Dual-Stoch Session Momentum Scalper
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: FX Majours, XAU/USD, Equity Indices · Timeframes: M5, M15
Thesis
Intraday price action is characterized by session-specific liquidity injections. A mean-reversion move (pullback) within a strong trending session (confirmed by ADX) can be timed using dual-speed oscillators to capture the resumption of the session's dominant trend. The edge lies in filtering out low-volatility noise and entering only when the 'Confirmation' and 'Entry' momentum signals align during high-volume periods.
Components
- ATLS: Session Atlas (regime) — Defines the intraday regime by identifying the active liquidity window and calculating performance relative to session opens.
- Supported indicator max boxes count (direction) — Used to establish current price directionality; if the box sequence (price) is above the previous session's median, the bias is bullish.
- Stochastic Oscillator (entry) — Captures medium-term momentum cycles to identify entry points after minor pullbacks.
- Restu Kaioh Scalping Indicator (exit) — Provides a discrete state-based exit signal (Long exit when Restu=1, Short exit when Restu=-1).
- Simple Panel Template (risk) — Used as the GUI interface for risk parameters; risk is calculated as a fixed percentage of account equity per trade.
- Stochastic Oscillator (Stoch) (confirmation) — Acts as a high-sensitivity trigger to confirm that price is moving out of an extreme zone before the slower stochastic enters.
- ADX / Connectable [Azullian] (volatility_filter) — Filters out low-volatility/ranging environments where stochastic indicators typically produce false signals.
Known failure conditions
- ADX stays below 20 for more than 70% of the NY session.
- Session performance (ATLS) is less than 0.05% for three consecutive sessions (dead market).
- Price crosses the session open price more than 5 times in 1 hour (whipsaw).
