Modular Imbalance-Momentum Crossover System

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, Equities, Crypto · Timeframes: 15m, 1h, 4h

Thesis

The strategy assumes that institutional displacement (FVG) creates a directional bias that, when confirmed by momentum (MACD) and a structural breakout (Ichimoku), signals the start of a high-probability trend extension. By anchoring risk to high-momentum Order Blocks, the strategy targets areas where institutional protection is most likely to exist.

Components

• Connect MACD (Azullian) (regime) — Provides the primary momentum regime filter; trades are only taken when momentum aligns with the zero-line cross to ensure we are in a developed trend.
• ICT + FVG + RSI V1.2.12 (direction) — Detects institutional imbalances (Fair Value Gaps) to ensure the directional bias is supported by significant price displacement.
• Ichimoku Kinko Hyo (entry) — Acts as the execution trigger via the Tenkan/Kijun cross (TK Cross) confirmed by price position relative to the Kumo Cloud.
• CCI / Connectable [Azullian] (exit) — Identifies momentum exhaustion; exiting when price reverts from extreme CCI levels (OB/OS) provides a more responsive exit than trend-following indicators.
• Sonarlab - Order Blocks (risk) — Uses high-momentum ROC triggers to identify structural support/resistance for stop-loss placement and position sizing.

Known failure conditions

• Repeated FVG signals that are immediately invalidated by price retracement (low conviction).
• Ichimoku Kumo 'Twists' occurring frequently, indicating a lack of clear trend.
• Order Block zones being frequently 'mitigated' or broken, suggesting the ROC sensitivity is too low for the current volatility.
