Harmonic-Volume Mean Reversion (HVMR) Strategy

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX Majors, Equity Indices (SPX500, DAX), Liquid Commodities (XAUUSD) · Timeframes: M15, M30, H1

Thesis

The strategy operates on the hypothesis that price moves are governed by structural geometry (harmonics) but only materialize into profitable trends when supported by a surge in volume (AV) and directional momentum (Aroon/Bulls Power). By targeting the daily VWAP, the strategy exploits the tendency of price to return to the volume-weighted average of all market participants after a period of expansion or structural exhaustion.

Components

• Custom Pattern Detection (regime) — Defines the structural context (harmonic-like exhaustion/continuation) before looking for momentum.
• Aroon (direction) — Identifies the presence of a fresh trend; filters out mature, decaying trends.
• CCI Arrows (entry) — Acts as the precise execution trigger when momentum returns to the zero-line in the direction of the trend.
• Daily Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) (exit) — Provides a volume-justified 'fair price' target, assuming price reverts to mean or finds resistance at the day's average.
• Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels [BigBeluga] (risk) — Provides risk levels (Stop Loss) based on volume-validated price extremes rather than arbitrary pips.
• Bulls Power (confirmation) — Confirms that buyers (for longs) or sellers (for shorts) have established dominance over the EMA consensus.
• Average Volume (AV) (volatility_filter) — Filters out signals occurring in low-liquidity environments where S/R and patterns are less reliable.

Known failure conditions

• Consecutive failures of harmonic patterns to reach VWAP target during high-volatility news events.
• Aroon Up and Aroon Down both remaining below 50 for extended periods, indicating a total lack of trend.
• Daily VWAP frequently crossing through price without providing resistance/magnet effect.
