EOM Efficient Power Flow Strategy

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities, Forex, Indices · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1

Thesis

Market trends are most sustainable when price moves easily on low volume (low resistance), suggesting a lack of counter-trend liquidity. By identifying these 'efficient' directional regimes using Ease of Movement and confirming them with statistical bull/bear dominance (Total Power), we can enter pullbacks via Stochastics with high confidence. Risk is structurally anchored to recent price reversal levels, which should theoretically hold if the efficiency hypothesis remains valid.

Components

• Ease of Movement (EOM) (regime) — Filters for market regimes where price is moving efficiently with low resistance (high price change relative to volume).
• Total Power Indicator (direction) — Confirms directional dominance by measuring the percentage of the lookback period where bulls/bears controlled the price action.
• Stochastic Oscillator (entry) — Provides a high-probability entry trigger within the established regime by identifying local oversold/overbought pullbacks.
• Connect MACD (Azullian) (exit) — Acts as a momentum-based trailing exit to capture trend extensions while exiting when the momentum delta shifts.
• Pivot Points Reversal Levels (risk) — Provides structural invalidation levels based on two-bar reversal pivots; used for dynamic stop-loss placement.

Known failure conditions

• EOM fluctuates rapidly around zero, indicating price/volume exhaustion rather than flow.
• Asset price stays within the range of two active Pivot Reversal levels for more than 50 bars.
• Total Power remains below 30 for both bulls and bears, signaling a total lack of conviction.
