VIDYA Volume Structural Adaptive Trend

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, Equities, Indices · Timeframes: M15, D1

Thesis

Intraday trends are most reliable when they occur within the context of long-term (90-day) volatility boundaries and are initiated from high-volume structural support or resistance. By filtering out overextended daily moves and requiring adaptive momentum and volume force alignment, the strategy captures the 'meat' of the move while using volume-validated pivots to define hard institutional exit points.

Components

• Bollinger Bands (Standard) (regime) — Defines the immediate M15 regime; ensures the trade is moving with the current volatility expansion/trend.
• Variable Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA) (direction) — Provides an adaptive directional bias that tightens during high volatility and widens during consolidation.
• Absolute Strength Histogram (ASH) (entry) — Captures the final momentum 'thrust' required for entry by measuring the strength of bulls vs bears.
• Stochastic Oscillator (exit) — Signals potential exhaustion for timely exits before mean reversion occurs.
• Volume and Pivot Points Correlation with Full Control (risk) — Identifies structural 'War Zones' and high-volume pivot points to set logical stops and size positions.
• Volume Force (VF) (confirmation) — Confirms that price movement is backed by volume pressure, filtering out low-liquidity whipsaws.
• D1 Bollinger Bands (Period 90) on M15 (Forward Shifted) (volatility_filter) — Acts as the master volatility filter; prevents entries when the daily price action is overextended beyond 90-day volatility norms.

Known failure conditions

• Price maintains a 'riding the bands' behavior on the D1 BB for >5 days, indicating a regime shift the 90-period SMA cannot track.
• Volume Force remains near zero despite price movement, indicating a decoupling of volume and price.
• Pivot points fail to form for extended periods, leaving the strategy without valid stop-loss anchors.
