Simpleton v0.04 Kimi_Cursor

What Is This?

Kimi_Cursor v0.04 is a TradingView Pine Script strategy that fuses the best of two engines: KIMI (5-indicator voting) and CURSOR (12 strategy backtester). It adds ADX regime detection, timeframe-adaptive TP/SL, and a Dynamic mode with soft-weighted voting.

It is the first cross-engine Simpleton variant — designed to beat all timeframes by adapting its behavior to market conditions.

Quick Start (TradingView)

Open TradingView and navigate to BTCUSD (any exchange)
Click Pine Editor at the bottom of the chart
Copy the entire contents of Simpletonv0.04_Kimi_Cursor.pine and paste into the editor
Click Add to Chart
The strategy will appear with default settings: Dynamic mode, Hybrid TP/SL
Open the Strategy Tester tab to see backtest results

Recommended first test: BTCUSD on the 1H or 45m timeframe. These showed the strongest v0.04 improvement over KIMI v0.01 (PF 1.099 vs 0.975).

Strategy Modes

Select a mode from the Strategy Mode dropdown in Settings → Inputs.

Dynamic (Recommended)

Regime-adaptive soft-weighted voting. Boosts trend-following indicators in trends, mean-reversion in ranges. The "beat all timeframes" mode.

Threshold: 4 (TREND/RANGE), 3 (MIXED)

Multi-Indicator

All 9 indicators vote equally. Min 3 confirmations needed (33% agreement). Like KIMI’s Multi mode but with 4 extra indicators.

Individual Strategies

Run any of the 9 indicators solo: RSI-2, SuperTrend, MACD, Triple EMA, BB, Ichimoku, HMA, SFP, or Z-Score.

The 9 Indicators

From KIMI (Original 5)

Indicator	Type	Buy Signal	Sell Signal	Regime
RSI-2	Mean Reversion	RSI(2) < 30 + 200 EMA filter	RSI(2) > 70 + 200 EMA filter	RANGE 2×
SuperTrend	Trend Following	Direction flip to support	Direction flip to resistance	TREND 2×
MACD	Trend Following	MACD crosses above signal	MACD crosses below signal	TREND 2×
Triple EMA	Trend Following	Fast > Med > Slow alignment	Fast < Med < Slow alignment	TREND 2×
Bollinger Bands	Mean Reversion	Close below lower band	Close above upper band	RANGE 2×

From CURSOR (New 4)

Indicator	Type	Buy Signal	Sell Signal	Regime
Ichimoku Cloud	Trend Following	TK cross up + above cloud + bullish cloud	TK cross down + below cloud + bearish cloud	TREND 2×
HMA Trend	Trend Following	HMA turns up + close > SMA50 + RSI < 75	HMA turns down + close < SMA50 + RSI > 25	TREND 2×
Swing Failure (SFP)	Universal	Sweeps low, closes above + wick ≥ 25%	Sweeps high, closes below + wick ≥ 25%	Always 1×
Z-Score MR	Mean Reversion	Z-Score < −2.0 (2 std devs cheap)	Z-Score > 2.0 (2 std devs expensive)	RANGE 2×

ADX Regime Detection

The engine classifies every bar into one of three regimes using the Average Directional Index (ADX):

RANGE
ADX < 15

MIXED
15–25

TREND
ADX > 25

How It Affects Voting (Dynamic Mode)

Regime	Trend-Following (5)	Mean-Reversion (3)	SFP	Max Votes	Threshold
TREND	2× weight	1× weight	1×	14	4
RANGE	1× weight	2× weight	1×	12	4
MIXED	1× weight	1× weight	1×	9	3

Soft weighting, not hard blocking. Unlike hard regime gating (which mutes indicators completely), v0.04 uses soft weighting. Mean-reversion indicators still contribute 1× in TREND — they catch dip-buy opportunities. Only their priority is reduced.

