---

Strategy Description:

Momentum Short Sniper is a momentum-based short-selling strategy built to capitalize on quick price declines in fast-moving markets. It identifies shifts in momentum using the MACD crossover and only enters trades during periods of active price movement. Designed for intraday execution with precise risk control, Momentum Short Sniper targets small, frequent profits while maintaining tight exposure to downside risk.

Core Setup:

• Momentum Shift: Trades short when the MACD Line crosses below the Signal Line on the 3-minute bar chart—signaling the start of bearish momentum.

• Volatility Filter: Enters trades only when ATR exceeds 1% of the current stock price, ensuring that conditions are dynamic enough to support a rapid downside move.

• Profit Target & Risk Control:

• Take Profit: +0.5%

• Stop Loss: -0.5%

• A 1:1 reward-to-risk ratio keeps the strategy fast-moving and nimble, suited for high-frequency opportunities.

Ideal For:

• Traders who favor quick-turnaround short setups during intraday volatility

• Assets with high liquidity and pronounced momentum (e.g., QQQ, TSLA, BTC)

• Strategies where automated, tight-entry conditions and minimal risk exposure are key
