Automated Strategy StrategyPeakHoursTradingNQ

This strategy, named "StrategyPeakHoursTradingNQ," is designed for trading the NQ (NASDAQ E-mini) futures contract during peak hours. Here's a description of its key components and functionality:

1. **Initialization**:
- The strategy initializes various parameters, including moving averages (EMAs), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), and Average True Range (ATR).
- It also sets default values for parameters such as the volatility filter, trail stop, break-even trigger, time exit bars, and maximum drawdown.

2. **Main Logic**:
- The strategy primarily operates during peak trading hours (from 12:30 to 16:30).
- It assesses market conditions and entry signals based on criteria such as the position of the closing price relative to EMAs, RSI, VWAP, and volatility filters.
- Long entries are triggered when the closing price is above the shorter EMA, RSI is above 50, and other conditions are met. Conversely, short entries occur when the closing price is below the shorter EMA, RSI is below 50, and other conditions are met.
- Trailing stops, break-even exits, time-based exits, and exits based on trend reversals are implemented to manage open positions.
- Additionally, the strategy incorporates a maximum drawdown exit mechanism, which exits positions if the drawdown exceeds a specified threshold.

3. **Risk Management**:
- The strategy dynamically calculates and monitors drawdown percentages to manage risk.
- It exits positions if the drawdown exceeds a predefined maximum threshold, helping to mitigate potential losses.

4. **Flexibility**:
- The strategy allows for customization of parameters such as the time exit bars and maximum drawdown, providing flexibility to adapt to different market conditions and risk preferences.

Overall, StrategyPeakHoursTradingNQ is a comprehensive trading strategy tailored for trading the NQ futures contract during peak trading hours. It combines technical indicators, entry/exit rules, and risk management techniques to potentially capitalize on intraday price movements while managing risk effectively.​
