NY Sweep & Mitigation Momentum Hybrid
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX (Majors), Equity Indices (NASDAQ/SPX) · Timeframes: M15, H1
Thesis
This strategy assumes that significant intraday reversals are preceded by 'stop hunts' (Daily Sweeps) and confirmed by institutional structure shifts (Mitigation Blocks) within a trending EMA regime. The edge exists because price action often overextends into liquidity pools before institutions pivot, creating high-momentum 'explosions' measurable by the WAE.
Components
- MACD EMA Crossover Visualizer (regime) — Establishes the primary trend filter; prevents taking long sweeps in bearish regimes.
- ICT Mitigation Block Scanner (direction) — Validates market structure shift by identifying failed swing levels before looking for entries.
- The Daily Sweep (entry) — Triggers entry upon capturing liquidity (stop hunts) within the specific New York high-volume window.
- Waddah Attar Explosion (WAE) (exit) — Exits trades when momentum (slope) falls below the volatility explosion threshold or reverses.
- Support and Resistance (Fractal-based) (risk) — Provides objective, non-discretionary stop-loss levels based on price exhaustion points (Fractals).
Known failure conditions
- Price consistently trades through liquidity sweeps without FVG formation, suggesting low-interest or trend-less environments.
- MACD EMA crossovers occur frequently without subsequent mitigation block formation (whipsaw).
- The NY Session window exhibits volatility contraction below the 0.3% ATR threshold for >5 consecutive days.
