Institutional Flow Risk-Adjusted Breakout (IF-RAB)

Family: breakout · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Futures, Commodities, Major FX Pairs · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1

Thesis

Market breakouts are most likely to sustain when they are supported by an increase in institutional commitment (Open Interest) and occur during periods of low systemic macro stress. By filtering trend-following signals with these 'hidden' flows and risk metrics, we can avoid retail bull/bear traps.

Components

• Open Interest Stochastic Money Flow Index (regime) — Defines the regime by confirming whether price movement is backed by institutional commitment (Open Interest) or merely retail churn.
• Mn Fractal Store (direction) — Identifies the directional bias by referencing broken historical structural pivots.
• UT Bot Alerts (MQL5) (entry) — Provides the specific trade trigger when price momentum shifts in the direction of the confirmed fractal breakout.
• ATR Fib (exit) — Sets profit targets based on session-relative volatility extensions.
• Macro Risk Dashboard v8.2 (risk) — Filters trades based on cross-asset systemic risk levels and calculates position size via Z-score volatility normalization.

Known failure conditions

• Open Interest data feed stops updating or becomes fragmented across exchanges.
• Asset exhibits sustained 'low-volatility drift' where UT Bot signals fail to trigger despite price movement.
• Macro Risk Dashboard Z-score remains at extremes for >3 months, rendering filters ineffective.
