GARCH-Adaptive Structural Breakout System

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, Equities, Crypto · Timeframes: M15, H1

Thesis

The strategy exploits market structure breakouts (Head & Shoulders) but only when they align with multi-timeframe trends and are confirmed by institutional volume surges. By employing a GARCH(1,1) model for risk, the strategy assumes that volatility clusters; it adapts position sizes and stops to current conditional risk rather than static ATR, allowing it to survive 'fat-tail' events that stop out traditional strategies.

Components

• SuperTrend MT5 (FxGeek) (regime) — Establishes the primary trend direction and provides a volatility-adjusted baseline for the regime.
• ProfitRobots Dashboard Template (direction) — Ensures trend confluence across multiple timeframes (M15 entry vs H1/H4 direction) to avoid counter-trend traps.
• HS Indicator (Head & Shoulders) (entry) — Identifies high-probability market structure exhaustion or continuation patterns.
• TSI Convergence Divergence (TSI_CD) (exit) — Captures momentum exhaustion through signal line crossovers/histogram flips for early exit before trend reversal.
• Conditional Volatility (CV) (risk) — Provides a statistically rigorous GARCH(1,1) based estimate of current risk for adaptive stop-loss placement.
• Volume Oscillator (VO) (volatility_filter) — Filters out pattern breakouts that lack institutional participation/volume momentum.

Known failure conditions

• Protracted sideways markets where CV remains low but SuperTrend whipsaws frequently.
• Flash crashes where GARCH(1,1) estimates lag behind immediate price shocks.
• Inaccurate volume data on decentralized assets (Crypto/FX) rendering VO signals unreliable.
