Fractal-Chan VIX Structural Breakout

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: EUR/USD (Primary), Major FX Pairs (Secondary) · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

Market structures identified by Chan Lun theory (specifically 2nd/3rd types) represent high-probability transition points. However, these structures often fail when trapped in 'chaos' ranges or low-participation environments. By requiring a Fractal Chaos Band breakout and elevated Euro FX VIX (EVZ) levels, we ensure the structure has the necessary volatility 'fuel' to follow through, while MACD confirms the immediate momentum.

Components

• Fractal Chaos Bands (FCB) (regime) — Used as a regime filter to ensure the market has escaped the local 'chaos' range before a trade is considered.
• Chan Lun Engine (MT4 DLL version) (direction) — Identifies 2nd and 3rd type market structure entries based on recursive price action geometry.
• Connect MACD (Azullian) (entry) — Provides momentum confirmation for the Chan Lun structure signal to avoid entering 'dead' structure.
• Money Flow Index (MFI) (exit) — Acts as a volume-weighted exhaustion signal to exit positions before volatility collapses.
• Chandelier Exit (risk) — Sets trailing stop-loss levels based on ATR to account for price volatility.
• Euro FX VIX (EVZ) Data Loader (volatility_filter) — Filters out low-volatility regimes where Chan Lun structures often fail due to lack of market participation.

Known failure conditions

• If EVZ data is stale or the CSV file fails to update, the strategy loses its primary volatility filter.
• In sustained low-volatility sideways markets, FCB and Chan Lun may generate conflicting 'recursive' signals that lead to overtrading.
• If the asset's volume does not correlate with MFI (common in some FX brokers), exits will be mistimed.
