Adaptive Gaussian Cycle Pulse
Family: pullback · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: FX, Equities · Timeframes: M15, H1
Thesis
Market trends exhibit cyclical pulses within structural daily ranges. By using an adaptive ALMA to define the trend regime and a Homodyne Discriminator (SAM) to time the entry of a fresh cycle, we can capture the meat of an intraday move while using previous day's extremes as objective structural support/resistance for risk containment.
Components
- ALMA with Floating Levels (regime) — Filters for a trending regime by ensuring price is above/below adaptive floating exhaustion levels.
- ProfitRobots Dashboard Template (direction) — Ensures the trend is synchronized across the primary and higher timeframe (H1/H4).
- Smoothed Adaptive Momentum (entry) — Identifies momentum cycles using a Homodyne Discriminator to time entries at the start of a new swing.
- MACD Classic (3-Line) (exit) — Used to detect trend fatigue via MACD/Signal line crossovers for early exit before profit evaporation.
- Daily High Low MTF (risk) — Provides structural anchor points (Previous Day High/Low) for stop loss placement and position sizing.
- Commodity Channel Index (CCI) (confirmation) — Confirms the momentum thrust; prevents entering on weak, 'drifting' price action.
Known failure conditions
- Protracted sideways price action where the Daily High/Low range narrows significantly, leading to tight stops and high noise sensitivity.
- Failure of the Homodyne Discriminator to identify a dominant cycle in chaotic, news-driven markets.
