Laguerre-Alpha Volatility Hybrid
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: FX, EQUITIES, CRYPTO · Timeframes: M15, H1
Thesis
Market edges exist in the transition from low-volatility consolidation to high-momentum breakouts. By using Alpha factors to identify structural strength (GAS) and Laguerre polynomials to filter price noise, we can enter 'cleaner' momentum legs. The high-sensitivity Chandelier Exit (ATR 1) based on Heiken Ashi candles captures the 'tail' of the move while protecting capital against the immediate mean-reversion characteristic of failed breakouts.
Components
- GAS Price Levels (regime) — Identifies structural regime shifts using alpha factors (concavity/momentum/volatility) to filter noise.
- Buddha Price Line (direction) — Confirms micro-trend directionality through immediate bar-to-bar price action bias.
- Laguerre RSI (entry) — Provides low-lag momentum entry signals by identifies cycles within the smoothed Laguerre domain.
- Equity Line Projection (exit) — Manages exits based on account-level P&L targets projected against price structure.
- Chandelier Exit Heiken Ashi Variant (risk) — Determines hard stop levels and position sizing based on Heiken Ashi volatility/trend boundaries.
- Gain Loss Info (Visual Overlays) (volatility_filter) — Filters out low-volatility environments where price moves fail to meet minimum point/percent thresholds.
Known failure conditions
- The strategy fails if Laguerre RSI remains 'pinned' at 1 or 0 for extended periods while price trades against the trend.
- Frequent ATR-based whipsaws due to the ATR period of 1 in the Chandelier component.
- Equity projection fails to trigger if global symbol spreads widen significantly beyond the projected line.
