Institutional Liquidity & Wave-Harmonic Confluence

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

Thesis

The strategy assumes that price reversals occur at the intersection of institutional liquidity zones (SNAP) and harmonic structural points. By requiring momentum (MACD) and volume-weighted structural alignment (WaveTrend) for entry, it filters out low-probability bounces, while the smoothed RSX captures the core of the subsequent momentum expansion.

Components

• SNAP HTF_LTF Indicator (regime) — Establishes the institutional 'battleground' by identifying HTF liquidity pools and breaker blocks where price is likely to find support/resistance.
• MACD Classic (3-Line) (direction) — Provides a secondary trend filter to ensure the trade aligns with intermediate-term momentum, reducing counter-trend exposure.
• WaveTrend v3 [WavesUnchained] (entry) — Functions as the primary trigger; requires both an oversold/overbought oscillator cross and a high confluence score from POC reclaims and MTF alignment.
• RSX (Relative Strength Quality Index) (exit) — Offers a smooth, low-lag exit signal to capture the peak of momentum moves before the standard RSI would exhibit noise.
• Custom Pattern Detection (risk) — Used as a structural filter to ensure entries occur at the terminal point (D/E) of harmonic-like Fibonacci patterns.
• ATR Stop Loss Finder (volatility_filter) — Calculates the volatility-adjusted floor (for longs) or ceiling (for shorts) to define risk per trade.

Known failure conditions

• Price oscillates through DRT levels without any reaction, indicating a 'broken' market structure.
• WaveTrend Alignment Score remains >3 during a prolonged trending move without a cross, leading to missed entries.
• RSX stays pegged above 70/below 30 during high-volatility trend expansions (runaway trends).
