Fractal Confluence Session Momentum

Family: breakout · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: FX, Indices, Equities · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

Market price moves are most sustainable when institutional session liquidity (Session Range) aligns with long-term trend (SMA) and structural price breaks (Fractals). By waiting for a 2-bar fractal confirmation and ensuring momentum (RSI) and multi-factor health (IAE) are present, the strategy filters out low-conviction retail noise and follows the path of least resistance during trending regimes.

Components

• Simple Moving Average (SimpleMA) (regime) — Filters the broader market regime; only trades in the direction of the long-term trend to increase win probability.
• SuperTrend MT5 (FxGeek) (direction) — Acts as a medium-term directional filter and volatility-adjusted trend qualifier.
• Williams Fractals (entry) — Identifies structural pivot points; used as the breakout trigger for entry after the 2-bar confirmation lag.
• IAE — Technical Confluence Score (exit) — Aggregates 10 layers of data to provide a holistic 'health' score for the trade, triggering exits when confluence decays.
• Session Range (High/Low/Mid) (risk) — Provides objective volatility-based anchors for stop-loss placement and position sizing based on liquidity zones.
• RSI Area (Histogram) (confirmation) — Ensures entries occur with momentum support (above/below the 50-midline) rather than in exhausted states.

Known failure conditions

• Prolonged sideways consolidation where Session High and Low are within 0.1% of each other.
• Price action repeatedly crossing the SMA 200 within a short window (regime breakdown).
• Significant discrepancies between price direction and the IAE Confluence Score (divergence in the multi-modal engine).
