Overview 策略概述
Most kits pile on crowded oscillators. SextantCast uses only two quiet, underused instruments — one reads the underlying heading, the other flags the turn — plus a volatility floor to skip dead hours.
🌊 Decycler Baseline
A near-zero-lag smoothed trend line that strips out high-frequency noise, showing the true drift.
🎯 Forecast Deviation (CFO)
Measures how far price has pushed from its own short-term linear-regression forecast, oscillating around zero.
⚡ Volatility Floor
ATR ≥ 0.6× its 50-bar average, so windows only open when the market is actually moving.
Signal Rules 信号判断
Core Logic 核心逻辑
- Heading gate — a window opens only on the side the Decycler baseline points to (price above = up-side, below = down-side).
- Trigger — the Forecast Deviation line crossing its zero center marks the turn.
- Alive filter — a volatility floor skips flat, sleepy hours.
- Retreat control — protective exit at 1.5× ATR; target at 1.8× the risk distance (RR ≈ 1.8).
- Sizing — each window risks a fixed 1%; auto-sized lots; max 10 windows/day; one at a time.
