Trading Market Regimes
"Adapting your setup to bull, bear, and chop environments automatically."
A strategy that prints money in a trending market will bleed you dry in a choppy regime.
Trending (Bull/Bear)
Focus on momentum, moving average crossovers, and trailing stops to capture large moves. Do not try to call tops or bottoms.
Mean-Reverting (Chop)
Buy support and sell resistance. Tighten targets.
High Volatility (News/Earnings)
Reduce size drastically or stay entirely in cash.
Systematic Detection
Trentarev's Market Regime analysis uses macroeconomic indicators and rolling volatility to label the current regime. By adjusting your playbook based on the identified environment, you avoid trying to force trend strategies into ranging markets.
