Overdrive spots a move that has run out of steam, confirms the turn, and skips the sideways mess.
Momentum · NQ · 15m / GC · 5m
Overdrive hunts for exhaustion moves: the moment a trend runs out of the buyers or sellers it needs to keep going. That is where markets tend to snap back. The strategy reads that exhaustion first, waits for momentum (the speed of the price move) to confirm the turn is real, then checks the bigger trend so it only trades once the choppy, directionless stretches have cleared.
On most days, Overdrive does nothing, and that is by design: it waits for all three signals to agree before it commits. The published test, on NQ (the Nasdaq 100 futures contract) 15-minute charts and GC (the gold futures contract) 5-minute charts from 2024 to 2026, produced just 13 trades. That is a small sample, worth knowing before you read too much into the win rate. The exact rules, thresholds and timing behind each decision ship with the code, not with this page.
Overdrive scans NQ and GC for moves that have stretched further than the market can sustain. It looks for the moment buyers or sellers are running out of fuel, before the reversal shows up on the chart.
A tired move is not enough on its own. Overdrive waits for momentum to turn in the same direction as the exhaustion reading before it takes the signal seriously. If momentum does not confirm, there is no trade, no matter how stretched the move looks.
The last check is the trend. Overdrive uses it to screen out choppy, sideways conditions, the kind that wreck a reversal trade before it can play out. Clear that check, and the trade goes out.
Overdrive suits day traders who already trade NQ on 15-minute charts and gold futures on 5-minute charts, and who would rather wait for three signals to agree than trade every swing.

Test window and data: NQ 15m · GC 5m, 2024–2026
Cost model: Commission $0.62/contract (futures) · 0.10%/trade (equities) · slippage 1 tick (a small price slip assumed on every fill) · pyramiding 0 (never adds to an open position) · bar-close calc only (every decision is made at the close of a bar) · fixed size (the same position size on every trade)
Verification: Checked twice: the same rules were run separately on TradingView and in Python, and both runs had to agree. The public certificate carries the record hash, a digital fingerprint that shows the numbers have not been altered since.
These are backtested results, meaning the rules were run on past price data. They are historical and hypothetical, they include the modeled costs above, and they do not guarantee future performance.

You receive the complete strategy as code that is yours to keep. The exact rules and settings are inside those files; this page only explains the idea.
Coil catches the breakout, the move out of a tight range, and Overdrive catches the reversal once that move runs out of steam. Together they cover both ends of the same market cycle.
