Ichimoku-TDI Volumetric Momentum Breakout

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

Thesis

Market trends are most tradable when momentum (CCI/TDI) aligns with established structure (Ichimoku). High-volume pivot points mark the footprint of institutional participation, providing superior support/resistance zones for risk management compared to simple price fractals. The strategy assumes that once a volume-backed momentum breakout occurs, it will mean-revert only after hitting the geometric boundaries of a price channel (Pitchfork).

Components

• Unsupported While Expression Continue Result Test (regime) — Used as a 'logic heartbeat'; the strategy only executes when the script runtime environment successfully returns the expected null result, ensuring environment consistency.
• Ichimoku Kinko Hyo (direction) — Establishes the primary trend filter; price must be on the correct side of the Kumo cloud and Tenkan/Kijun must be aligned.
• Traders Dynamic Index (TDI) (entry) — Provides the precise entry trigger when momentum (RSI) crosses its signal line within volatility bands.
• Auto Pitchfork (exit) — Defines dynamic take-profit targets based on median line theory and fractal pivots.
• Volume and Pivot Points Correlation with Full Control (risk) — Identifies high-conviction stop-loss levels based on historical volume-backed pivot points.
• Commodity Channel Index (CCI) (confirmation) — Confirms that the momentum has enough velocity to break out of standard deviations (crossing +/- 100).

Known failure conditions

• Ichimoku Cloud thickness becomes negligible (flat Kumo), indicating zero trend.
• Volume-based pivots fail to form for over 100 bars, leaving the strategy without valid SL levels.
• Price oscillates around the Pitchfork Median Line without reaching bands, leading to time-decay or stagnant capital.
