Multi-Factor Global Momentum Synchronizer

Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

This strategy hypothesizes that sustainable trends occur when a currency exhibits global relative strength across multiple pairs (DCI) during a period of local volatility expansion (Gator). By using a low-lag Ehlers filter for direction and volume-weighted pivots for risk, the strategy attempts to capture the 'meat' of the move while exiting when market structure (Fractals) indicates exhaustion. The core edge lies in the confluence of institutional-level currency strength and retail momentum indicators.

Components

• Gator Oscillator (Standard) (regime) — Identifies the 'Eating' phase of the trend, ensuring the strategy only operates during periods of high momentum expansion.
• Ehlers SuperSmoother Filter (direction) — Acts as a low-lag trend filter to define the primary directional bias.
• Traders Dynamic Index (TDI) (entry) — Provides the specific trade trigger via the RSI Price Line crossing the Trade Signal Line within volatility bands.
• FractalScanner (exit) — Defines local market structure exhaustion points for dynamic exits.
• Volume and Pivot Points Correlation with Full Control (risk) — Uses high-volume pivot zones (War Zones) to set stop-loss levels and calculate position sizing.
• Darwinex Labs Currency Index (confirmation) — Validates that the underlying currency is strengthening/weakening globally, not just against one pair.
• Spread Monitor (Tick-Level) (volatility_filter) — Prevents entry during periods of low liquidity or news-driven spread spikes.

Known failure conditions

• DCI index shows divergence where the pair is rising but the base currency index is falling (indicative of counter-currency weakness only).
• Spread exceeds 2.5x the 24-hour median spread during entry.
• Gator Oscillator 'sated' phase (all red bars) occurs immediately after entry, suggesting trend exhaustion.
