Fractal Momentum UDT Breakout
Family: breakout · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: FX, Equities, Crypto · Timeframes: 1H, 4H, D1
Thesis
Market breakouts from Williams Fractals represent a release of compressed local liquidity. When these breakouts align with a positive point-delta regime (UDT Slope) and positive momentum (CCI) during high volatility (ATR), they are more likely to result in a sustained trend than a mean-reversion event. Profit is taken at momentum exhaustion (RSI), and risk is managed via Fibonacci retracements which represent natural psychological support/resistance levels.
Components
- Imported UDT typed UDF params Test (regime) — Used as a slope-based regime filter to ensure the underlying price delta (defined in the test logic) aligns with the trade direction.
- CCI Arrows (direction) — Provides the primary directional bias; zero-line crosses indicate a shift in medium-term momentum.
- Williams Fractals (entry) — Identifies local liquidity zones. Entry occurs on a breakout of the fractal high/low, accounting for the 2-bar confirmation lag.
- RSI Area (Histogram) (exit) — Used as a mean-reversion exit signal when the histogram reaches overbought/oversold extremes.
- Auto Fibonacci (risk) — Determines dynamic stop-loss placement based on the 61.8% retracement level of the current price swing.
- Average True Range (ATR) (volatility_filter) — Acts as a volatility gate to ensure breakouts occur during periods of expanding market range.
Known failure conditions
- Persistent sideways price action where price oscillates between fractal levels without hitting RSI extremes.
- Market environments where ATR remains below its 50-period average for extended periods.
- Failure of the UDT library logic to handle non-standard price gapping.
