EVZ-Stabilized Darvas Momentum Suite

Family: breakout · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex (EUR/USD focus) · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

Market breakouts are most likely to follow sustained trends when price consolidates (Darvas Box) and institutional volatility expectations (EVZ) are aligned with historical momentum (MACD/Total Power). This strategy exploits the 'spring-loading' effect of consolidation phases within established trends.

Components

• ADX / Connectable [Azullian] (regime) — Acts as the regime filter to ensure the strategy only engages when trend strength is sufficient (ADX > 20) and rising.
• MACD Classic (direction) — Provides the primary directional bias; long if MACD > Signal, short if MACD < Signal.
• Darvas Boxes MetaTrader 5 (entry) — Defines the specific entry trigger based on price breakout from established consolidation zones (boxes).
• Q-Levels V2.2 (exit) — Uses external institutional/gamma levels to define realistic profit objectives (take-profit levels).
• Euro FX VIX (EVZ) Data Loader (risk) — Uses the Euro VIX to scale position size and set stop-loss distance based on market-implied volatility expectations.
• Total Power Indicator (confirmation) — Confirmation of dominant market force; requires BullPower > BearPower for longs and vice versa to avoid weak breakouts.

Known failure conditions

• ADX remains below 20 for extended periods, causing zero trade activity despite trending price action.
• EVZ data file becomes unavailable or fails to sync, halting trade execution.
• Q-Levels syntax errors prevent TP placement, leading to unmanaged open positions.
