How Concordance Execution Model [JOAT] works

Rules in this group usually work like this. It acts when a lot of the coin is changing hands, or when price is on one side of the average price paid (often called VWAP). The idea is that a move with heavy trading behind it is more likely to continue. Crypto volume differs by exchange, so the filter inherits that. 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 ALMA, ATR, EMA, linear regression; 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 (the bar index − last entry bar) is at or above Entry cooldown (8) and (the 14-period ATR / the close) is above 0.001 and long score is at or above 72 and delta is above Delta pressure gate (0.03) and (volume / the larger of the 20-period SMA of volume and 1) is at or above Relative volume gate (1.05) and no long position is open.
• Enters short when (the bar index − last entry bar) is at or above Entry cooldown (8) and (the 14-period ATR / the close) is above 0.001 and short score is at or above 72 and delta is below −Delta pressure gate (0.03) and (volume / the larger of the 20-period SMA of volume and 1) is at or above Relative volume gate (1.05) and no short position is open.
• Places a stop at (the larger of (the average entry price − (the 14-period ATR × Stop ATR (1.6))) and long trail stop when Use trailing stop (on), else (the average entry price − (the 14-period ATR × Stop ATR (1.6)))), a target at (the average entry price + (the 14-period ATR × Target ATR (2.8))) when a long position is open.
• Places a stop at (the smaller of (the average entry price + (the 14-period ATR × Stop ATR (1.6))) and short trail stop when Use trailing stop (on), else (the average entry price + (the 14-period ATR × Stop ATR (1.6)))), a target at (the average entry price − (the 14-period ATR × Target ATR (2.8))) when a short position is open.
• Closes the position when a long position is open and (the bar index − entry bar) is at or above Time stop bars (80).
• Closes the position when a long position is open and a long position is open and (structure equals −1 or short score is above (long score + 12)).

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 which exchange the volume came from. The amount traded is not the same number everywhere.

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 Concordance Execution Model [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 Concordance Execution Model [JOAT] uses

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

• Arnaud Legoux moving average (ALMA): a Gaussian window with an offset
• ATR (average true range): the volatility number behind most stops
• Exponential moving average (EMA): what it measures and where it misleads
• Linear regression on a chart: the least-squares line, its slope, and the channel around it
• On-balance volume (OBV): a running tally of volume by direction
• Pivot points: swing pivots and floor-trader pivots, two different things with one name
• 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
• VWAP: the volume-weighted average price, and why its anchor is the whole question
