Dynamic Momentum Reversal Pivot System
Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: Equities, Forex, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1
Thesis
Market trends are most reliable when they break out of a consolidation zone into a volatility expansion (Bollinger Bands) while supported by accelerating momentum (ROC/Momentum). However, these trends are prone to failure if the broader sentiment (RSI) is already overextended. By entering only in the 'momentum sweet spot' (RSI 50-70) and anchoring risk to structural reversal levels, we capture the meat of the move while exiting before the inevitable mean-reversion (Stochastic).
Components
- RSI Area (Histogram) (regime) — Acts as the primary trend filter; prevents entering longs when the market is already exhausted (overbought) or in a bearish regime.
- Rate of Change (ROC) (direction) — Measures the raw velocity of price to ensure the trend has enough inertia to overcome transaction costs.
- SuperTrend & Pivots (entry) — The SuperTrend flip serves as the tactical trigger, while Daily Pivots provide structural confluence.
- Stochastic Oscillator (exit) — Identifies local exhaustion points to exit the trade before a full trend reversal occurs.
- Pivot Points Reversal Levels (risk) — Uses local two-bar reversal price levels as logical, market-structure-based stop loss anchors.
- Momentum (Example) (confirmation) — Provides a secondary confirmation of price velocity relative to a fixed lookback, filtering out low-conviction price drifting.
- Bollinger Bands (Standard) (volatility_filter) — Ensures trade entries occur during periods of price expansion (above/below the SMA) rather than in low-volatility 'squeezes'.
Known failure conditions
- Prolonged 'band-walking' where price stays pinned to BB outer bands while Stochastic remains overbought, leading to premature exits.
- High-frequency oscillation around the RSI 50-level causing rapid regime-switching and signal flickering.
