IAE-Connectable Volatility Expansion System
Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities, FX, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, D1
Thesis
Strong technical trends are preceded by a confluence of multi-modal indicators (Momentum, Flow, Strength) and an expansion of volatility from a cyclical low. By filtering entries through a Bandpass filter and an IAE composite engine, we isolate high-probability continuation moves while using a dynamically lengthening EMA to maintain alignment with the historical price anchor.
Components
- IAE — Technical Confluence Score (regime) — Acts as the primary regime filter, ensuring entries only occur during periods of high structural confluence (>60 for longs) or low structural breakdown (<40 for shorts).
- Unsupported UDF Switch Reassignment EMA (direction) — Determines the broad trend bias using a dynamically lengthening anchor that favors the long-term trend as the dataset grows.
- ADX / Connectable [Azullian] (entry) — Provides the specific entry trigger based on directional movement (DI crossover) synchronized with trend strength (ADX rising).
- Laguerre RSI (exit) — Used for trend exhaustion exits. Its low-lag nature allows for exiting before a full trend reversal occurs.
- Bollinger Bands (risk) — Defines the risk envelope; stop losses are anchored to the outer bands to account for local volatility.
- Bandpass Filter (BPF) (confirmation) — Confirms that price is in the appropriate phase of its dominant short-term cycle, preventing entries during cycle peaks/troughs.
- Frankenstein Ultimate Pro - ATM Logic (volatility_filter) — A volatility gate that prevents entry during 'dead' or low-range price action, requiring a range expansion relative to ATR.
Known failure conditions
- IAE score stays in the 40-60 range for extended periods (regime paralysis).
- UDF EMA length becomes so large on long-duration charts that it fails to react to multi-month reversals.
- Market enters a 'low-volatility grind' where Frankenstein's volatility threshold is never met.
