Macro-Structural Grid Momentum Hybrid

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, Equities, Commodities · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

Market participants react to round numbers and fixed point-intervals (Grid), creating liquidity pockets. By entering at these structural points only when macro-risk is low and momentum (ROC/TDI) is accelerating, we exploit the behavioral tendency of price to 'cascade' between grid levels. The QQE exit acts as a noise-tolerant filter for the trade's conclusion.

Components

• Point Based Grid (regime) — Defines the 'playing field' by identifying static price levels where liquidity clusters often reside.
• Rate of Change (by PK) (direction) — Ensures the trade aligns with immediate price velocity (momentum filter).
• Traders Dynamic Index (TDI) (entry) — Uses the RSI/Volatility Band interaction to identify high-probability mean-reversion or breakout entries.
• Qualitative Quantitative Estimation (QQE) (exit) — Provides a smoothed momentum trailing stop to capture the meat of the move without exiting on minor noise.
• Macro Risk Dashboard v8.2 (risk) — Determines the overall risk appetite (Risk-On/Risk-Off) to scale position size or halt trading.
• Stochastic Oscillator (confirmation) — Confirms that the TDI entry occurs at a relative extreme (overbought/oversold) in the short-term cycle.
• Bollinger Bands (volatility_filter) — Filters out trades when volatility is too low (squeeze) or when price is already overextended.

Known failure conditions

• If the Macro Risk Dashboard signals extreme cross-market stress (Composite > 80), the strategy's assumption of orderly momentum fails.
• Persistent 'pegging' of Stochastic and TDI in high-trend environments leading to multiple false reversal signals.
• Price remains stuck within a single Point Based Grid interval for extended periods, indicating a lack of participation.
