Overview
Slaymark uses a multi-indicator confluence strategy on the XAUT/USDT perpetual contract. It does not guess direction — it scores 11 independent indicators every 5-minute candle and only acts when enough of them agree.
Each indicator adds a weighted point to a LONG score and a SHORT score (maximum 16 points). A signal fires only when one side reaches the threshold of 12/16 and beats the other side. This is deliberately strict, so trades are rare but high-conviction.
The 11 indicators (max 16)
Total possible score: 16. Each row contributes its weight to the LONG or SHORT side when its condition is met.
| # | Indicator | W | LONG when | SHORT when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | MACD Crossover | +2 | MACD > Signal and histogram > 0 | MACD < Signal and histogram < 0 |
| 2 | MACD Histogram Momentum | +1 | Histogram growing (curr > prev) | Histogram shrinking (curr < prev) |
| 3 | RSI Direction | +1 | RSI > 50 (bullish) | RSI < 50 (bearish) |
| 4 | StochRSI Reversal | +1 | StochRSI < 0.30 (oversold) | StochRSI > 0.70 (overbought) |
| 5 | EMA20/50 Alignment | +2 | Price > EMA20 > EMA50 | Price < EMA20 < EMA50 |
| 6 | EMA200 Macro Trend | +2 | Price > EMA200 | Price < EMA200 |
| 7 | EMA20 Slope | +2 | EMA20 rising (vs 5 candles ago) | EMA20 falling |
| 8 | ADX Strong Trend | +1 | ADX > 25 | ADX > 25 |
| 9 | Bollinger Direction | +1 | Price in lower half (room to rise) | Price in upper half (room to fall) |
| 10 | Price Momentum | +2 | Close > close of 5 candles ago | Close < close of 5 candles ago |
| 11 | Volume Confirm | +1 | Volume > 1.2× average | Volume > 1.2× average |
Regime filter (no choppy markets)
Before scoring, the engine checks ADX (Average Directional Index). If ADX is below 20, the market is considered range-bound and the engine outputs HOLD — no trade, no matter what the other indicators say.
Direction selection
After computing both scores, the engine picks the stronger side:
- LONG if long_score ≥ 12 and long_score ≥ short_score.
- SHORT if short_score ≥ 12 and short_score > long_score.
- Otherwise HOLD (no position).
Position & risk per trade
A 0.22% price move in your favour is a +4.4% gain on margin; a 4% adverse move is a -80% loss. Liquidation sits at ~1/leverage (~5%), just beyond the stop, so the stop is hit first.
Entry & exit (live signals)
When a LONG/SHORT signal fires, the engine records a virtual position at the current live price and emails an OPEN signal. It then monitors the live price every cycle:
- Take-profit reached → close, email CLOSE (win).
- Stop-loss reached → close, email CLOSE (loss).
- Only one position open at a time; at most one new entry per 5-min candle.
No real orders are ever placed — Slaymark only suggests entries/exits by email. You execute manually.
Dynamic position sizing
As the account grows, exposure is reduced to protect profits. The margin used per trade is a percentage of the balance, tiered by growth:
e.g. at +20% growth only 24% of the balance is risked per trade; at +2000%+ growth only 0.5%.
Milestone cash-out
Every time the balance doubles (the growth target), the engine banks 25% of the target and continues compounding with the remaining 75%. Each completed cycle is counted in the dashboard.
Data basis
The strategy evaluates on 5-minute (Min5) OHLCV candles from MEXC Futures, using a rolling window of the latest 250 candles. Indicators (EMA, MACD, RSI, StochRSI, ADX, Bollinger Bands, volume trend) are recomputed on each evaluation — identical to the Elixir backtest engine.
