Buddha Box Anchor Trend

Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities, Futures, Crypto · Timeframes: 30m, 1H, 4H

Thesis

Market breakouts are only sustainable if backed by aggressive order flow (CVD) and high relative volume participation (Regime Score); using a total-market-history EMA anchor provides a 'gravity' point to filter out counter-trend noise.

Components

• Custom 006 Hybrid Table Scanner (regime) — Ensures the strategy only operates when both short-term trend (EMA cross) and relative volume participation are present.
• Unsupported UDF Final Switch Const Reassignment Qualifier (direction) — Provides a 'total-history' anchor; price relative to this extreme-lag EMA determines the primary long-term bias.
• Buddha Money Flow (entry) — Identifies aggressive market participants via cumulative volume delta and price-level imbalances.
• Risk Reward Indicator Tool (exit) — Standardizes the exit logic into a fixed 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio based on the SAR distance.
• Parabolic SAR (risk) — Provides an objective, accelerating trailing stop to protect capital during trend exhaustion.
• Momentum (MOM) (confirmation) — Confirms that the breakout has sufficient velocity to overcome noise.
• Boxline (Dynamic Range Breakout) (volatility_filter) — Acts as a volatility gate; entries only occur when price breaks out of the most recent consolidation 'box'.

Known failure conditions

• The UDF EMA becomes effectively a horizontal line as bar_index increases, rendering the direction filter useless on long-duration charts.
• Persistent low-volume environments where the Hybrid Scanner never reaches a score of 2.
• Boxline 'expansion' leading to multiple false breakouts in high-volatility ranging markets.
