KOLA-MESA Roofing Cycle Hybrid

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

Thesis

The strategy assumes that institutional 'flow' (KOLA) and volume-backed momentum (Force Index) create tradable trends, while the noise in these trends is cyclical. By applying Ehlers' roofing filters to a stochastic oscillator, we can isolate the underlying cycle and enter when it realigns with the primary trend, using News filtering to avoid exogenous volatility shocks that break mathematical cycles.

Components

• GOM KOLA SIDO — Full Integration (regime) — Determines the primary trend via Supertrend and market structure via KOLA pivot levels to ensure trades are aligned with institutional flow.
• Force Index (NNFX Variant) (direction) — Confirms the regime bias with volume-weighted momentum, ensuring price movements are supported by market activity.
• Ehlers MESA Stochastic (MSTOCH) (entry) — Filters out trend noise using a roofing filter to identify cycle turning points for precise entry timing.
• Donchian Channels (exit) — Provides a trailing stop mechanism based on volatility-adjusted price extremes (Turtle style).
• FakeCandle (risk) — Standardizes price representation for stop-loss calculation and position sizing within the NNFX-inspired framework.
• News Indicator NMNNFX (volatility_filter) — Prevents automated entries during high-impact news windows to avoid erratic spread widening and slippage.

Known failure conditions

• Prolonged flat or 'choppy' markets where the Force Index oscillates around zero without trend conviction.
• High-frequency news environments where the filter prevents all entries during trending periods.
• Instrument volatility shifts that render the fixed HP Length of the MESA Stochastic out of sync with the dominant cycle.
