Session-Map Momentum Synchronizer

Family: hybrid · Regime: high_vol · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX Major Pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY) · Timeframes: M15, H1

Thesis

Momentum in major FX pairs is most reliable when structural price expansion (measured via Map history) aligns with global liquidity peaks (Sessions) and relative currency dominance (CSM). By entering on MACD shifts during these periods and exiting via volatility exhaustion (WAE), we capture the 'meat' of intraday trends while filtering out noise.

Components

• Market Sessions (DarthBuddha) (regime) — Restricts trading to the London and New York sessions where liquidity and volatility are sufficient for momentum-based moves.
• Supported map history (direction) — Provides a directional filter by comparing current price against the map-derived historical state (price_{t-1} + map\_size_{t-1}), ensuring the trend is structurally expanding.
• MACD Classic (entry) — Acts as the primary entry trigger when the histogram crosses the zero line, signaling a shift in momentum.
• Waddah Attar Explosion (WAE) (exit) — Identifies volatility exhaustion; trades are closed when momentum (Trend) falls back below the Explosion threshold.
• Chandelier Exit (Heiken Ashi) (risk) — Calculates the dynamic stop-loss level and determines position sizing based on Heiken Ashi smoothed volatility.
• Currency Strength Matrix (All) (confirmation) — Confirms the MACD signal by ensuring the base currency is measurably stronger than the quote currency (for longs) or vice versa.

Known failure conditions

• Extended periods of low-volatility 'dead zones' where the WAE Explosion line remains below the DeadZonePip threshold.
• Macro-economic regime shifts where currency strength correlations break down across all majors.
• Frequent whipsaws in Heiken Ashi prices causing the aggressive 0.75 ATR Chandelier to trigger premature stops.
