Fractal Infrastructure Efficiency Strategy

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex, Equities, Crypto · Timeframes: 15m, 1h, 4h

Thesis

The hypothesis is that sustainable price trends are established only after 'liquidity sweeps' (Fractal Model) occur within a recognized market structure (PiPi). By waiting for a volume-weighted confirmation (MFI) within a volatility-confirmed trend (TopTrend), the strategy avoids retail 'breakout traps'. The edge is predicated on the assumption that market efficiency is lower immediately following a structure shift, allowing return-per-unit-of-volatility (ROC/HV) to remain high as institutional participants reposition.

Components

PiPi (Price Infrastructure & Position Interface) (regime) — Establishes the 'structural container' or 'Context'. Trades are only valid when price is within defined Fibonacci/Level ranges.
TopTrend (BBands Stop) (direction) — Provides a volatility-adjusted trend filter and the primary trailing stop level.
Money Flow Index (MFI) (entry) — Triggers entry based on volume-weighted momentum reaching exhaustion levels within the structural context.
Bears Power (exit) — Detects the decay of selling pressure for long exits or the surge of selling pressure for short exits relative to the EMA.
Annualized ROC / HV Ratios (risk) — Scales position size based on the efficiency of the move (return per unit of volatility). High ratio = higher conviction.
Open Source Fractal Model (confirmation) — Confirms institutional liquidity sweeps (HTF Candle Count) and Change in Sub-structure (CISD) before committing to a signal.

Known failure conditions

TopTrend remains flat/choppy for >10 bars, indicating a range-bound environment where the BBands Stop logic fails.
MFI stays in overbought/oversold territory for extended periods during 'runaway' trends, causing missed entries.
The ROC/HV Ratio falls below 0.5, suggesting the trend is too volatile to be efficiently traded.
