Thesis

Market trends are most tradable when price action smoothing (Heikin-Ashi), structural expansion (BBForce), and momentum (Stochastic) align. This hypothesis posits that entries during a 'force' phase following a minor momentum cooldown (stochastic pullbacks) yield higher R-multiples than simple breakout entries, provided the market is not in a low-volatility 'squeeze'.

Components

• Type Declaration Coverage Template (regime) — Used as the structural 'Regime' validator to ensure code integrity and handle data persistence (var/varip) for multi-condition state tracking.
• Heikin-Ashi Candles (direction) — Filters noise to establish the primary trend direction; prevents counter-trend momentum entries.
• Stochastic Oscillator (entry) — Identifies short-term mean-reversion entries (oversold/overbought) within the established trend.
• RSI Area (Histogram) (exit) — Triggers exits when momentum reaches localized exhaustion points (overbought/oversold extremes).
• GAS Price Levels (risk) — Provides the dynamic structural levels (KAMA/BB/Alpha factors) for trailing stop-loss placement and risk-adjusted sizing.
• BBForce / Bollinger Bands Force (confirmation) — Requires all three Bollinger segments to move in unison to confirm structural momentum before entry.
• Bollinger Bands (volatility_filter) — Acts as a volatility filter (bandwidth) to avoid entering during low-liquidity 'squeezes' where slippage is high.

Known failure conditions

• The BBForce indicator yields frequent '0' values during high-volatility sideways chop, resulting in zero exposure.
• Heikin-Ashi candles trends persist while actual price (Close) has already reversed, leading to severe lag in exit.
• Alpha factor weighting in GAS Price Levels becomes correlated, leading to underestimation of true volatility.
