Pivot-Compression Order Flow Hybrid

Family: breakout · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex, Equities, Crypto · Timeframes: H1

Thesis

Market edge exists when price 'coils' (Inside Bar) against a backdrop of strong trend (SuperTrend) and structural support (Pivots). This compression represents an imbalance between buyers and sellers where the trend-resumption is confirmed by order flow momentum (GHOST) and buyer power relative to the mean (Bulls Power). By exiting on cyclical exhaustion (DSP), we capture the meat of the expansion phase.

Components

• SuperTrend & Pivots (regime) — Establishes the macro-regime; Pivots provide structural 'gravity' while SuperTrend defines the trailing trend bias.
• Bulls Power (direction) — Ensures the immediate momentum (High vs EMA) aligns with the regime direction, filtering out weak trend-following signals.
• Inside Bars (MTF Framework) (entry) — Acts as the 'coil' or volatility compression signal; an entry is triggered when price consolidates within a previous range during a trend.
• Ehlers Detrended Synthetic Price (DSP) (exit) — Detects cycle exhaustion; exits when the trend's cyclical component begins to reverse, even if the macro trend remains.
• Chandelier Exit (risk) — Provides a volatility-adjusted stop loss that trails price, protecting against sudden reversals.
• GHOST — OrderFlow Intelligence (confirmation) — Confirms that the breakout from the Inside Bar is supported by positive volume delta and directional sentiment.

Known failure conditions

• SuperTrend starts oscillating rapidly (whipsaw) across the Daily Pivot level.
• Inside Bar breaks out but GHOST CVD remains flat or negative, indicating a lack of liquidity behind the move.
• Ehlers DSP stays at zero-line for extended periods, suggesting a total loss of cyclicality.
