Inertia-Grid Momentum Hybrid

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex, Equities, Crypto-Currencies · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

The strategy assumes that financial markets possess a 'Historical Inertia' represented by the cumulative count of candle types. By entering only in the direction of this long-term dominance when price is at a 'value' zone (TMA) and momentum is turning (RSIOMA), we can capture short-term moves toward liquidity-rich psychological round numbers (Grid Points). The edge lies in the confluence of structural bias and mean-reversion positioning.

Components

• Candle Count History (regime) — Establishes the 'Historical Bias' regime. If the market has produced more bullish than bearish candles over its lifetime, the strategy maintains a long-bias until the ratio shifts.
• Unsupported Imported UDT varip Test (direction) — Serves as the high-fidelity price reference (Close) to ensure the logic processes the most recent tick update correctly.
• RSIOMA (RSI of Moving Average) (entry) — Acts as the primary execution trigger. By smoothing RSI with an MA first, it filters out noise and signals high-conviction momentum shifts.
• Grid Points Utility (exit) — Defines profit targets based on psychological round numbers (fixed point intervals) rather than dynamic indicators, targeting 'sticky' liquidity zones.
• SuperTrend (risk) — Provides the dynamic invalidation level (Stop Loss) based on ATR-volatility, ensuring risk is adjusted to current market expansion/contraction.
• Relative Strength Index (RSI) (confirmation) — Used as a secondary momentum filter to ensure that the entry is supported by raw price momentum, not just the smoothed MA-based momentum of RSIOMA.
• TMA CG 2024 (Centered Moving Average) (volatility_filter) — Provides a 'value channel'. Even with repainting, it identifies extreme price excursions. Trades are only taken when price is in the 'favorable' half of the channel relative to the regime.

Known failure conditions

• The Candle Count History ratio approaches 1:1, indicating a lack of structural dominance.
• Price stays pinned to the TMA outer bands for extended periods during 'Power Trends', causing the repainting logic to trap the strategy in counter-trend positions.
• Historical candle counts for the specific timeframe exceed 100,000, making the counter insensitive to recent year shifts.
