Non-Random Pullback Adaptive Strategy
Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: FX, Indices, Commodities · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1
Thesis
Market trends are often indistinguishable from random noise on shorter timeframes. By using the Random Walk Index to verify that price displacement is statistically significant relative to ATR, we increase the probability that a HiLo-confirmed trend is persistent. Entering on Williams %R pullbacks within these 'verified' trends captures the momentum at a structural discount.
Components
- Random Walk Index (RWI BTF) (regime) — Filters out non-trending noise. Only allows entry when displacement exceeds random walk probability.
- HiLo Activator (Gann Style) (direction) — Provides the primary trend bias and structural support/resistance levels.
- Williams %R (entry) — Identifies short-term oversold/overbought pullbacks within the established trend for high-probability entries.
- MultiKAMA (TyphooN) (exit) — An adaptive exit filter that tightens during high volatility and allows breathing room during low volatility.
- Chandelier Exit (risk) — Dynamic volatility-based stop loss to protect capital from parabolic reversals.
Known failure conditions
- Persistently low Efficiency Ratio (ER) in MultiKAMA leads to 'stair-stepping' exits that trigger on minor noise.
- RWI consistently stays below 1.0 despite Price Direction changes, indicating a permanent shift to mean-reverting regime.
