Matrix-Fractal Cycle Divergence Strategy
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, Indices, Commodities · Timeframes: H1, H4
Thesis
Market structure is best defined by price extremes (Fractals), but simple breakouts are prone to 'noise' entries. By filtering these breakouts with an Ehlers-style cyclical oscillator (MESA Stochastic) and ignoring periods of high-impact news, we capture institutional order flow that has cleared structural hurdles and is entering a high-probability momentum cycle.
Components
- Matrix Int Support Test (regime) — Acts as a computational 'integrity gate'; ensuring that the underlying data structures for matrix-based calculations are valid before logic execution.
- Mn Fractal Store (direction) — Identifies the 'hard' structural levels of the market. Breakouts of these stored fractal peaks/troughs define the directional bias.
- Ehlers MESA Stochastic (MSTOCH) (entry) — Filters out spectral noise and trend-bias using a roofing filter to provide a clean cyclical entry signal within the established fractal direction.
- Bears Power (exit) — Quantifies the exhaustion of selling pressure. For long exits, a reversal in Bears Power signifies that sellers are regaining control relative to the EMA.
- AlgoMaster News Indicator (NNFX-style) (risk) — Provides a volatility/event filter; the strategy suspends trading and adjusts risk during high-impact news to avoid slippage.
- ATR Stop Loss Finder (volatility_filter) — Calculates a dynamic, volatility-adjusted buffer for stop-loss placement based on current market expansion/contraction.
Known failure conditions
- Price stays within a tight range, causing Mn Fractal Store to generate overlapping levels that trigger multiple whipsaws.
- Ehlers MSTOCH remains pegged at extremes during 'parabolic' runs, preventing reentry or timing signals.
- News data feed disconnection (AlgoMaster) leading to exposure during black-swan events.
