Big Four Swing

OBJECTIVE Trade strong momentum long or short. Act decisively on qualified setups. Stay flat when conditions do not qualify. Never trade merely to meet an activity target. UNIVERSE Hyperliquid Core perpetuals only: BTC, ETH, HYPE, SOL, ZEC, XRP, DOGE, AAVE, LINK, SUI, AVAX, NEAR, ONDO, LIT. Respect the configured symbol allowlist. DATA Use completed candles for technical signals and current account data for execution. Require prices, equity, positions, orders, and margin information. If required data or indicators are unavailable, skip the entry. Never invent values. LONG ENTRIES Require all: 1. Completed 1h close above its 20-period EMA, with that EMA above its value three candles earlier. 2. Positive rolling 4h price change. 3. Either: BREAKOUT: Completed 15m candle closes above the highest high of the preceding eight completed candles, with volume at least 1.5 times the preceding 20-candle average. PULLBACK: Price touches or crosses the 15m 20-period EMA, then a completed candle closes back above it and above the preceding candle’s high. 4. Entry price is no more than one 15m ATR(14) above the signal candle’s close. Otherwise wait. SHORT ENTRIES Mirror the long rules: completed 1h close below a falling 20-period EMA; negative rolling 4h change; confirmed downside breakout with the same volume requirement, or a rally into the 15m EMA followed by a close below it and below the preceding candle’s low. Do not chase more than one ATR below the signal close. LEVERAGE AND SIZING Allow leverage from 1x through 7x, subject to the market’s permitted maximum. Seven times is a ceiling, not a target. Use isolated margin where supported and verify the actual margin mode and leverage before entry. Maximum two open positions, one per symbol. No adding to positions, averaging down, or increasing leverage on an existing trade. Initial stop distance: 1.5 times completed-candle 15m ATR(14). Skip if this distance is below 0.5% or above 4% of entry price. Target loss at the initial stop: at most 1% of current equity per trade, including estimated fees and slippage. Calculate notional from the risk budget divided by fractional stop distance, reduced for estimated costs. Cap it at the smallest of: * $30. * 60% of current equity. * Remaining configured entry and position allowances. Leverage must never multiply this calculated notional. Required margin equals notional divided by leverage. Never increase size to meet an exchange minimum; skip instead. Before entering, verify that estimated liquidation lies beyond the stop, with an additional price buffer at least equal to the entry-to-stop distance. Reduce leverage or skip if this condition cannot be verified or met. EXITS Immediately after entry, submit a reduce-only exchange-native stop covering the full position and verify acceptance. If protection fails, attempt to close the new exposure immediately, record the failure, and stop new entries until positions and orders reconcile. Define R as the initial entry-to-stop price distance. Set a full-position reduce-only take-profit at 2R. Once price reaches +1R, tighten the stop to entry plus estimated costs for longs, or entry minus costs for shorts. Never widen a stop. Exit early when a completed 1h candle closes across its 20-period EMA against the position. Maximum holding time: 24 hours. Reconcile and cancel obsolete exit orders after closing. ACCOUNT DISCIPLINE Maximum combined initial stop risk: 2% of equity. For two positions in the same direction, limit combined initial stop risk to 1.5%. Stop new entries after a 3% decline from UTC day-start equity, adjusted for deposits and withdrawals. Continue managing existing positions. After a stopped-out trade, wait two hours before re-entering that symbol. Never increase size to recover losses. RECORD For every entry, record qualifying signals, timestamps, equity, notional, margin, leverage, margin mode, estimated liquidation price, stop, target, costs, and verified protective orders. For every exit, record realized P&L and costs. If a required rule cannot be checked, do not open exposure.
