IAE Confluence Pivot Breakout Strategy
Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: Equities, FX, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1
Thesis
Market trends are most sustainable when institutional volume, price momentum, and market breadth align. By using a composite Score (IAE) to confirm this environment, structural price breaks (Flip Flop) are less likely to be false 'liquidity grabs', allowing for high-probability entries timed by volatility triggers (UTBot).
Components
- IAE — Technical Confluence Score (regime) — Acts as a regime filter to ensure trades are only taken when multiple technical layers (volume, breadth, trend) align, reducing exposure to noise.
- Flip Flop Indicator (direction) — Provides the directional bias by identifying shifts in market structure (breaks of specific high/low pivots).
- UTBot Alerts (entry) — Used as the tactical entry trigger when price crosses the ATR-based trailing stop in alignment with the regime and direction.
- TSI Convergence Divergence (TSI_CD) (exit) — Signals momentum exhaustion to exit positions before significant mean reversion occurs.
- Darvas Boxes MetaTrader 5 (risk) — Identifies structural support/resistance levels to define stop-losses and position sizing based on box height.
Known failure conditions
- IAE Score remains below 50 for extended trending periods (indicating failure to capture regime).
- TSI_CD generates frequent exit signals during strong parabolic moves, causing premature exits.
- High correlation between Flip Flop and UTBot signals leading to late entries.
