Spectral Flip-Flop Breakout system

Family: hybrid · Regime: high_vol · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex, Equities, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

Market cycles undergo periods of high power (cyclicality) that frequently resolve into directional breakouts. By identifying high-energy cycles via Ehlers ACP and confirming the breakout through structural 'Flip Flop' levels and multi-timeframe momentum, we can enter trades with high directional probability and objective risk markers.

Components

• Ehlers Autocorrelation Periodogram (ACP) (regime) — Filters for high-energy cyclical regimes where the signal-to-noise ratio is high enough to justify a breakout trade.
• Flip Flop Indicator (direction) — Acts as the primary structural pivot, identifying when price has breached the high/low of opposing momentum bars within the cycle.
• Pattern Recognition Master (entry) — Provides the final granular execution trigger by confirming price action momentum at the moment of breakout.
• HiLo Activator (Pandini Version) (exit) — Provides a dynamic trailing stop based on high/low moving averages to capture the meat of the trend post-breakout.
• Williams Fractals (risk) — Used for objective stop-loss placement based on the most recent confirmed structural swing point (2 bars delayed).
• Momentum (MOM) (confirmation) — Ensures the rate of change is positive (long) or negative (short) to prevent entering on weak candlestick patterns.
• GFRMa Pivot HTF3 Dashboard (volatility_filter) — Multi-indicator confirmation (RSI/CCI) to ensure the intraday volatility is aligned with the higher-timeframe momentum.

Known failure conditions

• Normalized Power of the ACP drops below 0.5 for more than 5 bars (cycle collapse).
• Price repeatedly touches the Williams Fractal SL within 3 bars of entry (high noise/low volatility).
• HiLo Activator flips direction immediately following the Flip Flop signal (false breakout).
