More details : Modular Architecture – 4 Complementary Trading modules

CODA is built on a modular architecture composed of four independent and complementary trading modules, each designed to exploit a specific market configuration on the Nasdaq-100.
This structure allows the system to adapt across market regimes rather than relying on a single behavior.

The modules activate or deactivate automatically depending on market conditions.

1. Core-Grid – Active Trading in Bull Markets

The Core-Grid module is the most active component of CODA.

It exploits natural market fluctuations during bullish phases by buying pullbacks within an established upward context and closing positions relatively quickly.

• Active buy-side grid logic

• Buys pullbacks within bullish market conditions

• Frequent, medium-term transactions

• Automatically deactivates in bearish markets

Role:
Turn volatility into repeated opportunities and outperform during bullish phases while avoiding unfavorable exposure.

2. Opportunist – Capturing Major Bull Cycles

The Opportunist module is highly selective and rarely activated.

It is designed to capture major long-term bullish cycles, typically following extended bearish or consolidation phases.

• Very long-term buy exposure

• Activated only on strong signals of a new bullish cycle

• Low trade frequency, high conviction

• Acts as a performance amplifier during rare market opportunities

Role:
Ensure CODA remains positioned during major cycles that should not be missed.

3. Dip-Grid – Exploiting Deep Corrections

The Dip-Grid module allows CODA to stay offensive during strong market corrections.

It progressively builds buy positions at extreme discount levels, aiming to benefit from technical rebounds and mean-reversion moves.

• Progressive buy grid during deep drawdowns

• Activated on extreme discount levels

• Grouped position management for precise risk control

• Can generate performance during corrective or bearish phases

Role:
Transform excessive market pessimism into opportunity while maintaining structured risk control.

4. Adaptive – Long-Term Trend Following (Bidirectional)

The Adaptive module is the most flexible module of CODA and the only one capable of taking short positions.

It follows the long-term market direction, remaining exposed as long as the underlying structure remains valid.

• Long-term trend-following logic

• Only selling module within CODA

• Bidirectional and symmetric positioning (buy or sell)

• Exposure maintained while the market trend remains valid

Role:
Allow CODA to remain effective during extended directional moves, including bear markets where long-only strategies are limited.

Overall Philosophy

By combining these four modules, CODA is designed to:

• Perform in bullish markets

• Exploit corrections and rebounds

• Remain effective and limit exposure in bearish environments

• Avoid dependence on a single market scenario

CODA is built as a robust, long-term automated trading system, focused on consistency and adaptability rather than short-term speculation.
