MaroQuant Strategies for Freqtrade

A collection of custom algorithmic trading strategies designed for the Freqtrade crypto trading bot. This pack includes trend-following, mean-reversion, and hybrid regime-switching algorithms optimized for various timeframes.

🧠 Strategy Overview

1. Maro4h_bb_macd_adx.py (The Hybrid)

Timeframe: 4h Concept: Market Regime Switching.

• Ranging Market (Low ADX): Uses Bollinger Bands to trade mean reversion (buy low, sell high).
• Trending Market (High ADX): Switches to MACD to catch strong breakouts and trend continuations.
• Why it works: Adapts to changing market conditions rather than forcing a single logic type.

2. Maro4h_Macd_Adx.py (Trend Follower)

Timeframe: 4h Concept: Pure Trend Following.

• Entry: Requires MACD Histogram crossover AND strong trend strength (ADX > 25) with positive directional movement (DI+ > DI-).
• Exit: Detects trend exhaustion via MACD and directional reversal.
• Risk: Wide stop-loss (-100%), relying on the strategy's sell signal to close trades dynamically.

3. Maro4h_Macd_Sd.py (Standard Dev Reversal)

Timeframe: 5m (High Frequency) Concept: Volatility-Adjusted Momentum.

• Logic: Identifies potential reversals by combining MACD histogram inflection points with Standard Deviation (STDDEV) analysis.
• Risk Management: Tighter stop-loss (-21%) and stepped ROI for quick scalping.

4. Maro4h_bb_Adx.py (Custom Oscillator)

Timeframe: 5m Concept: Composite EMA Crossover.

• Logic: Note: Despite the filename, this strategy uses a custom EMA weighting system, not Bollinger Bands.
• It calculates a weighted blend of fast (9/18) and slow (32/64) EMA differentials to create a custom momentum oscillator for signal generation.
