Backtest Results
Whale Liquidity Absorption Profile strategy for XAU_USD.
Mechanism:
1. For each bar, classify as bullish (close > open) or bearish.
2. Estimate absorption volume per bar from wick ratios:
Bull bar: upper_wick / range * volume (selling absorbed by buyers)
Bear bar: lower_wick / range * volume (buying absorbed by sellers)
3. Rolling `lookback`-bar volume profile is built at each step:
- Volume binned into `profile_bins` price levels.
- Delta per bin = buy_volume - sell_volume.
- Absorption per bin = sum of wick-based absorption volumes.
4. Rolling strength threshold = `strength_filter`-th percentile of recent volumes.
Bars above this threshold are classified as "strong" (whale activity).
5. Long entry: strong bullish bar AND (current price bin has above-median absorption
OR bullish delta dominance at current bin).
6. Short entry: strong bearish bar AND (current price bin has above-median absorption
OR bearish delta dominance at current bin).
7. Stop loss: ATR * atr_sl_mult below/above entry.
8. Take profit: stop_loss_distance * rr_ratio.
