Grid-Filtered HiLo Institutional Trend Strategy

Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex, Indices, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

Market trends often overextend; by entering a trend flip only when price is within a statistical 'fair value' zone (Grid boundaries) and placing stops behind institutional liquidity (SNAP), we can capture the meat of a move while avoiding buying the top of a breakout. Momentum exhaustion (RSI) captures profits before mean-reversion occurs.

Components

• Grid Bot [Grid range plugin] Two Moving Avarages [psyll] (regime) — Used to define the 'Trade Zone'. We only seek trend-following entries when price is within the calculated Grid High/Low boundaries to avoid over-extended 'blow-off' moves.
• HiLo Activator (Pandini Version) (direction) — Provides the primary trend bias. Only long entries are permitted when price is above the HiLo line, and short entries when below.
• Arrows Base Template (entry) — Triggers the entry signal when price closes above/below the HiLo line while within the Grid Bot boundaries.
• Relative Strength Index (RSI) (exit) — Acts as a momentum exhaustion exit. Longs exit on RSI > 70; Shorts exit on RSI < 30.
• SNAP HTF_LTF Indicator (risk) — Identifies institutional liquidity pools and DRT levels to set dynamic Stop Loss levels and filter trades based on proximity to major HTF supply/demand.

Known failure conditions

• Prolonged low-volatility 'flat' regimes where HiLo Activator whipsaws continuously within the Grid range.
• Institutional 'Liquidity Sweeps' that penetrate SNAP HTF levels before resuming the trend.
• RSI remaining pinned at extreme levels during parabolic moves, causing premature exits.
