Momentum (momentum)

The momentum portable strategy: what it trades, every parameter key with its TOML type, and whether it mounts live today — rendered from the strategy registry.

Momentum follows a momentum signal through the controller seam, going with the recent direction. It is one of the portable strategies — the names vike_strategy::strategy_by_name resolves for a live mount as well as a backtest — so a run profile or a daemon names it as momentum under [strategy], and the keys below arrive through [strategy.params]. The registry page explains the roster; the simulator-only page lists the names a backtest can still resolve that a daemon cannot.

Parameters

Each key is listed with the TOML type its reader insists on — read off the strategy's own from_params by the registry's gate, never chosen (vike_strategy::registry::PARAM_KEYS). A key of the wrong type is a silent no-op, which is why the type is stated.

Live mount

Mountable on the live core today: the registry's LIVE_CAPABLE row carries no blocker, so a daemon that names this strategy will trade it.

Where this comes from

The roster is vike_strategy::registry::PORTABLE_STRATEGIES; its parameter table and live verdict are that registry's PARAM_KEYS and LIVE_CAPABLE rows, held exhaustive against each other by the registry's own tests and exported as templates.json at every release. The glosses on this page are the one hand-written part; every table is rendered.
