Chan-Aroon Structural Pitchfork Strategy
Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex, Indices, Synthetic Indices (Boom/Crash) · Timeframes: M15, H1
Thesis
Market trends are born from structural exhaustions (Chan Lun hubs) that are validated when time-since-high momentum (Aroon) shifts decisively. By entering at these structural pivots (2nd/3rd buys) while filtered by volatility boundaries (KOLA) and hierarchical trend alignment (Heatmap), we can capture the meat of a move using median line geometry (Pitchfork) to define realistic risk-to-reward boundaries. The edge exists because price tends to follow geometric paths once a structural break is confirmed by momentum.
Components
- Heatmap Framework (regime) — Establishes hierarchical trend alignment across multiple timeframes to ensure high-probability entries.
- Aroon (direction) — Filters for the 'newness' of a trend, preventing entry into exhausted moves by requiring Aroon Up/Down dominance.
- Chan Lun Engine (MT4 DLL version) (entry) — Provides structural fractal triggers (2nd/3rd Buy/Sell) based on Zen Theory market structure.
- MACD & OSMA Cloud Hybrid (exit) — Detects momentum exhaustion through color-coded histogram shifts to exit before structural reversals.
- Auto Pitchfork (risk) — Defines dynamic support/resistance zones for risk management and stop-loss placement based on median line geometry.
- GOM KOLA SIDO — Full Integration (volatility_filter) — Prevents entries into overextended zones (KOLA levels) and ensures price is on the correct side of the Supertrend.
Known failure conditions
- Price consistently oscillating across the Pitchfork Median Line (indicates lack of geometric order).
- Aroon Up and Down both remaining below 50 for extended periods (ranging market).
- Significant mismatch between Chan Lun structural signals and GOM KOLA pivot levels.
