Ghost-Grid Regression Trend Hybrid

Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: Forex Major Pairs, Equities (Large Cap), Gold (XAUUSD) · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

Market trends exhibit the highest stability when smoothed momentum (Heiken Ashi), volatility breakouts (TopTrend), and statistical fit (Ghost Channels) align. By entering only when 'Urgency' is high and anchoring risk to psychological levels (Grid Points), we capture high-probability expansion phases while protecting against the lag inherent in trend-following indicators. The edge lies in the confluence of statistical fitting and behavioral round numbers.

Components

• Heiken Ashi (regime) — Establishes the smoothed momentum regime to filter out noise from standard candlesticks.
• TopTrend (BBands Stop) (direction) — Acts as a volatility-adjusted directional filter, ensuring trades are only taken in the direction of the Bollinger Band breakout.
• Legacy Trading Connector (OptionX) (entry) — Translates internal logic into a discrete execution trigger (simulating a binary-style precise entry).
• Sherif Hilo (exit) — Tracks the rolling LLV/HHV to provide a trailing exit that accommodates trend expansion.
• Grid Points Utility (risk) — Uses fixed point intervals (psychological levels) as hard boundaries for stop-loss placement and position scaling calculations.
• Ghost Channels [mph1nance] (confirmation) — Provides statistical confirmation via Linear Regression fit and an 'Urgency' metric to ensure the trend has high momentum before entry.

Known failure conditions

• Price exhibits 'sawtooth' behavior around a single Grid Point level without reaching the Sherif Hilo exit.
• TopTrend flips direction more than 3 times within 20 bars (signaling regime shift to ranging).
• Ghost Channel R2 score drops below 0.3, indicating a failure of the linear regression model.
