Gapped Order-Block Log-Error (GOBLE) Strategy

Family: hybrid · Regime: high_vol · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex, Indices (Boom/Crash), Crypto · Timeframes: M5, M15, H1

Thesis

This strategy hypothesizes that market gaps create high-probability zones of institutional interest (Order Blocks) which, when validated by a 'chaos' regime filter and measured for log-relative risk (MSLE), provide a superior edge in high-volatility environments. The core edge lies in the belief that MSLE more accurately identifies 'exhaustion' than standard linear volatility metrics.

Components

• Unsupported array.sort_indices Order (regime) — Used as a 'Chaos Filter'. Since the indicator attempts to sort indices using a price series (close) as the order parameter, it defines a regime of 'Unstable Order' whenever the current close significantly deviates from the previous sequence, signaling a regime shift from trending to volatile.
• MindTheGap (direction) — Identifies the initial directional bias. A gap up suggests immediate demand imbalance; a gap down suggests supply imbalance.
• GOM KOLA SIDO — Full Integration (entry) — Provides the execution trigger via Smart Money Concepts (Change of Character - CHoCH) or Spike alerts within the KOLA ATR zones.
• Donchian Channels (exit) — Provides a dynamic trailing exit based on the 20-period local extreme, ensuring the strategy captures trend extensions.
• Mean Squared Logarithmic Error (MSLE) (risk) — Used for volatility-adjusted position sizing and stop-loss placement. High MSLE indicates price is overextended relative to its log-mean, requiring tighter stops and lower leverage.

Known failure conditions

• If MindTheGap triggers frequently (e.g., crypto weekends) without subsequent Order Block formation, leading to 'signal decay'.
• If MSLE remains persistently low during a slow bleed (non-volatile trend), causing the strategy to over-leverage into a reversal.
• The failure of the Pine Script sorting logic results in runtime errors rather than a usable value in standard environments.
