Liquidity Gap Momentum Hybrid
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, XAU/USD, Equities · Timeframes: 15M, 1H
Thesis
This strategy hypothesizes that price gaps in the direction of a long-term trend, when preceded by a liquidity sweep and accompanied by expanding volatility, indicate high-conviction institutional movement. By entering on these 'conviction gaps' and exiting on short-term momentum exhaustion (stochastic extremes), the trader captures the highest velocity segment of a trend continuation while utilizing structural levels for risk management.
Components
- Moving Average Ribbon (chingc) (regime) — Establishes the macro-regime; trades are only taken in the direction of the ribbon's expansion to ensure high-probability trend alignment.
- Unsupported table.new modes Test Indicator (direction) — Acts as a price-action 'sanity check' where the close price must confirm the direction of the gap, filtering out 'exhaustion' gaps that immediately reverse.
- MindTheGap (entry) — The primary entry trigger; identifies sudden imbalances in order flow (price shocks) that suggest institutional participation.
- Restu Kaioh Scalping Indicator (exit) — Provides a momentum-based exhaustion exit, closing trades when the immediate price thrust has reached stochastic extremes.
- Reversal Engine Score v1 (risk) — Calculates dynamic stop-loss levels based on recent liquidity sweeps and ATR volatility, ensuring the trade has breathing room beyond structural pivots.
- Braid Filter (ATR Optimized) (volatility_filter) — Ensures that the price gap occurs during a period of expanding MA-spread volatility, filtering out noise in low-volatility environments.
Known failure conditions
- Extended sideways markets where the Ribbon compresses and the Braid Filter oscillates around the threshold.
- Gap-and-crap scenarios where a gap is immediately followed by a liquidity sweep in the opposite direction.
- Environments where the 'Unsupported Table' logic fails to render or sync, preventing signal execution.
