Neural-Darvas LVN Breakout Ensemble
Family: breakout · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Crypto (ATOMUSDT focus), Equities, FX · Timeframes: 15m (Optimized for ATOM), 1H
Thesis
Breakouts from consolidation zones (Darvas) are statistically more likely to transition into sustained trends when they occur at high-volume nodes (Supply/Demand) and are confirmed by both linear (Logit) and non-linear (Neural Network) probability models, provided the market's forecast error (MdAE) remains low. The edge exists in the convergence of structural breakout, liquidity validation, and machine-learned momentum.
Components
- Total Power Indicator (regime) — Acts as the primary regime filter to ensure trades are only taken when a trend is establishing (Total Power > 20) and not in a 'dead' or perfectly balanced market.
- Darvas Boxes Modern/Classic (direction) — Identifies structural breakouts from consolidation ranges; the 'modern' mode allows for more adaptive box tracking.
- Dynamic Supply and Demand Zones [AlgoAlpha] (entry) — Filters breakouts to ensure price is interacting with Low Volume Nodes (LVN) or supply/demand shifts, providing a 'liquidity' anchor for the entry.
- Relative Vigor Index (RVI) (exit) — Used for momentum exhaustion; a crossover against the trend suggests the 'vigor' of the move is fading.
- ATOM Coefficient Indicator (logit) (risk) — Provides the final statistical probability layer and defines the risk parameters (SL/TP) using its hardcoded ATR coefficients.
- Neural Network Indicator (NNind) (confirmation) — Acts as a secondary confirmation filter, ensuring price action momentum (via CLV) is aligned with a pre-trained MLP model.
- Median Absolute Error (volatility_filter) — Filters out periods where the market is behaving erratically (high forecast error between Open and Close), ensuring higher predictability.
Known failure conditions
- The ATOM Coefficient logit model P-value remains between 0.45 and 0.55 for extended periods, resulting in zero signals.
- Market volatility (MdAE) stays consistently above its 50-period average, indicating a permanent shift to a high-noise regime where breakouts are statistically random.
- Consecutive Darvas Box collapses where price breaks one side and immediately reverses to the other (choppiness).
