Macro-Filtered Brackets Expansion Strategy

Family: breakout · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities, Forex (Major Pairs) · Timeframes: H1, M15

Thesis

Technical breakouts of session opening ranges are more likely to yield high expectancy when systemic macro-financial stress is low and price is trending. The hypothesis is that 'smart money' zones (Order Blocks) act as inhibitors to these breakouts, and by filtering for both macro health and institutional structure, we can identify high-probability expansion moves.

Components

• Macro Risk Dashboard v8.2 (regime) — Filters trades to occur only during low-to-moderate macro stress regimes where technical breakouts are less likely to be false signals caused by systemic liquidity shocks.
• HiLo Activator (Pandini Version) (direction) — Provides the primary trend filter to ensure breakout entries align with the established medium-term momentum.
• Brackets Indicator (entry) — Identifies the initial price discovery range of the London/NY overlap; a breakout of this range signifies institutional order flow direction.
• ATR Projection (exit) — Calculates objective profit targets based on current volatility, ensuring take-profits are realistic relative to the instrument's daily range.
• GOM KOLA SIDO — Full Integration (risk) — Uses the Supertrend component for dynamic stop-loss placement and Order Block detection to avoid entering directly into areas of institutional supply/demand.

Known failure conditions

• Macro Risk Dashboard remains above 70 for extended periods, indicating a permanent shift to a high-volatility/crisis regime where technical ranges are ignored.
• Price consistently fails to reach 1.0 ATR Projection before reversing, suggesting the market is in a low-liquidity compression phase.
