POC Momentum Flow Hybrid
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities, Futures, Forex (if Volume Data available) · Timeframes: M15, H1
Thesis
Market trends are most sustainable when price moves away from a High Volume Node (POC) with the backing of both smoothed momentum and net-aggressive order flow (CVD). By filtering for these conditions, we avoid low-conviction price spikes and enter at the start of institutional-backed expansions.
Components
- RSIOMA (RSI of Moving Average) (regime) — Provides a smoothed trend regime filter to ensure trades are only taken in the direction of the medium-term momentum.
- Corrected RSX (direction) — Acts as the primary directional trigger by identifying noise-filtered momentum shifts within the broader regime.
- Volume Profile + Pivot Levels [ChartPrime] (entry) — Identifies Point of Control (POC) and high-volume nodes where price is likely to find support/resistance or initiate a breakout.
- Parabolic SAR (exit) — Provides a dynamic, non-discretionary trailing exit that tightens as momentum accelerates.
- Bollinger Bands (risk) — Uses volatility-based boundaries to define stop-loss levels and calculate position sizing based on current market expansion/contraction.
- Buddha Money Flow (confirmation) — Confirm that the price movement is backed by actual net-buying or net-selling pressure (CVD) to avoid low-volume traps.
Known failure conditions
- Price repeatedly oscillates across the Volume Profile POC without a trend forming (churn).
- CVD (Buddha Money Flow) shows extreme divergence (e.g., price rising while CVD falls sharply).
- Market volatility drops so low that Bollinger Bandwidth is smaller than the average spread.
