Turbo Bot

What is Turbo Bot?

The Turbo Bot is an automated trading system designed for the Nasdaq-100 futures (NQ) on 15-minute timeframes. It trades with momentum rather than against it - entering positions when multiple timeframes align in the same direction and offering flexible entry timing through transition or pullback modes.

Core Concept

Unlike reversal-based strategies, Turbo Bot is a momentum continuation system. It waits for all monitored timeframes to agree on direction, then enters in that direction. The strategy includes multiple entry modes, adaptive risk management, and built-in drawdown protection.

How It Works

Multi-Timeframe Momentum Alignment

The strategy monitors momentum across multiple timeframes simultaneously. A trade only triggers when the required timeframes all agree on direction.

By default, the strategy requires alignment on:

• 10-minute timeframe
• 1-hour timeframe

Optional additional filters:

• 5-minute (stricter)
• 4-hour (trend) alignment

When all required timeframes show bullish momentum, the strategy enters long. When all show bearish momentum, it enters short. If timeframes disagree, no trade is taken.

Entry Modes

The strategy offers two primary entry approaches:

• Transition Entry: Enters immediately when momentum alignment shifts
• Pullback Entry: Waits for a brief pullback after alignment before entering

Both modes also capture transition signals, ensuring the strategy doesn't miss the initial momentum shift.

Drawdown Protection

The strategy includes automatic safeguards:

• Daily Loss Limit: $250 threshold
• Consecutive Loss Pause: 4 losing trades trigger pause

Both protections reset at the start of each new trading day.

Time-Based Trading Rules

The strategy enforces time filters based on NQ market behavior:

• Active Trading Hours: 8 AM - 4 PM ET
• No Entry Window: 4 PM - 4 AM ET
• Daily Close: 3:50 PM ET
• Friday Close: 3 PM ET
• Optional Lunch Skip: 12 PM - 2 PM

Risk Management

Stop loss and take profit levels adapt to current market volatility using ATR (Average True Range):

• In volatile markets, profit targets widen automatically
• In calm markets, targets tighten to capture smaller moves

Position Sizing

The strategy adjusts size based on time of day:

• Peak Hours (9-11 AM, 2-4 PM ET): 2 contracts
• Other Hours: 1 contract

Momentum Exit

Beyond stop loss and take profit, positions also close when momentum fully flips to the opposite direction. This prevents holding a long through a bearish momentum shift or vice versa.
