SOL v1.0 Swing Trader
SOL v1.0 · Swing Trader 1-4hr Time Frame
A systematic mean-reversion signal cockpit for SOL perpetual futures. Identifies capitulation washout lows in low-momentum, ranging market conditions and targets multi-day recoveries. Built and validated on Jupiter Perps.
The thesis:
SOL spends extended periods chopping in tight ranges. Inside those ranges, sharp downward volatility spikes — capitulation wicks that flush weak longs — tend to resolve upward over the following 2–3 days. This indicator identifies those setups systematically and tells you exactly where to enter, where to take profit, and where to cut the loss.
Three hard gates — all three must be true to fire a signal
WVF (Williams VIX Fix) — detects the capitulation wick structure. Price made a sharp low, volatility spiked, and has since reset. This is the core setup identifier.
ADX < 25 — confirms the market is ranging, not trending. Mean reversion has no edge in a trending market. This gate ensures you're only trading the conditions where the thesis applies.
ER < 0.35 (Efficiency Ratio) — confirms the price action is genuinely choppy, not directional. A low efficiency ratio means price is oscillating rather than making sustained moves. Paired with ADX, this is the tightest ranging filter available without adding lag.
All three gates are toggleable and threshold-adjustable in the inputs. Defaults are the validated settings — change them only if you know what you're doing.
Stop framework:
Framework B fixed exits, validated as optimal against every alternative tested:
2h signals: TP +8.5% / SL −5.0%
3h signals: TP +10.0% / SL −6.0%
4h signals: TP +13.0% / SL −8.0%
Timeout: 144 bars (trade closes at market if neither target nor stop is hit)
Do not move the stop to breakeven. Do not take partial profit early. Do not trail. Every mechanism that touches a winning trade early was tested head-to-head against these fixed exits and underperformed. The stop is wide by design — the capitulation retest requires room.
Tiered alerts:
T4 ★★ — 3h and 4h aligned simultaneously. Strongest setup.
T3 ★ — 2h and 3h aligned. Primary signal.
T2 — 3h gate live only.
T1 — 2h gate live only.
T3 and T4 are the setups to prioritize. T1 and T2 are informational — treat them as early warnings that a T3 may be forming.
The panel:
NOW — live multi-timeframe decision cockpit across 1h, 2h, 3h, and 4h. Shows gate status, tier (BASE / SCALE / FULL based on trend-alignment score), regime (GREEN / YELLOW), and live Jupiter-ready entry, TP, and SL prices the moment a signal fires. Prices are anchored to the signal bar close — what you would have entered at.
CONFLUENCE — chart-timeframe observable stack. MBI, CVI, BBAWE, BP, VWAP, OBV, DELTA, EMA 9/21, HTF 240 bias, BTC regime, BB state. These do not gate signals. They are context — use them to read the quality of the setup before executing.
GREEN vs YELLOW regime — the NOW panel shows a regime color for each timeframe. GREEN means both ADX and ER confirm a tight ranging condition. YELLOW means ADX is below threshold but ER is elevated — a looser, less favorable setup. The system still signals in YELLOW with the default settings, but GREEN entries carry materially stronger historical performance. When the regime row is YELLOW, size accordingly or wait.
Chart overlays:
Bollinger Bands · EMA 9/21 · EMA 50 · SMA 50 · WVF capitulation markers · FVG (Fair Value Gap) boxes · Pivot swing high/low levels · Liquidation level lines (manual Coinglass inputs) · Adaptive Trend Finder channel. All individually toggleable.
Liquidation levels:
Enter your session liquidation heatmap values manually from Coinglass (SOL, 24h, All Exchanges, threshold 0.85). Four inputs: two above price, two below. These plot as horizontal reference lines — not signals, not gates. They show where forced liquidations are clustered, which can act as magnet levels for the capitulation move and for the recovery target.
What this is not:
Not a bot. Not an automated execution system. You receive an alert, you review the panel, you execute on Jupiter manually.
Not suitable for trending markets. When SOL is in a sustained directional move, the ADX gate will suppress most signals by design. If you're fighting the gate, the market is telling you this is not a mean-reversion environment.
Not a scalping tool. The 2h and 3h timeframes mean signals fire infrequently — sometimes once a week, sometimes less. The edge lives in patience and selectivity, not volume of trades.
Not optimized for other assets. Every parameter — WVF calibration, ADX threshold, ER threshold, stop percentages — was derived and validated specifically on SOL perpetuals. Applying it to BTC, ETH, or altcoins without independent validation is untested.
Inputs worth knowing:
Panel size and position are adjustable. If you're on mobile, Tiny or Small with Top Right works well.
The stop framework selector (A / B / C) is visible in inputs. Framework B is the validated default. A uses tighter stops and smaller targets — lower R:R. C uses wider stops with the same targets as A. Don't change the framework without understanding that the performance data was collected on B.
The conditions group exposes every parameter (WVF period, BB length, ADX length, ER length, EMA lengths, VIDYA settings, etc.) for advanced users. Leave them at defaults unless you have a specific reason to change them.
SOL v1.0 · Swing Trader is an analysis tool, not financial advice. Past signal performance does not guarantee future results. Perpetual futures carry significant risk including total loss of margin. Trade only what you can afford to lose.
