L'mas Momentum Expansion System

Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: FX, Equities, Indices · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1

Thesis

Trends are most profitable when entered at the point of volatility expansion rather than during peak velocity. By combining a structural trend filter (MA Channel) with a volatility breakout (NNFX Squeeze) and a refined momentum trigger (CCI), we can isolate the high-probability 'expansion' phase of a trend. The V54 diagnostic filter ensures that this momentum is grounded in continuous price action, avoiding 'gap-induced' momentum signals that often fail.

Components

• V54 stoch-independent-bound-holes (regime) — Used as a 'clean data' momentum filter; ensuring the stochastic calculation (momentum) is within active bounds and not suffering from price gaps or calculation errors before entry.
• MA Channel Band (L'mas System) (direction) — Provides the primary trend bias. Requires both price and a secondary MA to clear the channel, reducing false trend signals during minor price spikes.
• CCI Arrows (entry) — Acts as the tactical trigger; the zero-cross identifies the moment momentum aligns with the established higher-timeframe trend.
• Gator Oscillator (Standard) (exit) — Determines the exit by measuring the 'satiation' of the trend—when the balance lines begin to converge (bars shrink), the trend's energy is exhausted.
• Equity Line Projection (risk) — Standardizes risk by setting stop-loss levels based on projected account equity impact, ensuring every trade has a defined fiscal boundary.
• NNFX Squeeze (Volatility Breakout) (confirmation) — Filters out low-volatility 'squeezes'; only permits entry when Bollinger Bands expand outside Keltner Channels, indicating a momentum release.

Known failure conditions

• Protracted sideways markets where the MA Channel remains narrow and the NNFX Squeeze triggers frequent false breakouts.
• Low liquidity environments where 'holes' in price data (identified by V54) occur frequently, preventing signal generation during valid moves.
