KOLA Gap-Spike Structural Hybrid

Family: hybrid · Regime: high_vol · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Indices (Boom/Crash), Equities, Forex · Timeframes: M5, M15

Thesis

The strategy hypothesizes that market gaps represent a dislocation of value that institutions resolve at specific Order Blocks. By entering when the 'Bears Power' indicates selling exhaustion (for longs) at a 'GOM KOLA' zone, the trader captures the subsequent 'spike' or corrective move. The use of a Heiken-Ashi smoothed Chandelier exit is intended to filter out intraday noise and remain in the trend as long as momentum persists.

Components

• Unsupported array.range UDT method (regime) — Serves as a logic-gate regime filter; if the diagnostic array test fails to return a valid range (due to the UDT limitation), the system assumes calculation instability and halts trading.
• MindTheGap (direction) — Defines the initial directional bias based on price jumps, assuming that gaps represent either exhaustion or breakaway momentum.
• GOM KOLA SIDO — Full Integration (entry) — Provides the specific execution trigger by identifying institutional Order Blocks (OB) and spike thresholds within the gap direction.
• Chandelier Exit Heiken Ashi Variant (exit) — Provides a tight, trend-following trailing stop that accounts for smoothed price action (HA) and immediate volatility.
• Average True Range (NNFX Version) (risk) — Determines the initial stop-loss buffer and position sizing to normalize risk against current market volatility.
• Bears Power (confirmation) — Used to confirm that selling pressure is exhausted (for longs) or dominant (for shorts) relative to the EMA baseline.

Known failure conditions

• The array.range() method consistently returns errors or 0, preventing any trades from being authorized by the regime filter.
• Gap detection triggers on 'fake' gaps caused by low liquidity/spread widening rather than structural shifts.
• Chandelier Exit's ATR Period of 1 results in immediate exits on noise before the entry move develops.
