Gamma-Sigmoid Structural Hybrid
Family: hybrid · Regime: mixed · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities (NQ/QQQ/NDX) · Timeframes: M5, H1
Thesis
NQ/QQQ markets are heavily influenced by the 'Gamma Landscape'—institutional hedging requirements at specific options strikes. This strategy hypothesizes that high-probability entries occur when short-term cycles (DPO) and multi-timeframe trends (Heatmap) align with these Gamma levels, provided momentum hasn't reached non-linear exhaustion points (Sigmoid). By entering at PiPi structural levels, the trader captures moves within the institutional framework of 'market containers.'
Components
- Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) (regime) — Filters out the secular trend to identify the current phase of the short-term cycle.
- Average Force (direction) — Provides the primary momentum direction by measuring the position of price relative to its recent high-low range.
- PiPi (Price Infrastructure & Position Interface) (entry) — Maps market structure to identify high-probability Fibonacci retracement levels for precise entry.
- Chandelier Exit (exit) — An ATR-based trailing stop that adapts to market volatility, ensuring exits are dictated by trend exhaustion.
- GEX Levels + Breakout Structure + Session AVWAP — NQ/NDX/QQQ (risk) — Utilizes institutional options positioning (Gamma Exposure) and session-based volume-weighted price to set logical risk boundaries.
- MTF Heatmap Template (confirmation) — Confirms that the intraday setup is aligned with the prevailing trend on the H1 and D1 timeframes.
- Logistic Function (SIGMOID) (volatility_filter) — Filters out entries when momentum is reaching 'saturation' points (0 or 1), preventing buying the top or selling the bottom of a parabolic move.
Known failure conditions
- Prolonged flat-market periods where GEX levels cluster and provide no directional bias.
- Sudden shift in Options Volatility (VIX spike) that invalidates static GEX levels from the previous session.
- Price breaking through Max Pain or Gamma Walls with high volume, suggesting a regime shift not captured by DPO.
