Fractal Fisher RMSE Hybrid
Family: breakout · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: FX, Equities, Indices · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1
Thesis
Market structure breakouts (Fractals) represent shifts in supply/demand balance. By waiting for a 2-bar confirmation and filtering for momentum (Fisher Transform) and normalized volatility (RMSE), we can filter out noise and 'trap' moves, entering only when a structural break is accompanied by a significant change in the underlying price distribution. The 'broken' matrix trend logic forces a reliance on raw price action over complex linear algebra models.
Components
- MQL5 Calculation Sample (regime) — Used as a 'Heartbeat' regime filter; the strategy only executes if the diagnostic log confirms a valid update of history (rates_total > prev_calculated).
- Unsupported matrix remove_col (direction) — Despite the semantic error, the 'plot(close)' provides a raw price-action baseline where current Close vs. Previous Close defines the local trend bias.
- Williams Fractals (entry) — Provides the core entry triggers based on breaks of local 5-bar extrema, though confirmed with a 2-bar lag.
- Relative Strength Index (RSI) (exit) — Identifies exhaustion points where the momentum of the fractal break is likely to stall.
- Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) (risk) — Quantifies the 'noise' or prediction error of an EMA; used to set dynamic stop-loss buffers based on current volatility.
- Fisher Transform (EarnForex) (confirmation) — Normalizes price distribution to confirm that a fractal break is accompanied by a significant momentum cycle shift.
- Linefill All Visualizer (volatility_filter) — Defines a visual 'channel' based on high/low ranges; used to filter out entries when price is trading outside its recent structural container.
Known failure conditions
- RMSE stays at historical lows while price trends, indicating the volatility proxy is failing to capture trend-based expansion.
- Fisher Transform alternates around zero line (whipsaw) for more than 5 consecutive bars.
- Fractal breaks are consistently reversed within the 2-bar confirmation window.
