Wavelet Displacement Imbalance Strategy

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

Thesis

Market edge is found at the intersection of structural displacement (Fair Value Gaps) and multi-frequency trend alignment. By using Discrete Wavelet Transforms to filter out high-frequency noise and the Hybrid Scanner to ensure volume participation, we identify imbalances that represent institutional repositioning rather than retail noise. The Parabolic SAR ensures that the hypothesis is invalidated quickly if the 'displacement' fails to develop into a sustained trend.

Components

Custom 006 Hybrid Table Scanner (regime) — Filters for high-probability environments where both trend (EMA) and participation (Volume) are aligned.
Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) (direction) — De-noises the price action to provide a 'clean' directional bias, ensuring we are not trading against the structural cycle.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Indicator (entry) — Acts as the execution trigger by identifying price imbalances where institutional 'displacement' has occurred.
CCI / Connectable [Azullian] (exit) — Identifies momentum exhaustion points to signal early exits before a full trend reversal.
Parabolic SAR (risk) — Dynamically manages risk by providing an accelerating stop-loss that trails the trend.
Mean Error (ME) (confirmation) — Provides a confirmation of the average directional bias (error) relative to a baseline, preventing entries in over-extended mean-reverting states.

Known failure conditions

Price frequently reaches the Parabolic SAR before the CCI hits the exit target, suggesting the FVG entries are too late.
DWT lag at Level 4 results in signals appearing after the primary move has exhausted.
Mean Error remains near zero during high volatility, failing to provide a directional bias.
