Global Volatility Pullback & Volume Node Filter
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex (Major Pairs) · Timeframes: H4, D1
Thesis
Trends are only tradable when they possess sufficient relative volatility to overcome transaction costs and when institutional liquidity (Volume POC) acts as a floor for price action. By filtering for high-intensity trend power (TTF) and extreme price deviation (CCI), and entering only on RSI-identified 'dips,' the strategy captures the highest probability expansion phases of a trend while using volume nodes to minimize stop-out risk.
Components
- Commodity Channel Index (CCI) (regime) — Establishes the 'momentum regime' by identifying when prices are deviating significantly from their mean absolute deviation, suggesting a non-random trend.
- Trend Trigger Factor (TTF) with T3 Smoothing (direction) — Provides the directional bias by comparing current price range intensity to historical ranges, smoothed to reduce noise.
- Relative Strength Index (RSI) (entry) — Acts as the tactical entry trigger by identifying short-term pullbacks (oversold/overbought) within the established macro trend.
- ZigZag Color (Classic) (exit) — Identifies structural trend reversals; an opposite-colored segment suggests the current impulse has exhausted.
- Volume Profile + Pivot Levels [ChartPrime] (risk) — Provides institutional-grade support/resistance levels (POC) for dynamic stop-loss placement and risk-to-reward calculation.
- Range Volatility Monitor (volatility_filter) — Acts as a gatekeeper to ensure the strategy only operates when the current symbol's volatility exceeds the mean global FX volatility, preventing whipsaws in stagnant markets.
Known failure conditions
- Current symbol price repeatedly fails to move away from the Volume Profile POC despite Volatility Monitor being active.
- CCI and TTF signals diverge (one bullish, one bearish) for more than 5 consecutive bars.
- Average trade duration falls below 3 bars, indicating high-frequency noise interference.
