Log-Anchor Dynamic Spike System
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities, Crypto, Boom/Crash Indices · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1
Thesis
Price spikes occurring in the direction of an ultra-long-term 'anchor' trend (defined by a cumulative-mean EMA) are more likely to represent genuine institutional order flow rather than noise, especially when validated by log-stabilized variance and volatility expansion.
Components
- Logarithmic Transformation (LOG) (regime) — Normalizes price data to ensure that trend-following signals are based on percentage moves rather than absolute price, which is critical for long-term growing EMA filters.
- Unsupported UDF Switch Reassignment EMA (direction) — Acts as an 'infinite memory' anchor; as the bar index grows, this EMA becomes an ultra-stable baseline that filters out all but the most persistent secular trends.
- GOM KOLA SIDO — Full Integration (entry) — Provides the high-precision trigger via the 'Spike Entry' threshold, identifying local market structure breakouts (CHoCH) and volume spikes.
- Commodity Channel Index (CCI) (exit) — Identifies momentum exhaustion to time exits before the lagging trend-following components can react.
- SuperTrend (risk) — Provides a volatility-adjusted trailing stop that accounts for ATR-based noise.
- SMA3x5+BB - pjdhiro (volatility_filter) — Ensures entries only occur during volatility expansion (price breaking bands), preventing entries in low-liquidity/sideways environments.
Known failure conditions
- The strategy will fail if price remains stagnant for thousands of bars, as the Directional EMA length will grow so large it effectively becomes a horizontal line, losing all sensitivity.
- In highly mean-reverting markets, the volatility filter (BB) will trigger entries at the exact moment of exhaustion.
