Gamma-Structure Adaptive Trend Follower (GSAT)

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities, Indices (NQ/NDX/QQQ) · Timeframes: M5, M15

Thesis

The strategy exploits the confluence of market structure (Order Blocks) and derivatives positioning (GEX). The hypothesis is that significant price moves in NQ are driven by institutional liquidity seeking (OB/FVG) and constrained by market-maker hedging (GEX Walls). By entering only when price action, momentum, and regime are aligned, we trade with the 'path of least resistance' until Kaufman's Adaptive MA signals a loss in move efficiency.

Components

• HiLo Activator (Pandini Version) (regime) — Defines the primary trend regime; only trades in the direction of the HiLo flip.
• CCI / Connectable [Azullian] (direction) — Provides momentum confirmation to ensure the trend is accelerating during entry.
• OrderBlock FVG Detector (entry) — Identifies institutional liquidity zones (Order Blocks) for high-probability entry points.
• MultiKAMA (TyphooN) (exit) — Acts as an adaptive trailing exit that tightens during high efficiency moves and widens during noise.
• GEX Levels + Breakout Structure + Session AVWAP — NQ/NDX/QQQ (risk) — Uses institutional Gamma Exposure levels as logical structural boundaries for Stop Loss and risk management.
• MindTheGap (volatility_filter) — Filters out trades during extreme volatility gaps that often lead to immediate reversals or slippage.

Known failure conditions

• Persistent horizontal oscillation of price across the MultiKAMA line (choppy market).
• GEX levels becoming stale or price ignoring the Zero Gamma level entirely.
• CCI failing to reach overbought/oversold extremes despite OB/FVG signals.
