Adaptive Volume-Cycle Confluence Trader

Thesis

Price trends are most sustainable when supported by both volume accumulation (Float Trader) and cyclic momentum alignment (SAM). By using an ATR-based trigger (UTBot) within these confirmed windows, we can capture the meat of a move, while the 10-layer confluence score (IAE) detects the subtle breakdown of multi-modal support before a full trend reversal occurs. The structural stop (Fractals) ensures we are only exited by a change in market structure.

Components

• Float Trader Indicator (regime) — Determines the prevailing market structure and 'float' exhaustion levels to define if we are in a volume-supported trend.
• Smoothed Adaptive Momentum (direction) — Filters trend direction by adapting to the market's dominant cycle, ensuring momentum aligns with the macro regime.
• UTBot Alerts (entry) — Provides the execution trigger based on ATR-trailing stop breakouts, capturing the start of a volatility expansion.
• IAE — Technical Confluence Score (exit) — Aggregates multiple data layers to identify exhaustion or loss of confluence for exiting positions before reversals.
• Williams Fractals (risk) — Defines structural pivot points for hard stop-loss placement based on 5-bar local extremes.

Known failure conditions

• SAM fails to adapt to rapid regime shifts (cycle smearing), leading to stale direction signals.
• Volume float resets occur too frequently in low-liquidity environments, creating false regime changes.
• The IAE score remains high despite price breakdown due to lagging composite layers.
