What Is Paradox Algo?

Paradox Algo is a quantitative trading ecosystem for TradingView. Three automated strategies, six manual indicators, and an AI strategy optimizer — all built on advanced statistical models and institutional finance principles. Designed to work across crypto, forex, stocks, and futures markets, our models analyze the context of a move (volatility regimes, order-flow imbalances, liquidity zones) instead of relying on simple crossover signals.

Six Quant Tools.

The Three Engines.

Optimize Any Strategy Autonomously.

Stratera is our macOS desktop app. Load any TradingView strategy, set your target metrics (Sharpe, profit factor, net profit, max drawdown, win rate), click Optimize. Stratera autonomously runs thousands of adaptive backtests in the background — experimenting with input configurations until it finds the combo that maximizes your target.

• Pro-tier exclusive · macOS 12+
• Works with any TradingView strategy — not just Paradox tools
• Runs locally — your data never leaves your Mac
• Full optimization runs typically complete in minutes, not days

The v7.1 Edition.

Paradox Algo v7.1 is a forensic rebuild of the Core engine, hardened for prop-firm execution and real-time webhook automation.

• Zero-Repaint by Default. Bar confirmation is now hardcoded into every signal. Backtests match live execution one-to-one. No "Data Mode" toggle required — the engine only fires on confirmed bars.
• Per-Timeframe Regime-Flip Exits. When SignalWave flips its higher-timeframe regime against an open position, v7.1 exits with a configurable cooldown so you don't immediately re-enter into the new regime.
• Adaptive Position Exit (Trailing Stop). A volatility-aware trailing stop that ratchets behind price as conditions shift. Replaces the old fixed-trail logic with something that breathes with the market.
• Prop-Firm P&L Engine. Daily loss / profit / trailing-drawdown calculations are now computed against your actual broker's reset windows (Topstep, Apex, Tradeify, MFFU).
• Persistent Exit + Cancel-All. If the chart disconnects mid-trade, the strategy resumes with the same exit state on reload. Closing one position cancels every related working order.
• New Visual Layer. Refreshed palette, cleaner signal labels, and a redesigned input panel grouped by function (Entries, Exits, Risk, Compliance, Sessions).

Tuning The Engines.

Most settings auto-tune based on your asset class and trading style. The notes below are universal guidance — each algo's input panel surfaces the specific options available for that engine, including preset profiles (Conservative / Balanced / Aggressive) that configure everything in one toggle.

Asset Class & Trading Style

• Asset Class: Crypto · Forex · Stocks · Futures — configures volatility and liquidity profiles for that market.
• Trading Style: Scalping (seconds–minutes) · Day Trading (minutes–hours) · Swing Trading (days+).

Prop Firm Compliance

• Daily Loss Cap: hard ceiling on daily loss before new entries are blocked. Set to your firm's daily loss rule.
• Daily Profit Cap: optional ceiling that auto-flattens once your daily profit target is hit.
• Multi-day Trailing Drawdown: tracks high-water-mark equity and blocks entries if breached. Mandatory for funded accounts.
• Daily Reset Hour: configurable per firm (Topstep, Apex, Tradeify use different reset windows).
• Session-based Trade Limits: max trades per session and per day, with minimum spacing between entries.

Risk Brackets (TP1 / TP2 / TP3 / SL / EP / Trail)

• Three-Tier Take-Profit (TP1 / TP2 / TP3): v7.1 supports up to three partial scale-outs per trade. Configure each TP distance independently for both Long and Short side. Position size is split across the three legs based on your weighting.
• Stop-Loss (SL): hard ceiling on per-trade loss. Required input.
• Entry Placement (EP): offset from the signal price. Use a small positive offset to require price confirmation past the trigger before filling.
• Adaptive (recommended): TP, SL, and trail distances scale with live volatility. Risk stays proportional to conditions.
• Fixed: manual mode for deterministic stop sizes. Pick one format (% · Ticks · Points · Pips) and stay consistent across SL and all TP legs.
• Adaptive Position Exit (Trailing Stop): v7.1's trailing logic ratchets behind price using a volatility-derived buffer. Activates after TP1 by default. Recommended for trends; toggle off for mean-reverting setups.
• Golden Rule: never set SL wider than TP1.
• Move SL to Entry After TP1: eliminates risk on the remaining position. Strongly recommended.

Trade Pacing & Cooldowns

• Cooldown Period: blocks new entries for N minutes after a position exits. Prevents revenge trading.
• Consecutive-Loss Circuit Breaker: auto-blocks new entries after N losses in a row. Forces a pause.
• Max Hold Time: auto-flattens any position open longer than your specified threshold. Useful for scalpers.
• Start with Max Trades = 1 until your discipline is proven and your results are consistent. Scale up only after that bar is met.

Session & Time Filtering

• Time Zone: set UTC offset for your locale (e.g. UTC−5 for ET).
• Force Close: Don't Force · Day Close · Session Close · Custom Time. Required for funded-account end-of-day rules.
• Session Filter: NY · London · Tokyo · Sydney presets, plus custom HHMM-HHMM windows.
• Day-of-Week Filter: Mon–Fri toggles — disable holidays and low-liquidity days.

