GHOST-TBO Delta Breakout Strategy

Family: breakout · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, Indices, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

Price breakouts are most likely to sustain a trend when current volume delta (CVD) and buy/sell sentiment indicate aggressive market participation, while smoothed momentum (RSIOMA) ensures the entry occurs at the start of a directional impulse rather than at exhaustion.

Components

• GHOST — OrderFlow Intelligence (regime) — Filters entries by ensuring positive order flow delta (CVD) and volume sentiment agree with the price direction, reducing the likelihood of bull/bear traps.
• SuperTrend MT5 (FxGeek) (direction) — Establishes the primary trend bias and volatility-adjusted floor/ceiling to ensure trades are aligned with the prevailing intermediate-term direction.
• RSIOMA (RSI of Moving Average) (entry) — Provides a smoothed momentum entry signal, triggering trades only when momentum (derived from price averages) crosses its own signal line to ensure a 'clean' start to a move.
• Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) (exit) — Detects momentum exhaustion and potential trend reversals, serving as the primary logic for taking profits or cutting losses before a full trend flip.
• Point-Based Price Grid (risk) — Provides a fixed-point structural reference for stop-loss placement and position sizing, ensuring risk is quantified by specific price distance units rather than volatility alone.
• TradeBreakOut (TBO) (confirmation) — Acts as a structural confirmation by requiring price to break out of its recent 50-period high/low before entry is authorized.

Known failure conditions

• Extended periods of 'CVD Decoupling' where price trends upward while CVD remains flat or negative, suggesting proxy formula failure.
• Market volatility drops below the fixed Point-Based Grid spacing (InpP1), leading to trades being choked by stop-losses in noise.
• SuperTrend and MACD providing conflicting signals in high-volatility ranging environments.
