Entropy-Filtered GHOST Bracket Breakout

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Commodities (XAUUSD), Equities (Indices) · Timeframes: M15, H1

Thesis

Market volatility often clusters after the initial hour of trade (Brackets) and reacts to pre-defined institutional levels (Q-Levels). By filtering these entries through an 'entropy-based' trend (Dynamic EMA) and confirming with institutional order flow (GHOST), we can capture high-velocity expansions away from daily extremes. The edge exists because major participants use specific session ranges to establish their daily delta, creating follow-through momentum when broken.

Components

• GHOST OrderFlow Dashboard — DerivEAPro v10 (regime) — Defines the high-level bullish/bearish bias based on a hardcoded institutional pivot (1845.0) and order flow momentum angle.
• Unsupported const if expression reassignment qualifier (direction) — Acts as an 'entropy filter' where the trend smoothing length increases with the bar index, theoretically filtering out noise more aggressively as the session matures.
• Q-Levels V2.2 (entry) — Provides the precise execution levels (Gamma walls/SR) that act as catalysts for entry once regime and direction are aligned.
• Chandelier Exit Heiken Ashi Variant (exit) — Captures the trend-following meat of the move while exiting on Heiken Ashi volatility reversals.
• Daily High Low MTF (risk) — Standardizes risk management by anchoring stop-losses to the prior day's high/low, providing a structural 'point of failure.'
• MACD Classic (confirmation) — Ensures that entry at Q-Levels occurs with positive momentum confirmation (Histogram/Signal alignment).
• Brackets Indicator (volatility_filter) — Ensures trades only occur after the initial session range is established, preventing entries during low-volatility pre-market periods.

Known failure conditions

• Price enters a low-volatility 'squeeze' within the 09:00-10:00 bracket range for more than 4 hours.
• The CompassMapping momentum angle oscillates rapidly between +/- 45 degrees, indicating lack of order flow conviction.
• MACD Histogram stays near-zero despite price breaking Q-Levels.
