Thesis

Harmonic patterns identify structural 'exhaustion' zones where supply and demand reach temporary equilibrium. By requiring a Footmap synthetic delta confirmation (volume proxy) and a Donchian breakout (momentum confirmation), we filter the inherent repainting risk of geometric patterns. The edge exists because price often makes a final 'thrust' into a harmonic zone before a genuine momentum shift occurs; we only enter when that momentum shift is objectively verified.

Components

• Custom Pattern Detection (Harmonic Designer) (regime) — Establishes the structural regime by identifying potential harmonic completion zones where price exhaustion usually occurs.
• Footmap – Heat & Volume [v1] (direction) — Provides a synthetic proxy for order flow pressure; ensures the breakout is supported by volume distribution rather than low-liquidity spikes.
• Donchian Channels (entry) — Acts as the mechanical trigger for entry when price moves beyond the established volatility range of the pattern's terminal leg.
• Pivot Point S&R with GMT Correction (exit) — Provides objective, time-synced price targets and institutional liquidity levels for profit taking.
• TMA Risk Panel (risk) — Calculates dynamic position sizing and stop loss distance based on current market volatility (ATR).

Known failure conditions

• Harmonic patterns frequently 'stretch' (repaint), causing multiple false breakout entries in a trending market.
• Low volume environments where the synthetic delta becomes noise rather than a signal of pressure.
• Gap events that skip the GMT-corrected pivot levels or the ATR-based stop loss.
