Kalman-Gator Confluence Hybrid

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex, Crypto, Equities · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1

Thesis

The strategy hypothesizes that sustainable trends occur when the 'Alligator' awakes (Gator regime) and momentum shifts (TDI), provided the asset is not statistically overextended relative to its primary benchmark (AI Pair Z-Score). By filtering for relative value before technical entry, we avoid 'blow-off tops' and 'dead cat bounces.' The exit logic assumes that a decay in multi-factor technical confluence (IAE) precedes a price reversal.

Components

• Gator Oscillator (Standard) (regime) — Acts as the primary regime filter to ensure the market is in an 'Awakening' or 'Eating' phase (trending) rather than 'Sleeping' (ranging).
• Supported indicator max boxes count (direction) — Used as a literal price-action trend filter; price must be making new highs/lows relative to the internal 'max boxes' logic to confirm direction.
• Traders Dynamic Index (TDI) (entry) — Identifies the specific momentum trigger when the RSI Price Line crosses the Signal Line within the volatility bands.
• IAE — Technical Confluence Score (exit) — Provides a multi-factor exit signal; when the aggregate score of 10 layers decays below a threshold, the trade is terminated regardless of individual indicators.
• Chandelier Exit (Heiken Ashi) (risk) — Determines the dynamic stop loss and position sizing based on Heiken Ashi smoothed volatility.
• AI Pair Trading System v1.0 (volatility_filter) — Ensures the asset is not statistically overextended relative to its primary correlation pair (Kalman Filter Z-score) before entry.

Known failure conditions

• Total loss of correlation between the trading asset and the AI Pair symbol.
• Gator Oscillator remains in 'Sleeping' mode (red bars on both sides) for extended periods during high-impact news.
• IAE Confluence Score stays below 50 during a clear price trend due to extreme volatility.
