Mitigation Confluence DSP Trend-Follower

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

Thesis

The strategy hypothesizes that significant market moves are preceded by a 'Mitigation Block' (a failed structural reversal) that confirms institutional interest in the prevailing trend. By layering a multi-modal confluence score (IAE) and a detrended price cycle (DSP), we identify the optimal moment of trend resumption, while using the Vertical Horizontal Filter to avoid the 'death by a thousand cuts' common in ranging markets. Psychological round numbers serve as the most logical structural support/resistance for institutional order flow, making them ideal risk anchors.

Components

• HiLo Activator (Pandini Version) (regime) — Establishes the macro-trend bias to prevent trading against the dominant momentum.
• ICT Mitigation Block Scanner (direction) — Identifies institutional market structure shifts (MSS) to provide directional bias within the trend.
• IAE — Technical Confluence Score (entry) — Aggregates 10 layers of technical data; only high-conviction scores trigger execution.
• Parabolic SAR (exit) — Provides a dynamic trailing stop that accelerates as the trend matures.
• Round Levels Zone Shading (risk) — Uses psychological 'magnet' levels for objective stop-loss placement and risk-adjusted sizing.
• Ehlers Detrended Synthetic Price (DSP) (confirmation) — Confirms the cyclical timing of the entry, ensuring we aren't buying at a local cycle peak.
• Vertical Horizontal Filter (VHF) (volatility_filter) — Filters out low-volatility/ranging periods where HiLo and SAR are most prone to whipsaws.

Known failure conditions

• VHF remains below 0.3 for extended periods, indicating a permanent shift to ranging price action.
• IAE score fails to reach thresholds due to internal component divergence (e.g., volume doesn't follow price).
• Repeated ICT Mitigation Block 'fakeouts' where structure breaks but immediately reverses.
