KNN-Volume Grid Breakout Strategy

Family: breakout · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, Indices, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

Markets exhibit 'memory' at fixed point intervals (Grid nodes) where liquidity clusters. A Donchian breakout occurring at these nodes suggests a high-probability expansion, provided volume (SuperTrend AI) and velocity (Momentum) confirm the move. The KNN component acts as a filter to ensure the current price/volume signature resembles historically successful trend continuations rather than exhaustion spikes.

Components

• Point Based Grid (regime) — Establishes a static 'psychological' framework; price action near these fixed nodes serves as a catalyst for regime-based setups.
• Momentum Oscillator (direction) — Ensures that the breakout has positive rate-of-change velocity in the direction of the trade.
• Donchian Channels (DC) (entry) — Acts as the mechanical trigger for breakout entries when price exceeds local volatility bounds.
• CCI / Connectable [Azullian] (exit) — Identifies trend exhaustion or reversals to lock in profits before mean reversion occurs.
• Support and Resistance (Fractal-based) (risk) — Provides dynamic, structural price levels for stop-loss placement based on the most recent swing points.
• Volume SuperTrend AI (Expo) (confirmation) — Combines volume-weighted trend logic with KNN pattern recognition to confirm that the breakout is supported by institutional flow and historical similarity.

Known failure conditions

• Price oscillates around a single Grid node without sustaining a breakout for >3 cycles.
• Donchian Channel width shrinks to less than the Spread + Average Commission cost (volatility compression).
• KNN KNN classification oscillates (Red/Green) every 3-5 bars, indicating a lack of historical pattern reliability.
