Tech-Proxy Momentum & Liquidity Gap Strategy

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: Equities, Crypto, Forex · Timeframes: 1H, 4H, D1

Thesis

Markets exhibit momentum persistence when major index drivers (AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL) align with individual asset breakouts. By entering only on 'institutional footprints' (FVGs/Order Blocks) during these phases, the strategy seeks to capture high-velocity moves while using Bollinger Bands to exit before the inevitable mean-reversion. The edge lies in the confluence of macro-regime, structural breakout, and micro-entry timing.

Components

• V6 All Features Fixture (regime) — Acts as a macro-regime filter by monitoring the price action of tech leaders (AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL) to determine the 'market beta' environment.
• TradeBreakOut (TBO) (direction) — Identifies medium-term momentum breakouts from a 50-period range, ensuring trades are taken in the direction of structural flow.
• Order Block / FVG Detector (entry) — Provides the precise execution trigger by identifying institutional 'fair value gaps' or impulsive reversals within the breakout context.
• Bollinger bands / Connectable [Azullian] (exit) — Used as a mean-reversion exit target; identifies when the price has reached local exhaustion (overbought/oversold).
• Chandelier Exit (risk) — Provides a volatility-adjusted hard stop and trailing mechanism to protect capital.

Known failure conditions

• Correlation breakdown between the asset and the tech-proxy regime (AAPL/MSFT/GOOGL).
• Extended ranging environment where TBO oscillates around zero without sustained expansion.
• High frequency of FVG signals without subsequent price follow-through (liquidity traps).
