Volatility-Regime Liquidity Breakout (VRLB)

Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: FX, Equities, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1

Thesis

This strategy hypothesizes that sustainable price movements occur when volatility-based trend signals (SuperTrend) align with institutional liquidity zones (SNAP) and macro-volatility regimes (Chandelier Exit). By entering only when price is above/below daily pivot points in the direction of the ATR-based trend, the strategy seeks to avoid retail traps and trade alongside institutional momentum.

Components

• Chandelier Exit (regime) — Filters out high-volatility noise to establish the primary market bias (Bullish/Bearish regime).
• Dynamic EMA with Box Method Selector (direction) — Provides a high-frequency trend filter to ensure the immediate price action matches the larger regime.
• SuperTrend & Pivots (entry) — Uses the SuperTrend flip for timing and Daily Pivot Points to ensure entry occurs at structural value rather than extensions.
• SuperTrend (exit) — Provides a trailing volatility stop that captures the meat of a trend while allowing for mean reversion exits.
• SNAP HTF_LTF Indicator (risk) — Determines institutional liquidity zones for logic-based stop-loss placement and risk-adjusted sizing.

Known failure conditions

• Price spends >70% of time between S1 and R1 Pivot levels without touching Chandelier Exit levels.
• Daily ATR drops below 20-period moving average of ATR, indicating a volatility squeeze where SuperTrend triggers frequent whipsaws.
