Adaptive Efficiency Order-Flow Trend System

Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex, Equities, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1

Thesis

The strategy hypothesizes that sustainable market trends are identifiable by the confluence of 'Efficient Trend' (KAMA), 'Hierarchical Alignment' (Ribbon), and 'Professional Volume Participation' (GHOST). By using ROC to enter only when momentum accelerates in the trend direction, the system avoids the late-stage entries common in lagging systems. The edge is derived from filtering out low-conviction price moves.

Components

• MultiKAMA (TyphooN) (regime) — Filters out ranging regimes by requiring an efficiency ratio that favors trend-following environments before any signals are considered.
• Moving Average Ribbon (chingc) (direction) — Ensures hierarchical trend alignment across multiple timeframes, providing a 'filter' to trade only in the direction of the primary and secondary trends.
• Rate of Change (ROC) (entry) — Acts as the final trigger by identifying the exact moment momentum shifts back in favor of the established trend.
• Chandelier Exit (exit) — A volatility-adjusted trailing stop that allows winning trades to run while protecting capital from sudden reversals.
• Support and Resistance (Fractal-based) (risk) — Provides structural anchors for stop-loss placement based on actual market swing points rather than arbitrary percentages.
• GHOST — OrderFlow Intelligence (confirmation) — Validates the price action with volume-based sentiment and cumulative delta proxies, ensuring the move has professional backing.

Known failure conditions

• Flat MultiKAMA for extended periods indicating a complete lack of trending efficiency.
• Successive fractal breaks without ROC crossing 0, suggesting a trend change without momentum.
• OrderFlow sentiment (GHOST) diverging significantly from Ribbon direction.
