Andean Sweep Momentum Hybrid
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: FX (Major Pairs), Equity Indices (NQ, ES), Gold (XAUUSD) · Timeframes: M5, M15
Thesis
Market participants often place stops at the extremes of recent lookback periods. The 'Daily Sweep' captures the institutional hunt for this liquidity. By filtering these events through the Andean Oscillator's variance-based momentum and BBForce's band synchronization, we distinguish between genuine institutional trend initiation and simple noise/range expansion. Risk is structurally anchored to the session's hourly boundaries.
Components
- Indicator Base Template (regime) — Acts as the architectural regime filter, ensuring the strategy only operates within a valid structural lookback and adheres to standardized array management for low-latency execution.
- Andean Oscillator (direction) — Used to define the directional bias by decomposing price into Bull and Bear volatility components; identifies which side of the market is in control.
- The Daily Sweep (entry) — Provides the trigger logic based on liquidity sweeps and FVG alignment specifically during the high-volatility NY session window.
- Kijun Sen Envelope (exit) — Serves as a volatility-anchored mean-reversion target; exits are triggered when price reaches the outer boundaries of the Kijun median.
- TimeBlocks (Multifunctional Period Separator) (risk) — Used for structural risk management, providing dynamic stop-loss levels based on session block extremes and VWAP balance.
- BBForce / Bollinger Bands Force (confirmation) — Confirms the entry by ensuring all three Bollinger components (Upper, Lower, Basis) are moving in unison with the trade direction.
Known failure conditions
- Consecutive 'Sweep' signals without Andean Bull/Bear crossover (indicates range-bound chop)
- VWAP Balance remaining near zero during the NY session open (lack of institutional participation)
- Price failing to reach Kijun Envelopes within 3 TimeBlocks (time-stop failure)
