ASI-Volumatic PiPi Structural Hybrid
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities, Futures, Forex · Timeframes: 1H, 4H, 1D
Thesis
Market efficiency is disrupted when price reaches structural support levels identified by high volume-volatility. If the 'true' momentum (ASI) remains intact during these touches, the probability of a reversal is heightened. The strategy uses volume as a liquidity proxy and momentum as a velocity-based exit to capture high-confidence swings from volume-validated support and resistance.
Components
- Unsupported array.sum UDT method (regime) — Theoretically represents a 'complexity filter'; the strategy operates only when market structure is sufficiently linear that it does not require non-standard UDT aggregation (which would fail).
- Accumulation Swing Index (ASI) (direction) — Used to determine the 'true' directional bias by filtering out noise and focusing on the relationship between successive bars' ranges.
- Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels [BigBeluga] (entry) — Provides the physical entry trigger by identifying high-volume price floors and ceilings.
- Momentum (MOM) (exit) — Signals the exhaustion of the move for exit purposes when price velocity begins to decelerate.
- PiPi (Price Infrastructure & Position Interface) (risk) — Uses Fibonacci levels and Level Middle calculations to define the physical stop-loss and the distance for position sizing.
- Average Volume (AV) (confirmation) — Ensures the entry occurs during periods of significant participation, filtering out low-liquidity fakeouts.
- W8 exp overflow 1000.0 v1 (volatility_filter) — Functions as a conceptual 'black swan' or 'infinite volatility' filter; if the calculation (theoretically) overflows, the regime is considered too unstable for execution.
Known failure conditions
- If the ASI diverges significantly from price action for extended periods, the directional bias becomes invalid.
- Failure of the Volumatic S/R to provide liquidity at identified levels during high-impact news.
- If tick volume (Average Volume) does not correlate with real exchange volume.
