GAS-Laguerre Momentum Flow Hybrid
Family: pullback · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, Equities, Indices · Timeframes: M15, H1
Thesis
This strategy seeks to exploit the 'return to mean' within strong momentum environments by entering on volume-confirmed price pullbacks (MFI) and confirming the resumption of the trend with low-lag momentum (Laguerre RSI), assuming that momentum persists when trend strength (ADX) and structural volatility (GAS) align.
Components
- GAS Price Levels (regime) — Classifies the market structure into high-volatility expansion or compression to validate the current trend environment.
- Momentum (direction) — Provides the primary directional bias; filtered by the zero-line cross to ensure trade alignment with the move.
- Money Flow Index (MFI) (entry) — Identifies exhaustion pullbacks (OS/OB) that occur within the established momentum, utilizing volume confirmation.
- ATR Fib (exit) — Provides structural target levels based on the session's range expansion to manage profit taking.
- Chandelier Exit Heiken Ashi Variant (risk) — Dynamic volatility-based stop-loss that adapts to price action through Heiken Ashi smoothed extremes.
- Laguerre RSI (confirmation) — Confirms momentum quality with lower lag than standard oscillators, ensuring entry isn't into a decaying trend.
- ADX / Connectable [Azullian] (volatility_filter) — Filters out low-volatility 'noise' by requiring a minimum trend strength (Threshold > 20) before signals are active.
Known failure conditions
- Prolonged compression where ADX stays below 20 and GAS levels overlap continuously.
- Laguerre RSI pinned at extreme values (1.0 or 0.0) resulting in delayed exits or entry avoidance during 'God candles'.
- Sudden volatility spikes that render the manual ATR input in the ATR Fib exit obsolete.
