Fractal Momentum Expansion System
Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex, Equities, Indices · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1
Thesis
The strategy assumes that market 'runs' are most likely to persist when a structural price breakout (Fractal Store) coincides with expanding volatility (Frankenstein) and positive momentum (TDI). By requiring all three factors to align before the Triple EMA trigger, we isolate high-conviction trend phases and use market structure (S&D) for logical, non-arbitrary risk placement.
Components
- Traders Dynamic Index (TDI) (regime) — Filters for momentum-supported regimes where price is trending relative to smoothed RSI volatility bands.
- Mn Fractal Store (direction) — Provides the primary directional bias by identifying structural breaks of historical pivot peaks and troughs.
- Triple Exponential Moving Average (EMA) (entry) — Provides the specific timing trigger based on the hierarchical alignment of short, medium, and long-term trends.
- Parabolic SAR (exit) — Provides a dynamic, accelerating trailing stop to lock in profits during momentum runs.
- Supply & Demand Zones (NNFX) (risk) — Determines the technical stop-loss location and calculates position size based on the distance to the nearest zone boundary.
- Frankenstein Ultimate Pro - ATM Logic (volatility_filter) — Acts as a volatility gate to ensure entries occur during high-expansion bars, avoiding low-liquidity whipsaws.
Known failure conditions
- Consecutive losses where price hits Parabolic SAR immediately after entry, indicating a lack of momentum follow-through.
- Mn Fractal Store levels being constantly breached in both directions (ranging market).
- ATR-based volatility filter fails to trigger during high-impact news events leading to missed moves or slippage.
