Fractal Order Block Strength Hybrid
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: Forex (Majors and Minors) · Timeframes: M15, H1
Thesis
Market reversals and breakouts are most reliable when localized price action (Order Blocks/Fractals) aligns with macro-level currency strength divergence and stays within valid intraday ranges. The edge comes from filtering retail fractal signals through institutional order flow zones.
Components
- Daily High Low MTF (regime) — Filters for intraday volatility by ensuring the trade occurs within or breaks out from yesterday's range boundaries.
- Currency Strength Template (direction) — Ensures the base currency is stronger than the quote currency for longs (and vice versa for shorts) to filter for high-momentum currency pairs.
- Mn Fractal Store (entry) — Identifies the specific price level (broken pivot) for the entry trigger after structural confirmation.
- Stochastic Oscillator (exit) — Provides a momentum-based mean-reversion exit to lock in profits before the trend exhausts.
- Parabolic SAR (risk) — Acts as a dynamic stop-loss that trails price, providing a mathematical exit for trend exhaustion.
- Sonarlab - Order Blocks (confirmation) — Confirms that the breakout is backed by institutional demand/supply zones (Order Blocks) rather than retail noise.
Known failure conditions
- Currency strength correlations converge to zero, leading to erratic whipsaws across all pairs.
- Price repeatedly invalidates Order Blocks immediately after formation, indicating a low-liquidity/high-noise environment.
- Daily ranges become so narrow that the Daily High/Low filter prevents any execution.
