Frankenstein-QQE Structural Breakout
Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, Equities, Crypto · Timeframes: H1 villages, H4
Thesis
Trend-following systems often fail in 'fakeout' scenarios; by requiring a consolidation breakout (Boxline), momentum confirmation (QQE), and macro-volatility alignment (Chandelier), the strategy attempts to capture the core of a move while using structural pivots (Pivot Points) to provide a more logical stop-loss than fixed ATR multiples.
Components
- Chandelier Exit (regime) — Acts as the primary trend-regime filter, ensuring the trade is only taken in the direction of the macro-volatility trend.
- Frankenstein Ultimate Pro - ATM Logic (direction) — Determines the immediate directional bias using TEMA/LSMA convergence and ensures entry only occurs during high-volatility expansions.
- Qualitative Quantitative Estimation (QQE) (entry) — Provides the tactical entry trigger when the smoothed RSI momentum crosses the dynamic trailing volatility band.
- Auto Fibonacci (exit) — Sets logical profit-taking targets based on historical retracement levels (0.618 and 1.0).
- Pivot Points Reversal Levels (risk) — Defines hard stop-loss levels based on local price action reversals (pivots) and dictates position sizing.
- Boxline (Range Breakout) (volatility_filter) — Serves as a volatility filter to ensure the strategy is not trading inside a tight consolidation zone.
Known failure conditions
- Price remains within the Boxline range for extended periods, causing QQE whipsaws.
- Pivot levels are breached immediately by noise, suggesting the ATR multiplier in Chandelier is too tight for the current asset.
