Trend Follower

Directional strategy for confirmed momentum.

Best used when

  • trend is strong and persistent
  • structure supports continuation
  • liquidity is normal
  • Hermes wants to follow momentum instead of fading it

Avoid when

  • price is range-bound
  • trend strength is weak or noisy
  • event risk is high
  • the market is too chaotic for clean continuation

Core parameters

  • trend_timeframe: regime timeframe to inspect
  • trend_strength_min: minimum strength to act
  • entry_offset_pct: offset from market for entries
  • exit_offset_pct: offset for exits or reversals
  • order_size: base size for an entry
  • cooldown_ticks: pause between actions

Hermes policy mapping

  • risk_posture adjusts strength threshold and offsets
  • priority adjusts urgency and cooldown

Notes

  • Hermes decides when trend following is allowed.
  • Trader maps policy to concrete order behavior.
  • The strategy reports signal, strength, and policy-derived settings.
