Nested KNN Volatility Breakout
Family: breakout · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, Indices, Crypto · Timeframes: M15, D1坐
Thesis
The strategy assumes that high-probability trades occur when local consolidation (Boxline) breaks in the direction of a long-term volatility expansion (Daily BB). By requiring volume-weighted confirmation (SuperTrend AI) and momentum alignment (CCI), the strategy identifies instances where institutional participation is likely driving the breakout, rather than retail noise. The edge is structural: entries are made at the point of volatility 'ignition.'
Components
- D1 Bollinger Bands (Period 90) on M15 (Forward Shifted) (regime) — Provides the macro-volatility regime. We only trade in the direction of the daily trend relative to the 90-day SMA midline.
- XARD Channel (direction) — Filters intermediate trend direction using triple MA envelope alignment to ensure we are not trading against the dominant M15 flow.
- CCI / Connectable [Azullian] (entry) — Captures momentum pivots. Entry occurs when CCI crosses the zero line, indicating a shift from mean-reversion to momentum.
- Sherif Hilo (exit) — A trailing stop-loss mechanism that tracks HHV/LLV to capture large trend swings while ignoring minor noise.
- Boxline (Range Breakout) (risk) — Identifies local consolidation zones. The breakout of the box validates the entry and provides the structural anchor for the Stop Loss.
- Volume SuperTrend AI (Expo) (confirmation) — Uses KNN classification and VWMA to confirm that volume and ATR-based volatility support the momentum entry.
Known failure conditions
- Price stays trapped within the D1 Bollinger Midline and one standard deviation for extended periods (low volatility drift).
- The Boxline range is wider than the ATR(14) * 3, making the reward-to-risk ratio mathematically untenable.
