Dashboard-Volume-Break Paradox

Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, Indices · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

Strong price movements accompanied by volume expansion (WatchTower/Force Index) that break institutional structure (TLB) within a multi-pair structural trend (Dashboard) are likely to persist until volatility-adjusted momentum (ATR Heiken Ashi) dissipates. The TMA filter prevents entry into exhausted trends.

Components

• ProfitRobots Dashboard Template (regime) — Acts as a multi-symbol pre-filter to ensure the strategy only operates on pairs showing a correlated structural trend state.
• Three-Line Break (TLB) with MA (direction) — Defines market structure by requiring a trend breakout that exceeds 'n' reversal lines, filtering noise.
• KandleKings™ WatchTower v1.0 (entry) — Provides the precise entry trigger based on VWAP-relative momentum and RSI threshold crossings.
• ATR Heiken Ashi (exit) — Provides a smoothed trailing exit to capture trend duration while ignoring minor HA-smoothed counter-moves.
• Average True Range (ATR) (risk) — Standard volatility measure for technical stop-loss placement and volatility-adjusted position sizing.
• Force Index (NNFX Variant) (confirmation) — Confirms that price movement is backed by tick volume expansion to avoid low-liquidity traps.
• TMA CG 2024 (Centered Moving Average) (volatility_filter) — Used to ensure price is not overextended beyond the outer bands, reducing the risk of buying the top.

Known failure conditions

• The strategy fails if the underlying asset enters a low-volatility 'non-trending' regime where TLB produces frequent whipsaws.
• The hypothesis is invalidated if correlation across pairs on the Dashboard breaks down, leading to isolated, low-probability signals.
