Gann-Fisher Volatility Breakout System

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: Forex (Majors), Gold (XAUUSD), Equity Indices (SPX500) · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

Market momentum is most persistent when a volatility breakout (Squeeze release) occurs in the direction of a structural trend (HiLo). By using the Fisher Transform to filter out cyclical noise and the CCI to pinpoint impulsive entry points, the strategy identifies the highest-probability phase of a price expansion. The structural edge relies on the 'volatility smile' effect where price moves are least random during high-volatility regime shifts.

Components

• HiLo Activator (Pandini Version) (regime) — Determines the primary market regime (Up or Down) to ensure all trades align with the prevailing Gann-based trend.
• Fisher-based Scalping Indicator (direction) — Provides cyclical momentum confirmation; requires the Gaussian-distributed Fisher value to be aligned with the trade direction.
• CCI Arrows (entry) — Triggers the entry signal precisely when the Commodity Channel Index crosses the zero midline, indicating an impulsive move in the direction of the trend.
• Risk Reward Indicator Tool (exit) — Standardizes the exit logic using a fixed risk-to-reward ratio calculated at the moment of entry.
• Average True Range (ATR) (risk) — Provides a volatility-adjusted basis for the stop loss distance and determines position size to maintain constant dollar risk.
• NNFX Squeeze (Volatility Breakout) (volatility_filter) — Acts as a volatility gate, preventing entries during low-volatility 'squeezes' where whipsaws are most prevalent.

Known failure conditions

• Price frequently crosses the HiLo Activator line without following through (regime failure).
• NNFX Squeeze remains 'off' during high-momentum moves (volatility filter failure).
• Consecutive losses exceeding 15% drawdown on standard risk parameters.
