Aroon-Force Institutional Impulse Strategy

Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: FX (Majors), Indices, Large-Cap Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1

Thesis

The strategy operates on the hypothesis that sustainable trends are initiated by institutional displacement (Order Blocks) and that these moves are most likely to follow-through when 'Aroon' confirms that the market is making fresh highs/lows more frequently than not. By entering on the 'impulse' (OB) within a 'regime' (Aroon), we capture the highest-velocity portion of a move while using Parabolic SAR to exit before the inevitable mean-reversion.

Components

• Aroon (regime) — Filters for emerging trend strength by confirming that fresh highs/lows are being set within the 25-period lookback.
• Average Force (direction) — Confirms that price is trading in the upper/lower half of its recent cycle relative to its mean, ensuring momentum alignment.
• OrderBlock FVG Detector (entry) — Targets the specific moment of institutional footprint creation (impulsive engulfing candles) for entry precision.
• Parabolic SAR (exit) — Provides a non-linear trailing stop that tightens as momentum plateaus.
• Average True Range (ATR) (risk) — Provides volatility-normalized sizing and a baseline for stop-loss distance calculation.
• Stochastic Oscillator (confirmation) — Filters entries to ensure the trade is taken during a temporary momentum reload rather than at local exhaustion.
• ATR SL Finder (volatility_filter) — Provides the specific price coordinate for the initial defensive stop based on recent volatility.

Known failure conditions

• Price exhibits long periods of 'drift' without impulsive candle patterns required for OB detection.
• Aroon Up and Down both remain below 50 for extended periods, indicating a total lack of directional conviction.
• The strategy enters a period of high signal frequency with immediate Parabolic SAR reversals, suggesting a low-volatility 'sawtooth' market.
