Triple ADX Displacement Trend System

Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: Forex, Indices, Large-cap Equities · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

Strong trends are most likely to persist when three different cycles of momentum (Triple ADX) align alongside institutional price displacement (Fair Value Gaps). By waiting for this 'confluence of conviction' supported by tick volume, the strategy captures the meat of a trend while avoiding low-liquidity traps.

Components

• Easy Trend Visualizer (ETV) (regime) — Acts as a high-conviction trend filter by requiring triple ADX alignment, ensuring the strategy only operates during established macro momentum.
• Force Index (NNFX Variant) (direction) — Confirms that price movement is backed by tick volume/conviction, preventing entries on low-liquidity drifts.
• Triple Exponential Moving Average (EMA) (entry) — Provides the specific entry trigger via moving average fan alignment (Fast > Slow > Slowest).
• Equity Line Projection (exit) — Used as a tactical exit tool to visualize dollar-based profit targets or trailing stops against account equity.
• Constant Range Channel (risk) — Provides a non-time-based volatility anchor for stop-loss placement and position sizing.
• Fair Value Gap (FVG) Indicator (confirmation) — Filters for 'displacement' entries, requiring a price imbalance to exist in the direction of the trade to ensure institutional participation.
• ATR Heiken Ashi (volatility_filter) — Used as a minimum volatility threshold; prevents trading in 'dead' markets where price action is too compressed for the Triple EMA to function.

Known failure conditions

• Prolonged consolidation where ADX remains below 30 across all periods.
• Price frequently touches the Constant Range Channel boundaries without initiating a sustained trend move (whipsaw).
• Significant ATR Heiken Ashi spikes without corresponding Triple EMA alignment.
