█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System

What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?

The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.

What is an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?

The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:

1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted

How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?

Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:

1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)

(additional module types will added in future releases)

Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:

GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT

That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.

This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.

What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?

Example trading system:

• Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
  
• Baseline: Hull Moving Average
  
• Volatility/Volume: JCFBaux as shown on the chart above
  
• Confirmation 1: Trading Channel Index
  
• Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
  
• Continuation: Fisher Transform
  
• Exit: Rex Oscillator
  

Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

█ JCFBaux

What is JCFBaux?
JCFBaux is a custom volatility indicator that is designed to detect early spikes in volatility in financial markets. It is often used in conjunction with other momentum indicators to provide confluence in trading decisions. The indicator includes a Jurik-filtered signal line that acts as a cutoff for when volatility is low. Additionally, JCFBaux is used to calculate Jurik's "Composite Fractal Behavior". This is a non-directional GKD-V Volatility/Volume indicator.

Additions and Subtractions:

-All signal logic has been transferred to the new GKD-BT Backtests. You can access these backtests using the links provided below:

-Removed all Volatility/Volume types except for Traditional. To backtest a GKD-V Volatility/Volume indicator you use the GKD-BT Giga Stacks Backtest without needing to change to crossing Volatility/Volume type.

-Implemented code optimizations to enhance the rendering speed of signals.

-Streamlined the export process by generating only a single value for export to other indicators or backtests. This exported value is named "Input into NEW GKD-BT Backtest."
