Origin & History
Regime detection has its roots in Hamilton's Markov Switching Models (1989) and has become central to adaptive strategy allocation in quantitative finance.
The QSA implementation of New York Session Movers builds on this foundation with quantitative thresholds calibrated specifically for crypto perpetual futures markets. The 24/7 nature of crypto trading and the unique dynamics of DEX markets like Hyperliquid require different parameters than traditional market approaches.
Detection Criteria
Price Analysis
Price action analysis — evaluates candle patterns, trend structure, and key level proximity.
Volume Analysis
Volume confirmation — compares current volume against the 20-period moving average to validate signal strength.
Multi-Timeframe Validation
Cross-references the signal across multiple timeframes to ensure alignment and reduce false positives.
Volume Confirmation
Requires volume to be above the 20-period average to confirm institutional participation in the move.
Grading Breakdown
Textbook new york session movers signal with 4+ domain categories confirming, rare category multipliers contributing, and strong regime alignment. These represent the top 1-2% of signals.
Strong new york session movers signal with 3+ categories confirming. Good domain diversity and meaningful rarity bonuses from contributing scanners.
Valid new york session movers detection with 2-3 confirming categories. The core pattern is present but lacks the depth of confirmation needed for higher grades.
Single-category new york session movers signal or one with limited domain diversity. Pattern detected but conviction is low — worth monitoring, not acting on alone.
Common Mistakes
Treating regime signals as direct trade triggers. Regime is context, not a setup — use it to filter other scanners.
Not adjusting strategy allocation when regime changes. Running momentum strategies during CHAOS is a recipe for losses.
Ignoring regime transitions. The shift from QUIET to NORMAL is often the most profitable period to be positioned.
Over-trading during CHAOS because volatility looks exciting. High volatility ≠ high probability.
How to Trade
Entry Context
Use regime context to filter other scanners. In QUIET regimes, prioritize breakout scanners. In NORMAL, all strategies are viable. In CHAOS, reduce size or wait.
Risk Management
Adjust position sizes by regime state. QUIET: normal size. NORMAL: normal to slightly larger. CHAOS: 50% size or sit out. This single rule dramatically improves risk-adjusted returns.
Target Framework
Target expectations vary by regime. QUIET-to-NORMAL transitions produce the largest moves. NORMAL trends are steady and predictable. CHAOS is binary — take profits quickly if profitable.
