Heiken KAMA Alligator Volume Trend-Seeker

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

Thesis

Price trends are most likely to persist when three conditions are met simultaneously: a smoothed structural trend (Heiken Ashi/Alligator), an adaptive volatility-adjusted trend (KAMA), and an expansion in volume momentum (VO). By waiting for a specific Japanese candlestick pattern (Pattern Recognition Master) to trigger within this high-confluence environment, the strategy attempts to capture the 'meat' of the move while ignoring low-volume noise.

Components

• Heiken Ashi (regime) — Establishes the primary trend regime; ensures the smoothed price action supports the trade direction.
• MultiKAMA (TyphooN) (direction) — Acts as the adaptive trend filter to ensure entry occurs only when price is on the correct side of adaptive momentum.
• Pattern Recognition Master (entry) — Provides the precise trigger by identifying classic Japanese candlestick reversals/continuations within the established trend.
• Commodity Channel Index (CCI) (exit) — Signals momentum exhaustion or mean reversion back to the trend for profit-taking.
• ATR Heiken Ashi (risk) — Calculates volatility-adjusted stops based on smoothed candle ranges rather than raw noise.
• Bill Williams Alligator (confirmation) — Requires the three SMMA lines to be in 'hunger' alignment to confirm structural trend breakout.
• Volume Oscillator (VO) (volatility_filter) — Ensures that the trend move is backed by relative volume momentum to avoid low-liquidity traps.

Known failure conditions

• Volume Oscillator stays negative during persistent price movement, indicating a 'hollow' trend.
• Alligator lines remain intertwined for >50 bars, suggesting a permanent shift to a range-bound regime.
• Multiple Pattern Recognition triggers result in immediate stop-outs, indicating the HA smoothing is hiding structural resistance.
