Nemo StatGuard Volatility Regime Filter

Trade only when conditions are normal. Most losing trades are not bad ideas — they are good ideas executed in the wrong volatility regime. StatGuard exists to answer one question before every trade: is this market behaving normally right now, or has it left its statistical range?

▶ WHAT IT DOES

StatGuard continuously reads two objective conditions and gives you a clear verdict on a compact chart panel:

• SPEED SHOCK — the current bar's range is far above its own historical baseline: an abnormal burst of speed where spreads widen, slippage grows and whipsaw risk spikes.
• ABNORMAL VOLATILITY REGIME — short-term ATR stretched versus its long-term norm: the market has left its usual behavior.

When either condition fires, the panel shows STAND ASIDE. Otherwise it shows TRADE OK. One glance tells you whether your usual playbook applies — before you commit money.

▶ KEY FEATURES

• Adaptive to each instrument — the baseline is built from the symbol's own history, not fixed magic numbers. Gold, indices, FX pairs and crypto each get their own norm.
• Works on any symbol and any timeframe.
• Compact corner dashboard: Speed, Vol Regime and the verdict at a glance. Position and colors configurable, no chart clutter.
• Non-repainting: it reads closed statistical data and never redraws history.
• Pairs with ANY strategy — trend following, mean reversion, breakout, SMC. It does not replace your method; it protects it.
• Fully auditable rule — every input is adjustable, nothing is a black box.

▶ INPUT PARAMETERS

• Lookback window — how much history builds the statistical baseline.
• Deviation threshold — how far the market must stretch to be flagged as abnormal.
• Panel position and full color settings.

▶ HOW TO USE IT

1. Drop StatGuard on the chart you trade.
2. Before every entry, check the panel.
3. TRADE OK — proceed with your setup as usual.
4. STAND ASIDE — reduce size, widen stops, or simply skip the trade. Abnormal regimes are where most systems break.

▶ WHAT IT IS — AND WHAT IT IS NOT

We build honest tools. StatGuard is a permission and context filter. It is NOT a signal generator, it does not predict direction, and it makes no profit promise — the rule is fully auditable and the decision is always yours. DEMO included — test it before you buy.
