EUR/USD Multi-Layer Statistical Regression Strategy

206
Strategy Overview
This advanced EUR/USD trading system employs a triple-layer linear regression framework with statistical validation and ensemble weighting. It combines short, medium, and long-term regression analyses to generate high-confidence directional signals while enforcing strict risk controls.

Core Components
Multi-Layer Regression Engine:

Parallel regression analysis across 3 customizable timeframes (short/medium/long)

Projects future price values using prediction horizons

Statistical significance filters (R-squared, correlation, slope thresholds)

Signal Validation System:

Lookback validation tests historical prediction accuracy

Ensemble weighting of layer signals (adjustable influence per timeframe)

Confidence scoring combining statistical strength, layer agreement, and validation accuracy

Risk Management:

Position sizing scaled by signal confidence (1%-100% of equity)

Daily loss circuit breaker (halts trading at user-defined threshold)

Forex-tailored execution (pip slippage, percentage-based commissions)

Visual Intelligence:

Real-time regression line plots (3 layered colors)

Projection markers for short-term forecasts

Background coloring for market bias indication

Comprehensive statistics dashboard (R-squared metrics, validation scores, P&L)

Key Parameters
Category Settings
Regression Short/Med/Long lengths (20/50/100 bars)
Statistics Min R² (0.65), Correlation (0.7), Slope (0.0001)
Validation 30-bar lookback, 10-bar projection
Risk Controls 50% position size, 12% daily loss limit, 75% confidence threshold
Trading Logic
Entries require:

Ensemble score > |0.5|

Confidence > threshold

Short & medium-term significance

Active daily loss limit not breached

Exits triggered by:

Opposite high-confidence signals

Daily loss limit violation (emergency exit)

The strategy blends quantitative finance techniques with practical trading safeguards, featuring a self-optimizing design where signal quality directly impacts position sizing. The visual dashboard provides real-time feedback on model performance and market conditions.
Release Notes
EUR/USD Multi-Layer Statistical Regression Strategy v2
📊 Strategy Overview
This advanced algorithmic trading strategy employs multi-layer statistical regression analysis combined with adaptive machine learning techniques to identify high-probability trading opportunities in the EUR/USD forex pair. The strategy uses three distinct regression layers operating on different timeframes to create a robust ensemble prediction system.
🔬 Core Methodology
Multi-Layer Regression System

Short-Term Layer (20 periods): Captures immediate price momentum and micro-trends
Medium-Term Layer (50 periods): Identifies intermediate trend direction and strength
Long-Term Layer (100 periods): Provides macro trend context and stability

Statistical Validation Framework

R-Squared Analysis: Ensures regression quality with adaptive thresholds (default ≥0.45)
Correlation Testing: Validates signal reliability with minimum correlation requirements (≥0.5)
Slope Significance: Filters out statistically insignificant price movements
Adaptive Thresholds: Dynamically adjusts validation criteria based on historical performance

🧠 Advanced Features
Dynamic Performance-Based Weighting
The strategy continuously evaluates each regression layer's performance and adjusts their influence weights accordingly:

Base weights: Short 40%, Medium 35%, Long 25%
Dynamic adjustment based on recent statistical quality scores
Real-time weight normalization for optimal ensemble performance

Lookback Validation System

Validates prediction accuracy using historical performance data
Tracks layer-specific reliability metrics
Implements fallback logic for maintaining signal generation during low-confidence periods

Adaptive Statistical Thresholds

Monitors rolling 100-period performance windows
Automatically adjusts R² thresholds based on market conditions
Maintains signal quality while adapting to changing market volatility

💡 Signal Generation Logic
Enhanced Ensemble Scoring
The strategy generates signals through a sophisticated multi-layer approach:

Primary Signals: Generated when all statistical criteria are met
Fallback Signals: Activated with relaxed criteria to maintain trading activity
Quality Weighting: Even "insignificant" signals contribute based on quality scores
Confidence Calculation: Combines agreement scores, statistical quality, and validation metrics

Entry Conditions

Long Entry: Ensemble score >0.3, confidence >65%, multiple layer agreement
Short Entry: Ensemble score <-0.3, confidence >65%, multiple layer agreement
Initialization: Relaxed conditions for first position establishment

🛡️ Risk Management
Position Sizing

Base Size: 50% of equity (configurable 10-100%)
Confidence Multiplier: Dynamic sizing based on signal confidence
Maximum Position: Limited by available equity and risk parameters

Daily Loss Protection

Maximum Daily Loss: 12% of equity (configurable 5-25%)
Emergency Exit: Automatic position closure when daily limit is reached
Halt Trading: Temporary suspension during high-loss periods

Statistical Risk Controls

Minimum Data Requirements: Ensures adequate sample sizes for reliable statistics
Division by Zero Protection: Robust error handling for edge cases
NA Value Management: Proper handling of missing or invalid data points

📈 Performance Optimization
Real-Time Monitoring Dashboard
The strategy includes a comprehensive statistics table displaying:

Net profit and performance metrics
R² values for each regression layer with quality indicators
Dynamic weight allocations
Signal strengths and ensemble scores
Confidence levels and reliability metrics
Adaptive threshold values

Visual Indicators

Regression Lines: Color-coded based on statistical significance
Background Coloring: Visual confidence and trend indication
Signal Markers: Clear entry point identification
Debug Plots: Additional data for strategy analysis

⚙️ Customizable Parameters
