Turbo Bot

What is Turbo Bot?

The Turbo Bot is an automated trading system designed for the Nasdaq-100 futures (NQ) on 15-minute timeframes. It trades with momentum rather than against it - entering positions when multiple timeframes align in the same direction and offering flexible entry timing through transition or pullback modes.

Core Concept

Unlike reversal-based strategies, Turbo Bot is a momentum continuation system. It waits for all monitored timeframes to agree on direction, then enters in that direction. The strategy includes multiple entry modes, adaptive risk management, and built-in drawdown protection.

How It Works

Multi-Timeframe Momentum Alignment

The strategy monitors momentum across multiple timeframes simultaneously. A trade only triggers when the required timeframes all agree on direction.

By default, the strategy requires alignment on:

• 10-minute timeframe

• 1-hour timeframe

Optional additional filters include 5-minute (stricter) and 4-hour (trend) alignment.

When all required timeframes show bullish momentum, the strategy enters long. When all show bearish momentum, it enters short. If timeframes disagree, no trade is taken.

Entry Modes

The strategy offers two primary entry approaches:

Transition Entry: Enters immediately when momentum alignment first occurs - catching the start of a new momentum wave.

Pullback Entry: Waits for a brief pullback within an established momentum regime before entering. This provides better entry prices but may miss some moves.

Both modes also capture transition signals, ensuring the strategy doesn't miss the initial momentum shift.

Drawdown Protection

The strategy includes automatic safeguards:

Daily Loss Limit: Trading stops for the day once cumulative losses exceed $250.

Consecutive Loss Pause: After 4 losing trades in a row, trading pauses to break the cycle.

Both protections reset at the start of each new trading day.

Time-Based Trading Rules

The strategy enforces time filters based on NQ market behavior:

• Active Trading Hours: 8 AM - 4 PM ET by default

• No Entry Window: 4 PM - 4 AM ET (overnight session avoided)

• Daily Close: All positions closed at 3:50 PM ET

• Friday Close: All positions closed by 3 PM ET to avoid weekend exposure

• Optional Lunch Skip: Can avoid the 12 PM - 2 PM chop if enabled

Risk Management

Stop loss and take profit levels adapt to current market volatility using ATR (Average True Range):

Stop Loss: Calculated using ATR multiplied by a configurable factor. A larger multiplier gives the trade more room and typically increases win rate.

Take Profit: Also ATR-based. A smaller multiplier takes profits faster, improving win rate at the cost of smaller gains per trade.

Trailing Stop: As the trade moves in your favor, the stop loss trails behind, locking in profits while giving the position room to breathe.

Breakeven Protection: Once the trade reaches 60% of the way to take profit, the stop moves to breakeven, eliminating risk on the position.

Position Sizing

The strategy adjusts size based on time of day:

• Peak Hours (9-11 AM, 2-4 PM ET): 2 contracts - higher liquidity and cleaner moves

• Other Hours: 1 contract - reduced exposure during slower periods

Momentum Exit

Beyond stop loss and take profit, positions also close when momentum fully flips to the opposite direction. This prevents holding a long through a bearish momentum shift or vice versa.
