EVZ-Momentum Cloud Scaler
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: EUR/USD FX · Timeframes: H1, M15
Thesis
EUR/USD momentum is most persistent when local EMA trends align with broader MACD momentum and price is supported by VWAP balance, provided that external volatility expectations (EVZ) are within a normal-to-high range to sustain the move. This edge exists because institutional 'trend-following' capital typically enters after volatility stabilizes and momentum is confirmed across multiple durations.
Components
- Relative Strength Index (Standard) (regime) — Acts as the regime filter to ensure the strategy only operates in the direction of established 14-period momentum (Bullish if > 50, Bearish if < 50).
- MACD & OSMA Cloud Hybrid (direction) — Provides the primary directional bias using the OsMA color logic; requires the cloud to be positive and OsMA to be rising for bullish entries.
- MACD EMA Crossover Visualizer (entry) — The execution trigger. Entering on the 12/26 EMA crossover ensures entry at the point of local momentum shift.
- Momentum Oscillator (exit) — Used for exit timing; closes positions when the rate of change returns to the 100-line baseline, signaling a loss of trend strength.
- Euro FX VIX (EVZ) Data Loader (risk) — Determines position sizing and trade viability. If EVZ is exceptionally low, liquidity may be insufficient for momentum; if too high, stops are widened.
- V7 Corpus-Local-AlertCondition-v1 (confirmation) — Ensures the trigger candle itself supports the move (Close > Open for longs), filtering out 'weak' crossovers.
- TimeBlocks (Multifunctional Period Separator) (volatility_filter) — Provides the VWAP Balance filter to ensure price is not 'over-extended' relative to the intraday mean.
Known failure conditions
- EVZ data feed fails or remains stagnant for > 24 hours.
- Strategy produces > 5 consecutive losses in a low-volatility ranging environment (EVZ < 7.0).
- MACD Cloud and EMA Crossover provide conflicting signals for more than 3 consecutive sessions.
