Inertial Box Momentum Scalper

Family: breakout · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: FX, Equities, Crypto · Timeframes: M15, H1

Thesis

Market trends exhibit 'burst' characteristics where structural breakouts (Darvas) are most reliable when they occur in the direction of high-timeframe volume-weighted slope and are confirmed by immediate order flow intensity (Flexible Momentum). The combination of TII and ALMA ensures entry only during 'Inertial' phases of a trend.

Components

• Trend Intensity Index (TII) (regime) — Identifies established trend regimes to prevent counter-trend entries in noisy zones.
• ALMA with Floating Levels (direction) — Filters short-term noise and confirms price direction relative to adaptive levels.
• Darvas Boxes MetaTrader 5 (entry) — Provides structural breakout signals from consolidation ranges within the trend.
• ATR SL Finder (exit)
• TMA Risk Panel (risk)
• Flexible Momentum (confirmation) — Ensures the breakout is supported by immediate tick-level buying/selling pressure.
• 200-Day Trend Background (Smoothed Volume Gradient) (volatility_filter) — Ensures the local breakout aligns with higher-timeframe trend and volume expansion.

Known failure conditions

• Price frequently hits SL before reaching 1:1 RR despite trend alignment.
• Flexible Momentum triggers on low-volume spread spikes rather than true volume.
• HTF Slope remains neutral for over 60% of trading sessions.
