How Aureate Market Architecture Strategy [JOAT] works

Rules in this group usually work like this. It tries to act the way a person reading a chart would: at spots where price turned, at gaps, and at places where many people are likely to have set a stop. In code those ideas become counts of bars. The result depends on how those spots are defined. The next paragraph is this particular rule, which can be narrower than the group.

It can buy, and it can bet on falling prices. It acts only when several checks agree at once. It leans on ATR, EMA, pivot high, pivot low; those names are explained on their own pages, further down. The exact line is in the list below, in the author's names, and you can skip that list. When it enters, it also sets a stop or a target, so a trade can close without a new signal.

Each trade uses 10 percent of the account. It holds one trade at a time.

The exact condition, from the code

Same rule, translated from the code, in the author's names. You can skip this list if the paragraph above was enough.

• Enters long when regime state differs from 2 and bullish bias and the 5-period EMA of pressure composite is above ((pressure volatility × Pressure Threshold Multiplier (1.4)) × 0.6) and liquidity bull and no position is open and not (((((equity − equity) / equity) × 100) when equity is above 0, else 0) is at or above Daily Lockout % (1.5)) and cooldown counter equals 0.
• Enters short when regime state differs from 2 and bearish bias and the 5-period EMA of pressure composite is below ((−pressure volatility × Pressure Threshold Multiplier (1.4)) × 0.6) and liquidity bear and no position is open and not (((((equity − equity) / equity) × 100) when equity is above 0, else 0) is at or above Daily Lockout % (1.5)) and cooldown counter equals 0.
• Places a stop at the smaller of (last micro low − (the 14-period ATR × 0.25)) and (the close − (the 14-period ATR × Initial Stop ATR (1.35))), a target at (the close + (the larger of (the close − the smaller of structural stop and ATR stop) and mintick × Take Profit R Multiple (1.6))) when a long position is open.
• Closes the position when a long position is open and (the close is below (the close − (the 14-period ATR × Trail ATR Multiple (1.05))) or regime state equals 2 or the close is below last low level).
• Places a stop at the smaller of (last micro low − (the 14-period ATR × 0.25)) and (the close − (the 14-period ATR × Initial Stop ATR (1.35))), a target at (the close + (the larger of (the close − the smaller of structural stop and ATR stop) and mintick × Take Profit R Multiple (1.6))) when a short position is open.
• Closes the position when a short position is open and (the close is above (the close − (the 14-period ATR × Trail ATR Multiple (1.05))) or regime state equals 2 or the close is above last high level).

How the backtest was run

Every strategy was tried the same way, on the settings the author published.

The years are October 2021 to June 2026. The prices are from Bybit, for 13 widely traded coins, mostly on hourly, 4-hour and daily charts, with some faster charts. That was 47,242 tries. The window stored in the files is 2021-09..2026-06.

599 rules produced a finished try. A rule that finished above zero on at least 12 cells, before any fee, was tried again with a fee of 0.12 percent per side. Only buys are counted in that second try. 273 rules got it.

The method, the aggregate results and a downloadable table are on the study page. What the desk does with the results beyond these pages is its own.

Before any fee, it was tried on 13 cells, and it placed no trades.

It was not run a second time with a fee. That second pass happens only when at least 12 cells finished above zero before fees. 273 rules got that pass.

Cells tried	13
Cells that placed a trade	0
Finished above zero	0

How to read the result

How to read the number

No cell took a trade, so there is no return to read. The rule above is the whole note.

What this does not show

The useful question is how the turning points are counted in the code. A person can be vague. The code has to count bars.

There is no cell to single out, and this note does not invent one. Other years, another exchange, or another fee would be a different measurement.

Questions about Aureate Market Architecture Strategy [JOAT]

Words used on this page

Backtest

The rule was tried on old prices. No real money moved.

Cell

One coin on one chart speed. Bitcoin every 4 hours is one cell. Bitcoin once a day is another.

Chart speed

How often a new price bar is drawn. 15m means every 15 minutes, 1h means hourly, 4h means every 4 hours, 1D means once a day.

Fee, per side

A cost taken each time the rule trades. Per side means once on the way in and once on the way out.

Median

Line the cells up from the biggest loss to the biggest gain. The median is the middle one. Half the cells did better and half did worse.

Drawdown

The deepest fall from a high point along the way, as a percent of the account at that high.

Above zero

The account finished with more than it started.

The indicators Aureate Market Architecture Strategy [JOAT] uses

Each has its own page: what it measures, how it is read, where it misleads.

• ATR (average true range): the volatility number behind most stops
• Donchian Channels: the highest high and lowest low, and the breakout rule they define
• Exponential moving average (EMA): what it measures and where it misleads
• Pivot points: swing pivots and floor-trader pivots, two different things with one name
• Rate of change (ROC) and momentum: the simplest measures of speed
• Simple moving average (SMA): the plainest average, and why it still runs half the strategies
• Standard deviation in trading: the volatility measure inside Bollinger Bands and z-scores
