Institutional MACD Structural Breakout

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex, Indices · Timeframes: M15 Cerver, H1

Thesis

High-probability momentum occurs when multi-timeframe trend alignment (MTF SMA) coincides with institutional 'smart money' footprints (Order Blocks/FVGs) and a confirmed structural shift (Mitigation Blocks). By using a modular MACD as the final execution trigger, the strategy enters only when short-term momentum validates the structural breakout, while the RSI Area prevents holding through the inevitable mean reversion.

Components

• Multi Timeframe Moving Average Dashboard (regime) — Determines the aggregate market bias by checking if price is above/below a cluster of SMAs across higher timeframes (H4/D1).
• Supported indicator max boxes count (direction) — Used as a rudimentary 'Current Momentum' check; ensures the current candle's direction aligns with the trade intent.
• Connect MACD (Azullian) (entry) — Acts as the primary entry trigger when short-term momentum aligns with the identified structural regime.
• RSI Area (Histogram) (exit) — Provides a hard exit signal when the move reaches statistical extremes (overbought/oversold), regardless of trend strength.
• ATR Heiken Ashi (risk) — Calculates smoothed volatility-based stop levels to avoid premature exits due to noise common in ICT-style setups.
• Order Block / FVG Detector (confirmation) — Confirms that the MACD signal is occurring near a point of institutional interest (liquidity gap or order block).
• ICT Mitigation Block Scanner (volatility_filter) — Filters out signals that do not originate from a Market Structure Shift (MSS), ensuring trades occur in high-volatility environments.

Known failure conditions

• Long-term SMAs (200/100) on the MTF Dashboard begin to converge/flatline, indicating a transition to a range regime.
• High frequency of FVG signals without price follow-through (indicates low-volume 'sawtooth' price action).
