Gaussian ALMA & Order Block Session Hybrid
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities, FX, Indices · Timeframes: M15, H1
Thesis
High-momentum breakouts (Order Blocks) originating from structural support/resistance during the NY session are more likely to lead to sustained trends when confirmed by multi-factor momentum and high relative volume. The use of ALMA with floating levels ensures that entries are taken within a healthy trend rather than at points of statistical exhaustion. SSL Channel provides a non-subjective trailing mechanism to capture the meat of the move while protecting against reversals.
Components
- ALMA with Floating Levels (regime) — Establishes the macro-regime to ensure trades are taken in the direction of a smoothed trend while avoiding 'overextended' entries near exhaustion levels.
- Best Volume Trend Expert (direction) — Provides market structure context (support/resistance and MACD momentum) specifically within the high-liquidity session window.
- Sonarlab - Order Blocks (entry) — Identifies the precise entry trigger based on high-momentum ROC-based supply/demand zones.
- SSL Channel (exit) — Acts as the primary trend-following trailing exit and signal invalidation tool.
- RVOL (Relative Volume) (risk) — Used to scale position sizes and validate the 'significance' of the Order Block breakout.
- Bulls Power (Elder Ray) (confirmation) — Confirms buying pressure (price high relative to EMA) for longs and the inverse for shorts.
- GFRMa Pivot HTF3 Dashboard (volatility_filter) — Filters for multivariate momentum alignment (RSI/CCI) and identifies if price is breaking out of historical ranges.
Known failure conditions
- The strategy fails in 'sawtooth' markets where SSL flips frequently within the ALMA floating levels.
- Invalidated if the manual trendline dependency of the Best Volume Trend component is not fulfilled, resulting in zero signals.
- Failure if RVOL remains below 1.0 for extended periods, preventing any entry triggers.
