Trading Strategies

Proven trading strategies, each backtested daily by Tradewink AI against the top 10 tickers. All stats below are live results from the latest backtest run.

How Tradewink selects the right strategy for every market condition

Every strategy in the library belongs to one of four major families: trend-following, mean reversion, volatility-based, and event-driven. Each family has a distinct edge profile — and, critically, each works best in a specific market regime. A momentum breakout that thrives in a trending tape will bleed in a choppy, range-bound environment. An iron condor that collects premium beautifully during low-volatility periods gets crushed when realized volatility spikes.

Tradewink resolves this with a two-layer regime detection system. First, a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) trained on SPY daily returns classifies the macro environment as trending, mean-reverting, or volatile — updating each session. Second, an intraday overlay measures the 5-minute efficiency ratio on SPY to catch intraday regime flips in real time. Together these signals determine which strategy families are active for each scan cycle. Learn more about market regime detection.

The result: you are never running a mean-reversion playbook into a strong trend, or chasing breakouts in a directionless tape. The AI adapts the strategy mix automatically — the 16 strategies below are always filtered by the current regime before any signal reaches your feed.

Which strategy fits which market regime?

A quick reference for matching strategy family to detected market condition.

Trending market

Strong directional price action with expanding volume. Trend-following approaches capture sustained moves.

  • Momentum breakout
  • Opening Range Breakout (ORB)
  • VWAP reclaim
Choppy / ranging market

Price oscillates between support and resistance. Mean-reversion setups profit from repeated range boundaries.

  • Mean reversion
  • VWAP bounce
  • Iron condor
High volatility

Elevated VIX or wide intraday ranges. Options strategies and smaller share sizes manage outsized risk.

  • Volatility breakout
  • Straddle / strangle
  • Reduced position sizing
Low volatility

Compressed ranges and declining IV. Premium-selling options strategies benefit from time decay.

  • Iron condor
  • Covered call
  • Wheel strategy
