Darvas Macro-Accumulation Hybrid

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, Equities, Commodities · Timeframes: H4, D1

Thesis

Market transitions from consolidation to trend (Darvas) are only sustainable when accompanied by internal accumulation (A/D) and a stable macro-risk environment (Dashboard). By entering on a Fibonacci retracement rather than the initial breakout, the strategy captures the participation phase with a superior risk-reward ratio compared to standard breakout chasing.

Components

• Darvas Boxes Modern/Classic (regime) — Identifies the structural 'box' regime; a breakout signifies a potential shift from consolidation to a trending phase.
• Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) Index (direction) — Confirms the Darvas breakout is supported by volume-weighted price positioning, ensuring the trend has 'conviction'.
• Auto Fibonacci (entry) — Provides the specific entry price level within the breakout zone (pullback to 0.5 or 0.618) to avoid buying the top of a breakout.
• Average True Range (NNFX Version) (exit) — Determines the trailing stop distance based on current market volatility to avoid premature stops during normal noise.
• Macro Risk Dashboard v8.2 (risk) — Dynamically scales position size and acts as a 'circuit breaker' based on cross-market systemic stress.

Known failure conditions

• Macro Risk Dashboard score exceeds 75 for more than 3 consecutive bars (systemic collapse/unpredictability).
• Price re-enters the prior Darvas Box and closes below the median, indicating a failed structural breakout.
• A/D Index shows a multi-week divergence against the price trend while price remains in a Darvas Box.
