Chan-MTF Structural Momentum Hybrid
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, Equity Indices, Crypto · Timeframes: M30, H1, H4
Thesis
Market structure recursions (Chan Lun signals) represent points of order-flow imbalance that, when aligned with multi-timeframe trend momentum and confirmed by volume accumulation (CMF), provide a falsifiable edge for capturing expansion phases. The inclusion of a technical regime test ensures the compute environment is stable for high-calculation overhead indicators.
Components
- String format time placeholder timestamp out of range Test (regime) — Acts as a technical 'circuit breaker' regime filter. If the environment fails to handle INT64_MAX (producing a string length other than 8), the system assumes technical instability and halts trading.
- MA(x6) Multi-Timeframe Visualizer (direction) — Determines the primary trend bias by requiring price to be on the correct side of the short-to-medium term timeframe MAs.
- Chan Lun Engine (MT4 DLL version) (entry) — Identifies high-probability structural turning points (2nd Buy) or trend continuations (3rd Buy) based on recursive price action fractals and hubs.
- FractalScanner (exit) — Provides objective local swing high/low points for trailing stops and logic-based exits to capture meat of the move.
- w8-hold-size-renamed-control-v6-v1 (risk) — Provides a normalized risk scalar of 1.0 to ensure consistent position sizing across different market environments where structural volatility is high.
- Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) (confirmation) — Validates that price structure breakouts are supported by actual volume-weighted accumulation or distribution.
Known failure conditions
- Chan Lun structural hubs fail to hold, leading to 'Hub Overlap' where price oscillates within previous ranges.
- CMF remains near zero despite clear price trends, indicating low liquidity or exhaustion.
- Technical regime test (string length) changes, indicating a change in the underlying computation environment or timestamp handling.
