Sigmoid Ghost Squeeze Breakout
Family: breakout · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, Equities, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1
Thesis
This strategy exploits the 'Squeeze' phenomenon—where periods of low volatility (Bollinger Bands inside Keltner Channels) inevitably lead to explosive price moves. By requiring a linear regression confirmation (Ghost Channels) and momentum alignment (CCI), the strategy attempts to filter 'fake-out' breakouts that lack institutional participation. The edge lies in the structural transition from a stochastic (chaotic) state to a deterministic (linear trend) state.
Components
- NNFX Squeeze (Volatility Breakout) (regime) — Acts as the primary regime filter; only allows trading when volatility (Bollinger) expands beyond the average range (Keltner), signaling a momentum release.
- Heiken Ashi (direction) — Filters out minor price noise and ensures the entry is aligned with the prevailing smoothed price trend.
- CCI / Connectable [Azullian] (entry) — Identifies the specific momentum trigger when price accelerates in the direction of the breakout.
- Relative Vigor Index (RVI) (exit) — Signals the exhaustion of the move by detecting when closing prices lose their strength relative to the high-low range.
- Fractal Chaos Bands (FCB) (risk) — Defines the local structural boundaries of 'chaos' to set stop-loss levels outside of recent fractal noise.
- Ghost Channels [mph1nance] (confirmation) — Provides structural confirmation via linear regression; ensures trades are only taken when a statistically significant trend slope is present.
- Logistic Function (SIGMOID) (volatility_filter) — Acts as a secondary trend/volatility filter by ensuring price is currently in the 'upper' or 'lower' half of its long-term (200 SMA) distribution.
Known failure conditions
- Extended periods of low-volatility 'drifting' where NNFX Squeeze never triggers.
- Mean-reverting 'V-shaped' markets where Ghost Channel slope lags the pivot.
- Asset classes with persistent gaps (HA candles will obscure these and delay exits).
