Hacklemore2 Strategy: Board the Trend, Then Get Off

Nickname: Trend Catcher
Timeframe: 15 Minutes

1. What's This Strategy About?​

Hacklemore2 is a "wait for the trend to be obvious, then jump in" strategy. It waits for price to hit a 60-day high, RMI to strengthen — only then will it buy.

Plain English Analogy:

Like surfing:

  • Spot the wave coming (uptrend)
  • Surfboard's ready (RMI strong)
  • Jump on! 🏄‍♂️

2. Core Settings​

Take-profit: 14.5% (just bought) → 7.7% (10 min later)
Stop-loss: -10%
Trailing stop: 2% activation, 3% offset

3. Entry Conditions​

All must be met simultaneously:

  1. Uptrend: up_trend == True (60-day high)
  2. RMI Strong: RMI > 55 AND RMI >= RMI.rolling(3).mean()
  3. Price Rising: close > close.shift() > close.shift(2) (three green candles in a row)
  4. SAR Confirmation: sar < close (price above SAR)
  5. Volume Filter: volume < volume_ma * 30

4. Exit Conditions​

  1. Buy signal disappears: buy == 0
  2. Downtrend: dn_trend == True
  3. RMI Weak: RMI < 30
  4. Profit protection: profit > -3%

5. The Bottom Line​

One-Line Verdict​

"No trend, no entry — trend leaves, you leave!"

6. Risk Reminder​

Remember: Small position size test! 🙏
