MTF-Cyclic Volume Thrust Strategy

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: Equities, Forex, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

Market movements are composed of macro-trends and micro-cycles. By aligning entries with the start of a micro-cycle (detected by DSP/DPO) that matches the macro-trend direction (MTF MAs), and requiring high relative volume (RVOL) to confirm institutional interest, the strategy captures high-momentum thrusts with defined risk parameters.

Components

• MA(x6) Multi-Timeframe Visualizer (regime) — Establishes the macro-regime; long trades are only taken when price is above the H4 and Daily trend projections.
• Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) (direction) — Filters out the trend to identify the current phase of the short-term cycle, ensuring we are not buying at a local cyclical peak.
• Ehlers Detrended Synthetic Price (DSP) (entry) — Acts as the high-precision trigger by identifying the crossover of the quarter-cycle and half-cycle EMAs.
• ATR Stop Loss Finder (exit) — Provides a volatility-adjusted exit point that expands and contracts with market noise levels.
• RVOL (Relative Volume) (risk) — Ensures that the cyclical turn is supported by institutional participation, filtering out low-liquidity noise.

Known failure conditions

• RVOL remains high while price oscillates in a tight range (distribution/accumulation).
• Price consistently violates MTF MA levels with no follow-through (regime transition).
• Market enters a 'random walk' phase where cycle periods (DSP) fluctuate rapidly.
