Aggregated OI & Adaptive Cycle Flow

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Crypto/BTCUSD (Primary), Crypto/ETHUSD, Major Forex Pairs (Secondary) · Timeframes: 1H, 4H

Thesis

The hypothesis is that sustainable trends are fueled by aggressive futures positioning expansion (Open Interest) and confirmed by multi-asset structural alignment. By entering only when cyclical momentum (SAM) and force (TDFI) align with this positioning, and using volume-weighted support (Volumatic) for risk, we capture the meat of institutional moves while avoiding low-liquidity noise.

Components

• Open Interest Suite [Aggregated] - By Leviathan (regime) — Provides the structural regime filter, identifying periods of aggressive positioning expansion (Aggressive Longs/Shorts) which precedes significant breakout or liquidation moves.
• ProfitRobots Dashboard Template (direction) — Establishes multi-symbol directional alignment; ensures the entry is in the direction of the dominant cluster bias (e.g., most majors trending bullish).
• Relative Strength Quality Index (RSX) (entry) — A low-lag smoothed momentum oscillator to time entries during momentum thrusts while minimizing whipsaws common in standard RSI.
• Ichimoku Kinko Hyo (exit) — The Kijun-sen (Base Line) acts as the trailing exit trigger, representing the medium-term market equilibrium. Price crossing this line signals trend exhaustion.
• Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels [BigBeluga] (risk) — Calculates dynamic price floors/ceilings weighted by volume intensity; provides the logical floor for stop-loss placement based on liquidity.
• Smoothed Adaptive Momentum (confirmation) — Filters out noise by ensuring momentum is aligned with the market's dominant cycle period as determined by the Homodyne Discriminator.
• Trend Direction and Force Index (TDFI) (volatility_filter) — A volatility and trend-strength gatekeeper; ensures trades are only taken when the 'force' of the move is above the noise floor (dead zone).

Known failure conditions

• Prolonged periods of flat Open Interest (less than 1 multiplier) indicating lack of institutional participation.
• Frequent 'dead zone' crossings by TDFI suggesting high-frequency noise without directional follow-through.
• Rapid expansion of Volumatic S/R bands (high ATR) leading to stops that are too wide to be mathematically viable.
