Elliott-SMC Liquidity Nexus
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, EQUITIES, CRYPTO · Timeframes: H1, H4
Thesis
The strategy hypothesizes that market trends are fractal and institutional liquidity is 'trapped' at specific Fibonacci levels (OTE) within Elliott Motive waves. By using a smoothed Heikin-Ashi stochastic to confirm the end of a corrective retracement within a larger motive cycle, one can enter high-probability continuations while using spread-aware volatility to protect against stop-hunts.
Components
- Elliott Wave [LuxAlgo] (regime) — Defines the broad market cycle; trades are only taken in the direction of an active Motive Wave (3 or 5).
- SMC Visualizer (ICT Library) (direction) — Identifies institutional 'Optimal Trade Entry' (OTE) zones and Order Blocks within the Elliott cycle.
- Stochastic Oscillator (entry) — Captures local momentum pivots when price is within the SMC-defined zone.
- SuperTrend (exit) — Acts as a trailing stop-loss and final exit signal if the trend structure breaks.
- Spread Monitor (Tick-Level) (risk) — Filters entries during high-volatility/low-liquidity periods and adjusts SL buffers based on max observed spread.
- OTLIB Stochastic Oscillator (Heikin-Ashi based) (confirmation) — Provides a smoothed trend-confirmation signal to filter out noise from raw price action.
Known failure conditions
- Elliott Wave sequence is invalidated (e.g., Wave 4 enters Wave 1 price territory).
- Consecutive CHoCH (Change of Character) signals in both directions within a short period (ranging).
- Spread_max exceeds the average candle body size, indicating illiquidity.
