Triple ADX Volume-KNN Trend Explorer

Thesis

Market trends are most tradeable when they are both 'strong' (high ADX across timeframes) and 'efficient' (non-random price displacement). By requiring triple ADX alignment and an RWI > 1.0, we isolate regimes where momentum is accelerating. Within these regimes, Volume-Weighted SuperTrend signals confirmed by KNN pattern recognition offer an edge by identifying entries where price action is supported by volume and historical precedent, while volatility-based trailing stops protect against the inevitable return to a random walk.

Components

• Easy Trend Visualizer (ETV) (regime) — Filters for high-momentum environments using triple-period ADX alignment; ensures the market is in a non-ranging state before signals are considered.
• Random Walk Index (RWI BTF) (direction) — Validates that the trend is statistically significant (non-random) by comparing price displacement against the expected range of a random walk.
• Volume SuperTrend AI (Expo) (entry) — Provides the final execution trigger by combining volume-weighted trend logic with KNN historical pattern classification.
• Chandelier Exit Heiken Ashi Variant (exit) — Uses smoothed Heiken Ashi price action to generate trailing exit signals that are less sensitive to noise than standard candle closes.
• Chandelier Exit (risk) — Provides a volatility-adjusted hard stop-loss and determines position size based on the current ATR-based distance from the entry price.

Known failure conditions

• ADX alignment persists while price consolidates in a narrowing wedge, leading to multiple whipsaws.
• RWI remains above 1.0 during a 'blow-off top' where volatility expands but price displacement stalls.
• KNN classification accuracy drops significantly in low-volume holiday regimes.
