Example (filled in)
asset_and_instrument: US equities, QQQ ETF | timeframe: Daily | strategy_type: Momentum | capital_and_risk: $20,000 account, max 1% risk per trade | experience_level: Intermediate
Sample AI Output
Strategy: Enter long when QQQ closes above its 20-day high with RSI(14) between 50–70 (avoiding overbought entries). Exit at 2× ATR profit target or close below 10-day EMA. Stop-loss: 1.5× ATR below entry. Position size: Risk$ / (Entry − Stop) = $200 / ATR-derived stop distance. Failure modes: (1) chasing breakouts in low-volume consolidation — filter with 20-day average volume confirmation; (2) overtrading during choppy regimes — add ADX > 25 filter. Backtest: Use TradingView's Strategy Tester on 5 years of QQQ daily data, targeting >50% win rate and profit factor >1.5.
Tips for Better Results
Always paper-trade a strategy for at least 20 trades before using real money. Ask ChatGPT to 'find the weakest assumption in this strategy' to stress-test it. Enable browsing to get current market regime context.
