THUNDERBOLT

Spots a volatility squeeze, then trades the expansion when a strong momentum candle breaks out, with a tight trailing stop.

How it works

THUNDERBOLT watches for periods where gold goes quiet and volatility compresses. When price breaks out on a strong momentum candle it joins the move and trails the stop tightly. The news filter pauses new entries around high-impact releases so it does not mistake a spike for a clean breakout.

Key features

  • Squeeze detection from ATR and band width
  • Momentum candle confirms the breakout
  • Tight trailing stop to lock in moves
  • News filter pauses new entries around high-impact releases and resumes after a cooldown you set

Suits you if

Traders who want to catch the start of fast moves and are comfortable with quick in-and-out trades.

Watch out for

Many squeezes end in false breaks, and fast markets can slip past your entry. Expect a lower win rate with larger winners, and test the trailing stop settings.
