IchiV3 is a systematic long/short strategy for Hyperliquid perpetual futures, powered by multi-timeframe Ichimoku regime detection to align with prevailing trend structure and capture extended moves in both directions.

How it works

The strategy combines higher-timeframe regime assessment with 1-hour execution. Long exposure is deployed when conditions transition into supportive trend regimes. Short exposure is deployed when bearish structure reasserts following failed upside recovery attempts.

Exit logic is fully rules-driven and momentum-sensitive, with protective mechanisms that adapt as trades progress.

The allocation engine is market-cap aware, scaling exposure toward deeper, more liquid assets while reducing sizing in smaller, riskier assets.
