Fractal Wavelet Chaos Breakout

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

Thesis

The strategy hypothesizes that market trends are born from 'fractal chaos' and can be isolated by decomposing price into discrete wavelet levels. By entering only when price escapes fractal boundaries and trend direction is confirmed by low-frequency wavelet components, we can capture high-velocity moves while using momentum exhaustion to exit before the inevitable mean reversion toward the (repainting) centered TMA.

Components

• Fractal Chaos Bands (FCB) (regime) — Defines the 'chaos' zone; entry is only valid once price escapes these fractal boundaries, indicating a shift from noise to trend.
• Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) (direction) — Provides the primary trend direction by filtering high-frequency noise through stationary wavelet decomposition.
• UTBot Alerts (entry) — Acts as the high-sensitivity execution trigger when price crosses the ATR-based trailing threshold.
• Momentum (MOM) (exit) — Used to detect the exhaustion of price velocity; if momentum plateaus or reverses, the trend is likely ending.
• Chandelier Exit (Heiken Ashi) (risk) — Provides a volatility-adjusted hard stop and dictates position sizing based on HA price action.
• Imported UDT Typed UDF Params Test (confirmation) — Used to verify price consistency across historical bars (ensuring the breakout is not a single-bar anomaly).
• TMA CG 2024 (Centered Moving Average) (volatility_filter) — Filters out entries that occur too far from the centered mean to avoid buying at the 'peak' of a repainting curve.

Known failure conditions

• The market enters a 'low volatility creep' where UTBot triggers frequently but FCB bands never expand.
• Price action becomes purely mean-reverting within the TMA CG envelopes.
• Wavelet detail coefficients oscillate rapidly around zero, causing direction flip-flops.