Hybrid TP/SL System

Three modes available under Settings → Inputs → Risk Management → TP/SL Mode:

Mode	Behavior	Best For
Hybrid (default)	Fixed 3%/2% on ≤1H charts, ATR-based on 4H+ charts	All timeframes — adapts automatically
ATR Auto-Scale	ATR multiples everywhere, scaled by timeframe	Volatility-first approach, longer TFs
Fixed Percentage	Fixed TP/SL % everywhere (KIMI v0.01 style)	Simplicity, known behavior

Timeframe Profiles (ATR Auto-Scale)

Timeframe	Profile	TP (ATR ×)	SL (ATR ×)	Max Hold
≤5m	SCALP	1.25×	0.75×	8 bars
15m	INTRADAY	1.5×	0.75×	12 bars
30m–1H	SWING-ID	2.0×	1.0×	15 bars
4H	SWING	2.5×	1.25×	20 bars
Daily	POSITION	3.5×	1.75×	12 bars
Weekly+	MACRO	4.5×	2.0×	8 bars

Max Hold Timeout is only active in ATR mode. It force-closes positions that have been open longer than the max hold period for the current timeframe. This prevents capital from being tied up in stale, directionless trades.

Dashboard

The top-right table on your chart shows real-time information:

Row	Shows
Mode	Current strategy mode (Dynamic, Multi-Indicator, etc.)
Regime	TREND / MIXED / RANGE + ADX value
TF Profile	SCALP / INTRADAY / SWING-ID / SWING / POSITION / MACRO
Long Votes	Current bullish vote count out of max possible
Short Votes	Current bearish vote count out of max possible
TP/SL	Active TP/SL levels (ATR multiples or fixed %)
ATR(14)	Current 14-period ATR value
Max Hold	Max bars before timeout (ATR mode only)
RSI(2)	Current RSI-2 value (green if oversold, red if overbought)
Z-Score	Current Z-Score (green if < −2, red if > 2)
Bars Held	How many bars the current position has been open

Python Validator

The Python backtester mirrors the Pine Script logic and compares v0.04 against KIMI v0.01 baseline.

Requirements

pip install pandas numpy yfinance

Usage

# Run all timeframes (15m, 30m, 45m, 1H, 4H, 1D)
python backtest_kimi_cursor_v04.py

# Single timeframe
python backtest_kimi_cursor_v04.py --timeframe 4h

# Show individual strategy results
python backtest_kimi_cursor_v04.py --verbose

# Save results to JSON
python backtest_kimi_cursor_v04.py --save

Output

Produces a comparison table for each timeframe showing KIMI v0.01 (fixed 3%/2%), v0.04 Hybrid (9-indicator + hybrid TP/SL), and v0.04 Dynamic (regime-weighted + hybrid TP/SL). Metrics: trades, win rate, profit factor, return %, max drawdown, Sharpe ratio.

Data limitation: yfinance provides max ~730 days of 1H data and ~59 days of 15m data. TradingView has 9+ years. The Python results are directionally accurate but TradingView is the authoritative backtest source.

1D	0.903	−2.49%	0.274	−23.16%	KIMI

v0.04 Dynamic beats KIMI on 45m and 1H — turning a −5.20% loss into a +21.48% gain (PF 1.099 vs 0.975). Load into TradingView for full 9-year validation on 4H and Daily.

Recommended Settings

Conservative (Default)

Setting	Value	Why
Strategy Mode	Dynamic	Adapts to regime automatically
TP/SL Mode	Hybrid	Fixed on short TFs, ATR on long TFs
Min Confirmations	3	33% agreement — filters noise with 9 indicators
ADX Trend Threshold	25	Standard ADX trend threshold
ADX Range Threshold	15	Standard ADX range threshold

Aggressive

Setting	Value	Why
Strategy Mode	Multi-Indicator	More signals, higher trade count
Min Confirmations	2	Lower bar = more trades, more risk
TP/SL Mode	ATR Auto-Scale	Volatility-adaptive everywhere

KIMI-Compatible

To replicate KIMI v0.01 behavior exactly:

Setting	Value
Strategy Mode	Multi-Indicator
Min Confirmations	2
TP/SL Mode	Fixed Percentage
Fixed TP %	3.0
Fixed SL %	2.0

This uses only 5 of the 9 indicators for voting (the original KIMI set) because the extra indicators will rarely fire simultaneously with the KIMI ones to reach min 2 on their own. The additional indicators are passive in this config.
