Overview 策略概述
The chart is a noisy sky full of flickers. A sextant does not react to every cloud — it takes one steady reading and fixes your true position. SextantFix works the same way: it reads a composite momentum line for the true heading, then asks one blunt question before it commits — is this an actual directional move, or just random wandering?
The Two Instruments
Timing + Direction
Know Sure Thing (KST)
Instead of a single momentum reading, KST takes the rate-of-change over four lookbacks (4·7·10·15), smooths each, and blends them with weights 1·2·3·4 into one steady line, plus a signal line (SMA 5). A cross up over the signal line opens an up window; a cross down opens a down window.
Trend-Strength Filter
Random Walk Index (RWI)
For several short horizons (up to 5) it compares how far price actually traveled against how far pure randomness would drift (ATR·√n), and takes the strongest reading. A value near or above 0.8 in the traded direction means the move is stronger than random — a genuine trend, not noise.

Execution Flow 执行流程
Entry / Exit Rules 入场条件
| Window | Trigger | Confirmation | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up | KST crosses up over its signal line | RWI up-strength ≥ 0.8 | Enter long at Ask |
| Down | KST crosses down under its signal line | RWI down-strength ≥ 0.8 | Enter short at Bid |
Stop = 1.5 × ATR from entry · Target = 1.6 × stop distance (R:R 1.6) · risk 1% of account per window · one window at a time · max 10 windows per day.

Parameters (defaults) 参数设置
- KST: ROC lookbacks 4 · 7 · 10 · 15 · smoothing 4 · 4 · 4 · 6 · weights 1·2·3·4 · signal SMA 5
- RWI: max horizon 5 · strength threshold 0.8
- ATR: period 14 · Stop 1.5 × ATR · R:R 1.6
- Controls: max 10 trades/day · Magic 20390817 · watchdog after 3 quiet days · Timeframe H1
Frequency Self-Check
On simulated H1 data: raw KST crosses ≈ 1.7/calendar-day (≈2.4/trading-day) → after the RWI strength filter trims ~40% + one window at a time → about 0.8 trade per calendar-day (≈1.1–1.2 per active trading day), inside the healthy 1–10 range.
Study-and-observation tool for sharing ideas, not a promise of any outcome. Markets carry real ups and downs. Backtest 1–2 years of H1 in the tester and paper-run before anything else.
