Darvas-AI Statistical Breakout System

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities, Forex Major Pairs · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

The strategy operates on the hypothesis that major market trends begin with a structural breakout from consolidation (Darvas) and are sustainable only when accompanied by positive tick-velocity (Flexible Momentum) and smoothed momentum (RSIOMA). However, because individual assets often overshoot their fair value, the most efficient exit is not a fixed price target but a statistical signal from a correlated pair (AI Pair Trading), identifying when the asset has moved too far relative to its fundamental peers.

Components

• Darvas Boxes MetaTrader 5 (regime) — Establishes the macro regime by identifying structural consolidation and defining the 'breakout' zone.
• RSIOMA (RSI of Moving Average) (direction) — Provides a smoothed directional filter to ensure momentum is aligned with the box breakout.
• Stochastic Oscillator (entry) — Acts as the high-sensitivity trigger for entering the move once structural and directional filters are met.
• AI Pair Trading System v1.0 (exit) — Exits positions based on relative value exhaustion against a correlated asset, assuming mean reversion of the spread occurs after a trend burst.
• GOM BB Prediction (300 bars) (risk) — Calculates the stop-loss level based on the projected linear trajectory of the lower/upper Bollinger Bands.
• Bears Power (confirmation) — Confirms that bearish pressure is receding during a long entry or bullish pressure is fading for shorts.
• Flexible Momentum (volatility_filter) — Filters out low-liquidity breakouts by requiring a minimum tick-level velocity.

Known failure conditions

• AI Pair correlation breaks down (Spread diverges indefinitely).
• Market enters a 'jagged' regime where Darvas boxes overlap constantly (High churn).
• Tick data unavailability prevents the Volatility Filter from activating.
