Market regimes
Six market regimes, and what wins in each
A strategy that prints money in a strong uptrend can bleed in a quiet range. TensorTrader classifies every token and timeframe into one of six regimes from three measurements: ADX for trend strength, the slope of the trend for direction, and ATR for volatility. The script tournament and TT-Autotune both score results per regime, so you can see which indicators hold up in the market you actually have, not just on average.
Each regime page lists the tournament leaders for that regime with their scores, the timeframes where they ranked, and links to automate their alerts. Results are backtests with out-of-order replay on a fixed symbol set; treat them as a shortlist to paper trade, not a promise.
