Fractal Volume-Map Trend Tracker

Thesis

This strategy operates on the hypothesis that sustainable market trends are characterized by 'structural momentum'—a combination of price action and data complexity (measured via Map object size history). By waiting for a ZigZag pivot to confirm the broad regime and then timing entries with volume-weighted momentum (KVO), we filter out low-conviction price moves. Murrey Math provides non-linear support/resistance levels that adapt to fractal volatility, offering a more robust stop-loss mechanism than static ATR or percentage stops in trending environments.

Components

• ZigZag (regime) — Defines the broad market environment by identifying the last confirmed swing high/low to ensure entry is aligned with established market structure.
• Supported map history (direction) — Provides a secondary trend filter by comparing current price + map state against historical state, ensuring momentum is persisting.
• Klinger Volume Oscillator (KVO) (entry) — Acts as the tactical trigger, signaling that volume flow has shifted in favor of the established regime.
• Pivot Points (Classic) (exit) — Provides objective, non-repainting exit targets based on prior-session volatility.
• Murrey Math Line X (risk) — Uses fractal geometry to determine stop-loss levels and position sizing based on discrete price octaves.

Known failure conditions

• ZigZag segments oscillating rapidly within a narrow range (choppy regime).
• Price consistently reversing at Murrey 4/8 (Major Overthrow) before reaching Pivot targets.
• Volume divergence where KVO signals buy while price reaches new lows.
