NY Gaussian Liquidity Sweep Strategy

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: FX (Major Pairs), Indices (US30, NAS100) · Timeframes: M5, M15

Thesis

The market exhibits a tendency to trap retail liquidity at short-term swing points (sweeps) before continuing in the direction of the dominant multi-timeframe trend. This hypothesis assumes that institutional orders are filled by triggering stop-losses at session extremes, and the subsequent price reversal is confirmed when low-lag momentum (ALMA) and market structure (Fractals) align with the macro regime (MTF Dashboard).

Components

Multi Timeframe Moving Average Dashboard (regime) — Establishes the macro 'aggregate' trend; only trading when the majority of timeframes align to prevent counter-trend friction.
Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) (direction) — Acts as the tactical trend filter; price must be on the 'correct' side of this low-lag curve to justify an entry.
The Daily Sweep (entry) — Captures the institutional liquidity hunt (the 'stop run') during peak volatility hours.
Custom 004 Liquidity Map with Drawings (exit) — Identifies the logical target for price (the opposite pool of liquidity) for objective profit taking.
Session Range (High/Low/Mid) (risk) — Uses the current session's volatility bounds to set logical stop losses and calculate position size.
FractalScanner (confirmation) — Provides a structural confirmation of a local pivot point after the liquidity sweep has occurred.
Average True Range (NNFX) (volatility_filter) — Ensures entries only occur during periods of sufficient expansion to overcome spread and slippage.

Known failure conditions

Multi-day periods of low volatility where price fails to sweep the 10-period extremes.
High-impact news events (CPI, FOMC) that cause slippage beyond the session range bounds.
Regime drift where MTF dashboard shows Bullish but ALMA shows steep Bearish slope.
