Squeeze-Structure Property Expansion Strategy

Family: breakout · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX Majors, Gold, Equity Indices (SPX, DAX) · Timeframes: M15, H1

Thesis

The hypothesis is that volatility expansion is most profitable when it breaks established time-based structural boundaries (TimeBlocks) and is confirmed by multi-timeframe trend alignment (Dashboard). By querying the specific properties of these structural boundaries, we filter for 'true' breakouts over noise. The edge exists because major market participants often use fixed-time sessions (4H/Daily) to rebalance positions, creating liquidity pockets that lead to sustained expansion when breached.

Components

• Drawing Property Getter Test (regime) — Acts as the structural regime filter by programmatically verifying if the price has breached and held the 'High' or 'Low' property of the last completed market structure box.
• ProfitRobots Dashboard Template (direction) — Provides multi-timeframe directional bias; entries are only permitted when the aggregate trend across H1 and current TF is aligned.
• Bollinger Squeeze Advanced (entry) — The primary trigger; identifies the moment volatility 'explodes' after a period of compression (squeeze).
• Average True Range (NNFX) (exit) — Provides a volatility-adjusted trailing stop-loss to capture trend extensions while allowing for standard market noise.
• TimeBlocks (Multifunctional Period Separator) (risk) — Determines risk parameters based on the current 4-hour block VWAP balance and structural boundaries.
• Commodity Channel Index (CCI) (confirmation) — Filters out weak volatility breakouts by ensuring the move has sufficient cyclical momentum.

Known failure conditions

• Price repeatedly crosses the TimeBlock VWAP balance without expanding toward the range boundaries.
• Dashboard shows high signal churn (alternating colors) within a single 4-hour block.
• ATR remains flat or declining during a Bollinger Squeeze breakout.
