Fractal-KNN Structural Trend System

Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities, Forex, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1

Thesis

This strategy hypothesizes that market trends are best entered during short-term volatility expansions (Bollinger Band touches) that occur contrary to the underlying fractal structure (PiPi) and ML-smoothed momentum (KNN). By using a fractal-adaptive exit (FRAMA), the strategy seeks to capture the 'meat' of a trend while exiting before the fractal dimension of price action breaks down into noise.

Components

• PiPi (Price Infrastructure & Position Interface) (regime) — Establishes the macro-structure 'container'. Trades are only taken if the price is within a favorable Fibonacci context (e.g., above the Level Middle for longs).
• Chandelier Exit (direction) — Acts as the primary trend filter and directional bias, ensuring we only trade in the direction of established volatility-adjusted momentum.
• Bollinger Bands (Standard) (entry) — Used as a pullback trigger. In an uptrend, a touch of the lower band signifies a volatility-expanded mean reversion opportunity.
• Ehlers Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA) (exit) — The exit signal is triggered when price crosses the FRAMA, which tightens during trends and widens during consolidation using fractal dimension analysis.
• Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels [BigBeluga] (risk) — Dynamically sets the stop-loss based on volume-weighted structural significance rather than arbitrary pips.
• AI Trend Navigator [K-Neighbor] (confirmation) — Provides a machine-learning smoothed confirmation of the price action state, filtering out noise that traditional moving averages miss.

Known failure conditions

• Price remains pinned to Bollinger Bands (riding the bands) while KNN and FRAMA provide conflicting signals during hyper-trends.
• High-frequency level shifts in Volumatic S/R indicating a total breakdown of volume-price relationship.
• The 'Context' container in PiPi becomes excessively wide in high-volatility regimes, rendering the 'Level Middle' irrelevant.
