Fisher-QQE Imbalance Expansion Strategy
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, EQUITIES, CRYPTO · Timeframes: M15 (Execution), H4 (Regime)
Thesis
Market structure is defined by institutional imbalances (FVGs). When HTF price action reaches these zones, a cyclical momentum shift (Fisher) confirmed by a volatility-adjusted momentum trigger (QQE) identifies high-probability 'expansion legs.' The ZigZag provides a structural exit, assuming that a trend leg is likely to persist until a significant price reversal is detected.
Components
- ICT + FVG + RSI V1.2.12 (regime) — Sets the higher-timeframe 'liquidity context' by identifying Fair Value Gaps and oversold/overbought conditions that act as magnets or rejection points.
- Fisher-based Scalping Indicator (direction) — Determines the cyclical bias; the Fisher transform normalizes price to identify when the current cycle is expanding or contracting.
- QQE (Qualitative Quantitative Estimation) (entry) — Acts as the precise momentum trigger, ensuring we enter on a volatility-adjusted RSI shift rather than just price action.
- ZigZag Color (Classic) (exit) — Identifies structural trend shifts; the exit is triggered when the swing high/low structure reverses.
- Bollinger Bands (risk)
- TMA Risk Panel (volatility_filter)
Known failure conditions
- Price 'walks the bands' during a parabolic trend, causing multiple stop-outs before a reversal.
- FVGs are ignored during high-impact news, rendering the regime filter irrelevant.
- Fisher indicator enters a long-term flat period during low-volatility consolidation.