The Core Rule.

Only risk 10% of your maximum drawdown per trading day.

• Example. Prop account max drawdown = $4,000. Daily risk limit = 10% × $4,000 = $400. That is your total allowable loss across every trade that day.
• Position sizing (MNQ). Stop = 20 ticks × $5/tick = $100 risk per contract. Daily limit $400 ÷ $100 = 4 contracts max. For a second trade: verify combined risk ≤ $400 or reduce size.
• Tactical stops use indicator context — SignalWave reversals, EdgeFlow threshold crossings — for short-term placement.
• Structural stops sit at QuantumFlow order-block invalidation levels.
• Stop distance balance: too tight = stop-outs; too wide = violates position sizing.

Pre-Trade Checklist

• Does this trade fit within my daily risk cap?
• Will my stop-loss maintain acceptable per-trade risk?
• Am I using structural or tactical indicator context for stop placement?
• Have I tracked cumulative risk across the day?
• Is my prop-firm trailing drawdown still safe after this trade?

If any answer is "No" — do not trade.

Live Execution Setup.

All three algos ship with built-in webhook payload builders. Bracket prices (TP, SL, trailing stop) are computed on the strategy side and embedded directly in every alert — no parsing or post-processing needed on your broker bridge.

Supported Routing Providers

TradingView Alert Setup

1. Open a chart with the Paradox strategy loaded.
2. Click the Alerts button (bell icon) in TradingView.
3. Select the strategy in the Condition dropdown.
4. Choose Webhook URL and paste your routing provider's endpoint.
5. In the Message field, paste the auto-generated payload from your strategy's input panel — bracket prices and ticker are already filled in.
6. Set frequency to "Once per bar close" for non-repaint execution.
7. Test with a manual trigger before going live. Use RequestBin or Webhook.site to verify payload reception.

Common Issues.

Ten Rules To Live By.

1. Start with a preset profile (Conservative / Balanced / Aggressive). Adjust incrementally only after you understand the baseline.
2. Match TP / SL / Breakeven formats — never mix percentages with ticks or points.
3. Enable Move SL to Entry after TP1 for risk-free runners.
4. Use Adaptive Brackets over fixed brackets unless you have a specific reason.
5. Use Custom Session filtering — never trade through low-liquidity windows.
6. Set daily loss caps to your prop firm's actual rule, not aspirational numbers.
7. Verify Force Close matches your firm's end-of-day requirement.
8. Begin with Max Trades = 1 until you have 30+ profitable sessions.
9. Enable the Cooldown Period and Consecutive-Loss Circuit Breaker — they're there for a reason.
10. Run a backtest first, then paper-trade for at least one full week before deploying live capital.

First Trade Walkthrough.

A concrete sequence for going from "just got access" to "first paper trade" in under 15 minutes.

1. Pick one instrument. Recommended for first session: MNQ1! (Micro Nasdaq) on a 3–5 minute timeframe. High liquidity, low contract size, prop-firm friendly.
2. Load Paradox Algo from Invite-Only Scripts. Click Indicators → Invite-Only Scripts → pick Paradox Algo Strategy v7.1. The strategy will load and run a backtest immediately.
3. Open the input panel. Click the gear icon next to the strategy name. Inputs are grouped by function: Entries, Exits, Risk, Compliance, Sessions.
4. Apply a preset. Under Risk, set the preset to Balanced. This auto-configures TP1/TP2/TP3, SL, EP, trailing logic, and pacing for the timeframe you're on.
5. Enable prop-firm compliance (if applicable). Set Daily Loss Cap, Trailing Drawdown, and Daily Reset Hour to your firm's actual rules. Set Force Close to Session Close.
6. Read the Strategy Tester report. Bottom panel of the chart. Check Profit Factor, Max Drawdown, Total Trades, and Equity Curve. If any of these look wrong for your account, change the preset or instrument before going live.
7. Set up an alert. Click the bell icon, select the strategy in Condition, paste your webhook URL, and use "Once per bar close" frequency. Use the auto-generated payload from the input panel.
8. Paper-trade for one full week minimum. Track every trade. Compare alert payloads to actual fills. Do not skip this step.

Payload Anatomy.

v7.1 alerts ship with a JSON payload pre-built in the strategy input panel. Every order field is filled in before TradingView fires the alert — no parsing on your broker bridge required.

Standard Payload Fields

• action — buy · sell · exit · cancel
• ticker — auto-filled with the chart's symbol (e.g. MNQ1!, BTCUSDT)
• quantity — computed from your position sizing inputs
• tp1 · tp2 · tp3 — absolute take-profit prices for each scale-out leg
• sl — absolute stop-loss price
• trail_offset — trailing-stop distance (when active)
• order_id — deterministic ID for matching exits to their entry

Routing Provider Compatibility

PickMyTrade, QuantLynk, AlertDragon, and TradersPost all accept the standard payload format directly. For Generic JSON / custom bridges, use the input panel's Custom Payload Template field to remap field names to your bridge's schema.
