Institutional Flow Momentum Hybrid
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities, Forex, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, D1
Thesis
Momentum breakouts (QQE/TDI) are only tradable when confirmed by positive money flow (A/D) and when the market is not in a state of exhaustion (Climax) or institutional distribution (D-Day). By filtering for these structural conditions, we avoid high-probability bull/bear traps.
Components
- Type Declaration Coverage Template (regime) — Governs the data architecture (UDTs) to ensure high-fidelity handling of multi-component signals in a v6 environment.
- Traders Dynamic Index (TDI) (direction) — Establishes the medium-term momentum and sentiment bias using the relationship between RSI and volatility bands.
- Qualitative Quantitative Estimation (QQE) (entry) — Provides the tactical entry trigger by identifying momentum acceleration via the RSI trailing volatility band.
- Heikin-Ashi Candles (exit) — Filters out minor retracements to maintain a trend-following posture until a structural reversal occurs.
- Gain Loss Info (Visual Overlays) (risk) — Quantifies localized volatility to set hard stop-loss levels based on percentage-move thresholds.
- Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) (confirmation) — Validates price movement with volume-weighted money flow to filter out low-conviction breakouts.
- Combined Candle Counter (CCC) Dev (volatility_filter) — Prevents entry during exhaustion phases (Climaxes) or institutional selling (D-Days) and provides S/R levels.
Known failure conditions
- Successive failure of momentum entries during 'Distribution Days' (D-Days) indicates institutional rotation that momentum indicators cannot catch.
- A/D divergence persisting for >10 bars without price resolution suggests the volume data is disconnected from current price volatility.
- Frequent HA color flips in a low-volatility environment lead to 'death by a thousand cuts' via spreads.
