Dynamic Efficiency OrderBlock Hybrid

Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: FX, Equities, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

Market inefficiency is most exploitable when structural liquidity gaps (FVG) and institutional order blocks (OB) align with high-efficiency volatility (VIDYA). By entering on these structural signatures and setting risk based on the linear trajectory of Bollinger Bands, the strategy captures the 'meat' of a move while exiting before the volatility envelope mean-reverts or the Gann-based trend (HiLo) breaks.

Components

• Variable Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA) (regime) — Filters for 'efficient' trend regimes where price movement outweighs noise, ensuring the strategy only operates during active momentum.
• EMA Dynamic Selector Test (direction) — Provides a secondary trend filter to ensure the current price is above/below a medium-term average, providing a baseline for directional bias.
• OrderBlock FVG Detector (entry) — Identifies institutional footprints (Order Blocks) and liquidity gaps (FVG) to provide high-probability entry zones within the established trend.
• HiLo Activator 02 (exit) — Acts as a trailing stop-loss mechanism that adjusts to price volatility, locking in profits as the trend progresses.
• GOM BB Prediction (300 bars) (risk) — Uses the linear projection of the lower/upper Bollinger Band to establish dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels based on current volatility slopes.

Known failure conditions

• VIDYA remains flat for extended periods while OB signals trigger, indicating high-frequency noise.
• Price consistently hits the HiLo Activator exit before reaching the 1:1 risk/reward ratio projected by the BB bands.
• Market enters a low-volatility 'squeeze' where BB prediction slopes approach zero, rendering SL/TP targets invalid.
