Institutional Reassignment OB Hybrid
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, Equities, Indices · Timeframes: H1, H4
Thesis
Institutional liquidity (Order Blocks) acts as a high-probability floor in trending markets. By utilizing a macro-structural filter (UDF EMA) to ensure we are with the long-term tide, and momentum oscillators (RSI/Stochastic) to time the entry after a liquidity touch, we can capture the 'third wave' of a trend. The hypothesis is that the structural bias of the growing EMA will eventually filter out all but the most parabolic, stable trends.
Components
- Kijun Sen Envelope (regime) — Defines the outer 'volatility' boundaries; price must be above the MidLine for long-bias and below for short-bias.
- Unsupported UDF Switch Reassignment EMA (direction) — Acts as a 'Deep Lag' structural filter. Because the length grows with the bar index, it serves as an ultra-slow moving average that confirms the multi-year or long-term trend direction.
- Relative Strength Index (RSI) (entry) — Identifies short-term momentum exhaustion (dips) within the larger structural trend.
- ATR Heiken Ashi (exit) — Uses smoothed Heiken Ashi volatility to identify when price movement is losing directional steam, triggering an exit.
- Sonarlab - Order Blocks (risk) — Provides the structural 'floor' or 'ceiling' for the trade. Entry is only valid when price is interacting with a high-momentum supply/demand zone.
- OTLIB Stochastic Oscillator (confirmation) — Confirms the cyclical turn after price enters an Order Block.
- ATR SL Finder (volatility_filter) — Calculates a dynamic technical stop-loss based on recent candle volatility.
Known failure conditions
- Price stays pinned to RSI overbought/oversold levels while the Kijun MidLine flattens, indicating a regime shift to a grinding range.
- The UDF EMA lag becomes so extreme that it prevents entry for the entirety of a multi-month trend.
