Fractal-Momentum TimeBlock Hybrid
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex (Majors), Equities (Mid-Cap) · Timeframes: M15, H1
Thesis
Intraday price action is most reliable when momentum, volume-weighted average price (VWAP), and specific candlestick formations align within fixed time blocks. By filtering for 'clean' structural regimes via Linefill tracking and using volatility-adjusted exits (ATR HA), the strategy captures the meat of intraday trends while using structural pivots (Fractals) to define objective risk.
Components
- Linefill All Tracker (regime) — Serves as a logic gate to ensure the system's structural object-tracking array is active and managing data, indicating a valid environment for price action analysis.
- Momentum (MOM) (direction) — Provides the underlying bias by measuring the raw rate of change over the last 10 periods.
- Pattern Recognition Master (entry) — Provides the specific trigger for entries by identifying high-probability Japanese candlestick reversals or continuations.
- ATR Heiken Ashi (exit) — Uses synthetic smoothed volatility to provide a trailing exit that is less sensitive to minor noise than standard ATR.
- Williams Fractals (risk) — Identifies local structural extremes for stop-loss placement, acknowledging the inherent 2-bar confirmation lag.
- Unsupported ta.macd Fast Length (Test Case) (confirmation) — Acts as a high-frequency trend filter using a 1.5/26/9 configuration to confirm momentum before trade execution.
- TimeBlocks (Multifunctional Period Separator) (volatility_filter) — Filters trades based on intraday time blocks and price relative to the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) balance.
Known failure conditions
- The MACD 1.5 length parameter causes a compile-time failure or undefined behavior in the specific execution environment.
- Market regime shifts to extremely low volatility where momentum (MOM) fluctuates around zero without trend direction.
- VWAP balance remains static for multiple time blocks, indicating a complete loss of volume-based conviction.
