUTURES/MOMENTUM, indicating its focus on futures trading strategies.

The MOMENTUM feature employs a strategy known as BREAK AND HOLD at the first level of its trading hook, with CONTINUATION ONLY as the second level. This approach emphasizes holding positions post-breakthroughs, focusing on continuation moves in the market.

Key points of the MOMENTUM strategy include the use of a HOLD FILTER, which ensures positions are maintained under certain conditions, and the OPEN CARDS feature, which allows for a clear view of the trading setup. Additionally, the MOMENTUM feature incorporates PAPER R, a paper-first approach to trading, which means that strategies are tested on historical data before live application.

The effectiveness of the MOMENTUM feature is supported by a 30-day full take profit (FTP) rate of 28.5%. This indicates that within a 30-day period, 28.5% of the trades reached their full take profit target, providing a baseline for the feature's performance.
