Bias-Confirmed Capital Flow Trend Sniping
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Crypto Futures, Indices Futures · Timeframes: 1H, 4H
Thesis
Trends are sustainable only when price consistently exceeds linear predictions (Mean Error bias) and is validated by an influx of new capital (Open Interest). By entering on sensitive momentum pullbacks (Stochastic 3) within these confirmed regimes, we can capture the meat of a move and exit as the cyclical balance (Center of Gravity) shifts, using volatility bands to protect capital.
Components
- Mean Error (ME) (regime) — Used as a regime filter to ensure the current price action possesses a consistent directional bias (positive for longs, negative for shorts) relative to its historical mean estimate.
- Aroon (direction) — Provides the primary directional bias; filters for young trends where the 'Up' line has recently surged, indicating a new cycle of highs.
- Stochastic Oscillator (Stoch) (entry) — The ultra-short period provides hyper-sensitive entry timing on minor pullbacks within the established Aroon trend.
- Ehlers Center of Gravity (CG) (exit) — Identifies the balance point of the immediate cycle to signal exit before the momentum completely reverses.
- Bollinger Bands (risk) — Defines the 'boundary of normality'; the lower band serves as a dynamic stop-loss level for longs, adapting to volatility.
- Open Interest Suite [Aggregated] - By Leviathan (confirmation) — Confirms that the trend and momentum are backed by aggressive market participants (new capital) rather than just low-liquidity spikes.
Known failure conditions
- Aroon Up and Down lines both stay below 30 for extended periods (ranging market).
- Mean Error oscillates around zero with high amplitude, suggesting high volatility with no directional bias.
- Open Interest remains flat despite large price moves, indicating a lack of institutional/aggressive participation.
