EUR Velocity-Volume Structural Hybrid
Family: hybrid · Regime: mixed · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: EUR/USD, EUR/JPY, EUR/GBP · Timeframes: H1, H4
Thesis
EUR/USD price action is driven by institutional liquidity parked at volume nodes (Supply/Demand zones). By entering only when short-term momentum (Flip Flop) and smoothed trend (Heiken Ashi) align with the dominant cycle (DSP) at these nodes, we exploit 'smart money' reversals. The edge is refined by sizing risk based on the options market's expectation of volatility (EVZ), providing a more robust SL than price-only indicators like ATR.
Components
- Dynamic Supply and Demand Zones [AlgoAlpha] (regime) — Defines the regime by ensuring trades are only taken when price is within a high-probability demand (long) or supply (short) zone identified by volume nodes.
- Heiken Ashi (Standard MT5) (direction) — Filters out minor price noise to provide a directional bias; ensures we are trading with emergent momentum.
- Flip Flop Indicator (entry) — Triggers the actual entry when price clears a recent local structural extreme (BULL_LEVEL/BEAR_LEVEL), signaling a momentum shift.
- Auto Pitchfork (exit) — Provides dynamic profit targets based on the median line and structural geometry of the most recent fractal moves.
- Euro FX VIX (EVZ) Data Loader (risk) — Calculates risk and position size based on the broader market's expectation of 30-day EUR volatility.
- Ehlers Detrended Synthetic Price (DSP) (confirmation) — Filters entries by ensuring the short-term cycle is not overextended in the opposite direction (cycle confirmation).
- Bollinger Bands (Standard) (volatility_filter) — Prevents entries during periods of extreme contraction (low volatility) or excessive expansion (blow-off moves).
Known failure conditions
- EVZ remains abnormally low (below 5.0) while realized volatility spikes, causing stops to be too tight.
- Price ignores established Supply/Demand zones repeatedly during high-impact news events.
