Causal HP-Logit Breakout Hybrid

Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Crypto (ATOMUSDT preferred), Gold (XAUUSD) · Timeframes: 15m

Thesis

Trending markets exhibit momentum persistence that can be captured when macro-regime (HP) align with micro-structural breakouts (Boxline) and volume confirmation (MFI). By using a logistic regression probability (ATOM Logit) instead of simple crossovers, the strategy identifies higher-probability entries where supply/demand imbalances are greatest. The edge exists due to the behavioral lag in market participants' recognition of structural shifts.

Components

• Hodrick-Prescott Filter (HP) (regime) — Decomposes the series into trend and cycle to ensure we are trading in the direction of the underlying macro trend.
• XAU Trend Volatility Filter (XAU_TVF) (direction) — Normalizes trend strength against volatility to filter out noisy, low-conviction price action.
• ATOM Coefficient Indicator (logit) (entry) — Provides machine-learning derived momentum probabilities based on market structure (FVGs, liquidity).
• MACD & OSMA Cloud Hybrid (exit) — Identifies the exhaustion of momentum through OsMA color shifts for efficient exits.
• iExposure (risk) — Monitors net symbol exposure to prevent over-leveraging across correlated assets.
• Money Flow Index (MFI) (confirmation) — Confirms entries by ensuring volume is backing the price movement.
• Boxline (Dynamic Range Breakout) (volatility_filter) — Defines current volatility boundaries; entry only occurs on a expansionary breakout from the box.

Known failure conditions

• Price enters a prolonged tight range where the HP cycle oscillates rapidly without trend development.
• The ATOM logit model suffers from 'concept drift' as market structure features become obsolete.
• Execution costs (slippage/commission) exceed the average profit of the 15m time-frame signals.
