Ichimoku-Azullian Connect Momentum Trader

Thesis

Trends exhibit momentum clusters where volume and price alignment precede sustained moves. By requiring Ichimoku cloud support (macro), Momentum Oscillator confirmation (medium), and MACD crossovers (micro), we isolate high-probability trend legs. The ZLSMA exit acknowledges that trends often end with sharp volatility spikes that standard indicators miss, while Chandelier stops protect against black-swan reversals.

Components

• Ichimoku Kinko Hyo (regime) — Used as a macro regime filter; price must be above the Kumo (Cloud) for longs to ensure secondary-trend alignment.
• Momentum Oscillator (direction) — Provides a directional bias by requiring momentum to be on the side of the trade (above 100 for longs).
• Connect MACD (Azullian) (entry) — Provides the specific entry trigger via the crossing of the MACD and Signal line.
• Zero Lag Least Squares Moving Average (ZLSMA) (exit) — Used as a trend-trailing exit to capture as much of a move as possible before a zero-lag reversal occurs.
• Chandelier Exit Heiken Ashi Variant (risk) — Provides the hard stop-loss based on volatility-adjusted Heiken Ashi extremes.
• Custom 006 Hybrid Table Scanner (volatility_filter) — Filters for high-probability setups by ensuring the immediate volume and EMA trend are supportive (Score > 0).

Known failure conditions

• Persistent flat 'sawtooth' price action where MACD crosses frequently but ZLSMA exits before ATR-based stops are hit.
• Failure of the Chandelier Exit to provide protection during 'gap-and-run' events against the trade direction.
