Infrastructure Envelope Retracement System
Family: pullback · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: Equities, Forex, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1
Thesis
Sustainable trends are characterized by a 'break and retest' of structural levels. By using a long-term MA Channel to define the trend regime and the PiPi infrastructure to locate internal 'Level Middle' nodes, we can enter pullbacks with momentum confirmation (HMA) and target exogenous liquidity zones (Q-Levels), exploiting the tendency of price to oscillate between structural balance points during an expansion.
Components
- MA Channel (Framework Version) (regime) — Defines the 'active' regime. If price breaks the high/low envelope, a trend is initiated and tracked by the counter.
- Hull Moving Average (HMA) (direction) — Provides a fast, low-lag filter to ensure the immediate momentum aligns with the regime breakout.
- PiPi (Price Infrastructure & Position Interface) (entry) — Identifies internal market structure (Fib levels and mid-points) to provide specific entry nodes within a trend.
- Q-Levels V2.2 (exit) — Uses exogenous or pre-calculated horizontal levels (Gamma/Expected Moves) to define realistic take-profit targets.
- ATR Stop Loss Finder (risk) — Calculates a volatility-adjusted floor/ceiling for risk management.
Known failure conditions
- Persistent sideways action where price oscillates within the MA Channel without triggering the counter.
- Stale Q-Levels text data leading to exits at irrelevant price points.
- Rapid trend reversals that happen faster than the HMA slope can flip.
