KOLA-ADX Structural Momentum Escape

Thesis

The strategy hypothesizes that trends on synthetic indices and high-volatility assets are most reliable when they escape a localized structural box (Percentile) and align with institutional-style pivots (KOLA/VWAP). By requiring ADX momentum to confirm the breakout, we attempt to filter out the 'spikes' that don't lead to sustained legs, using HA candles to manage the psychological noise of retracements.

Components

• GOM KOLA SIDO — Full Integration (regime) — Establishes market structure; requires price to be relative to KOLA pivots and VWAP before considering entries.
• Extrem SuperTrend (direction) — Acts as the primary directional filter to ensure momentum is aligned with the broader ATR-based trend.
• ADX / Connectable [Azullian] (entry) — The execution trigger; measures when directional strength (ADX) exceeds the noise threshold after a DI crossover.
• Chandelier Exit (exit) — Provides a volatility-adjusted trailing stop that allows winning trades to run until a significant contra-move.
• Parabolic SAR (risk) — Used for initial stop-loss placement and position sizing calculation based on trend acceleration.
• Heikin-Ashi Candles (confirmation) — Filters out minor price noise to ensure the trend color matches the intended trade direction, reducing false breakouts.
• Unsupported Box Array Percentile (volatility_filter) — Filters entries by ensuring price has escaped the median level of recent structural boxes (high/low ranges).

Known failure conditions

• Extended periods of sideways price action where PSAR and SuperTrend repeatedly flip.
• Price action remains pinned at the VWAP level within the KOLA touch zone without directional escape.
• Failure of the ADX to rise above 20 during price movements, indicating a 'grinding' market rather than a trending one.
