Ichimoku-BOS Structural Impulsion Strategy

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, Equities, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1

Thesis

Market edges are found where macro-trend equilibrium (Ichimoku) aligns with a confirmed shift in market structure (BOS). By waiting for a Fibonacci-based retracement (PiPi) within these aligned regimes, the strategy exploits the 'Smart Money' tendency to enter after liquidity has been cleared, using Elliott Wave cycles to define the logical 'point of invalidation' for the trade.

Components

• Ichimoku Kinko Hyo (regime) — Filters for major trend regime; price must be on the correct side of the Kumo (Cloud) to ensure we are not trading against the dominant equilibrium.
• Extrem SuperTrend (direction) — Provides a volatility-adjusted directional filter to ensure immediate momentum aligns with the Ichimoku regime.
• PiPi (Price Infrastructure & Position Interface) (entry) — Identifies the specific Fibonacci retracement 'Level Range' within the market structure to time the entry after a pullback.
• Heikin-Ashi Candles (exit) — Used to smooth out noise and exit the position when the smoothed trend shows signs of exhaustion (color flip).
• Elliott Wave [LuxAlgo] (risk) — Determines the dynamic Stop Loss based on the most recent wave pivot (e.g., Wave 2 or 4 low) and defines position sizing.
• BOS_CHoCH_Detector (confirmation) — Acts as the trigger confirmation; entry only occurs after a structural break (BOS) or trend reversal (CHoCH) confirms the move.

Known failure conditions

• Ichimoku Cloud thickness drops to near zero (low volatility/no trend).
• Frequent 'Wave Invalidation' signals from the Elliott Wave component suggesting non-trending structure.
• Price remains trapped between Tenkan and Kijun for more than 20 bars.
