Thesis

Foreign exchange trends are most reliable when localized momentum is synchronized with the broader US Dollar Index (USDX) regime. By using high-iteration recursive smoothing for entry triggers, we filter out the frequent 'fake-outs' inherent in USD pairs, while adaptive Jurik envelopes capture the meat of the trend by adjusting to volatility expansion.

Components

• USDX (US Dollar Index) Candle Indicator (regime) — Determines the global strength of the US Dollar to ensure local pair trades are aligned with macro-liquidity flows.
• KolaTradeboT TradBOT Simple (direction) — Provides the primary trend direction (EMA200) and ensures volatility/volume alignment via VWAP and SAR.
• Recursive Moving Average Unlimited (entry) — Uses high-iteration smoothing to generate a trigger that only reacts to sustained momentum shifts.
• Jurik Adaptive Envelope Bands (exit) — Provides a dynamic, volatility-adjusted exit target based on Jurik's adaptive smoothing.
• ZigZag+ v5 (risk) — Identifies structural swing points for hard stop-loss placement and risk-adjusted sizing.
• Ehlers Ultimate Smoother Filter (USF) (confirmation) — Acts as a zero-lag noise filter to confirm that the immediate price action is not an outlier spike.

Known failure conditions

• USDX component pairs suffer from data gaps or price de-coupling (e.g., EURUSD and USDJPY moving in the same direction frequently).
• Recursive MA lag becomes greater than the average swing duration in low-volatility environments.
• Price remains pinned to Jurik bands without mean-reverting, indicating extreme parabolic expansion.
