Andean-Ichimoku Volatility Synchronizer

Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, Indices, Gold · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1

Thesis

This strategy assumes that a sustainable trend exists only when macro-structural indicators (Ichimoku) align with an expansion in directional volatility (Andean) that is statistically significant relative to recent average ranges (XAU_TVF). By waiting for the Fisher Transform to signal a cyclical momentum surge within this confirmed environment, we attempt to enter at the most efficient point of a trend's lifecycle, using MACD momentum decay to exit before the inevitable mean-reversion.

Components

• Ichimoku Kinko Hyo (regime) — Establishes the macro trend regime; ensures trades are only taken when price is on the correct side of the Kumo and Tenkan/Kijun are aligned.
• Andean Oscillator (direction) — Differentiates between bullish and bearish volatility components to validate that the specific directional pressure is expanding.
• Fisher Transform (EarnForex) (entry) — Provides the final timing trigger by identifying cyclical turning points within the confirmed trend.
• Connect MACD (Azullian) (exit) — Used for exit logic; the modular signal processing identifies when momentum is mean-reverting or exhausting.
• SuperTrend & Pivots (risk) — Provides a structural trailing stop-loss based on volatility-adjusted price floors.
• XAU Trend Volatility Filter (XAU_TVF) (volatility_filter) — Filters out low-conviction movements by requiring the TrendScore to exceed a threshold, ensuring momentum is backed by volatility.

Known failure conditions

• Fisher Transform generates multiple zero-line crosses while Ichimoku remains flat (choppy market).
• TrendScore remains high but price fails to make new highs/lows (volatility without direction).
• Andean Bull/Bear lines converge and oscillate around the Signal line.
