Filtered Strength Outbreak Strategy

Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex Majors · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

Market edge is found when individual currency strength imbalances coincide with a momentum breakout from a volatility-contracted consolidation phase. By filtering momentum with low-noise (RSX) and confirming with external currency strength, we isolate moves backed by institutional flow rather than retail noise.

Components

• Corrected RSX (regime) — Defines the macro-regime to ensure we are only trading in the direction of filtered momentum.
• Currency Strength Template (direction) — Ensures the specific currency pair is driven by genuine individual currency strength/weakness rather than localized noise.
• CCI Arrows (entry) — Provides the tactical trigger when momentum crosses the zero-line.
• TSI Convergence Divergence (TSI_CD) (exit) — Identifies momentum exhaustion through histogram crossovers to exit before price reversals.
• SuperTrend MT5 (FxGeek) (risk) — Provides volatility-adjusted Stop Loss levels and initial trend orientation.
• Stochastic Oscillator (confirmation) — Filters for entries that are not overextended (overbought/oversold) relative to the immediate range.
• Boxline (Dynamic Range Breakout) (volatility_filter) — Acts as a volatility filter to ensure the entry occurs at a breakout from a consolidated range.

Known failure conditions

• Prolonged low-volatility 'sawtooth' price action where Boxline fails to expand.
• Currency Strength Template showing high correlation between base and quote (neutral strength).
• Frequent TSI_CD exits followed by immediate resumption of the trend (over-sensitivity).
