Volatility Catalyst
ATR Expansion Breakout
Strategy Template · Event-Driven

Volatility Catalyst. Rides the volatility expansion after a catalyst.

Trades the reaction, not the news, sits flat through the coil before a scheduled event, then rides the volatility expansion that breaks the pre-event range. No predictions about the outcome, just disciplined positioning for the move it unleashes.

Like every Liquid Edge template, Volatility Catalyst is verified, backtested, and deployable in one click, on a fully simulated paper balance first, then live on your own exchange whenever the results earn it.

How it trades
01
Sit through the coil

Before the catalyst, the template stays deliberately flat while the range compresses.

02
Let the event decide

The direction of the post-event range break picks the side, not the headline.

03
Ride the expansion

ATR expansion carries the position; the trade ends as volatility normalizes.
