KNN Volume-Structure Breakout System

Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities, Forex, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1

Thesis

Market participants often react to structural levels (Pivots) but need a volume-backed catalyst to sustain a trend. This strategy assumes that a volatility expansion (Squeeze) combined with AI-confirmed volume direction and a recovery from momentum extremes (Williams %R) identifies the highest probability phase of a trend's lifecycle. The edge is behavioral: capturing the transition from consolidation to expansion while the 'herd' is still validating the move via Elder-Ray style power metrics.

Components

• Pivot Point S&R with GMT Correction (regime) — Establishes the intraday bias based on session opens; price above the Central Pivot indicates a bullish regime.
• Volume SuperTrend AI (Expo) (direction) — Combines volume-weighted price action with KNN-based classification to filter out low-conviction trend signals.
• Williams %R (entry) — Identifies tactical entry points by catching 'minor pullbacks' within the larger established trend.
• Auto Pitchfork (exit) — Provides structural exit targets based on the median line of the most recent significant price pivots.
• GAS Price Levels (risk) — Utilizes dynamic Bollinger and ATR levels to set volatility-adjusted stops and calculate position size.
• Total Power Indicator (confirmation) — Provides a secondary confirmation by ensuring the dominant side (Bulls/Bears) has a statistical edge in recent bars.
• NNFX Squeeze (Volatility Breakout) (volatility_filter) — Prevents entering during low-volatility 'chops' by ensuring a volatility expansion (BB > KC) is occurring.

Known failure conditions

• Consecutive signals failing at R1/S1 pivot levels, indicating market structure is ignoring historical floor pivots.
• KNN prediction accuracy drops significantly in low-volume, high-volatility environments (whipsaws).
• Williams %R stays pinned in extreme zones for >20 bars while price consolidates, indicating momentum exhaustion.
