How Z Cross Operates

Z Cross is a dual-phase ZLEMA (Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average) engine designed to adapt dynamically across market regimes. Its edge comes from:

Auto-Preset Bucketing: Trade parameters automatically scale based on market intensity (low volatility vs. parabolic trends).
Proof-of-Move Filtering: Ensures entries only trigger when momentum confirms, filtering out false signals.
Regime-Aware Execution: Trades are allowed only in favorable regimes (trend or parabolic) and cut off in range-bound conditions.
Adaptive Stops & Time Exits: Positions are capped with intelligent stop-loss and time-based exits, minimizing exposure.

The Edge

High Sharpe / Sortino: Despite a modest ~45% win rate, Z Cross thrives by cutting losers quickly and letting winners compound, producing institutional-grade risk-adjusted returns.
Low Drawdown: Max drawdown stayed below −10% all year, far outperforming typical hedge fund volatility.
Diversification Value: Works well alongside other Tetrad algos (Fury, Praxis, Elektro, Bones Jones) as its trade logic and frequency differ, creating uncorrelated alpha streams.
