NY Session Atlas Pivot Continuation
Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: FX (Major Pairs), Indices (US30, GER40), Equities · Timeframes: M15, H1
Thesis
The strategy assumes that the NY session often continues the trend of the EU session if backed by significant volume. By waiting for a bullish pivot (minor correction and breakout) at institutional round numbers (Grid) or volume-weighted support zones, we capture the 'second leg' of a daily trend with high-probability structural backing.
Components
- ATLS: Session Atlas (regime) — Establishes the session-specific regime; the strategy specifically seeks alignment between EU momentum and NY execution.
- Frankenstein Ultimate Pro - ATM Logic (direction) — Provides the primary trend filter (LSMA) and ensures entry occurs during a high-volatility expansion (ATR Filter).
- Bullish Pivot Detector (entry) — Acts as the trigger mechanism by identifying a exhaustion sequence (red candles) followed by a momentum break (green trigger).
- Donchian Channels (exit) — Provides a dynamic trailing exit that allows for trend capture while protecting against sharp reversals.
- Grid Points Utility (risk) — Defines the structural risk floor; institutional 'round numbers' or fixed intervals serve as the psychological stop-loss basis.
- Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels [BigBeluga] (volatility_filter) — Filters out entries that occur too far from volume-validated support or into low-volume resistance.
Known failure conditions
- Mean EU session performance (ATLS) loses its predictive correlation with NY session direction.
- Volatility drops consistently below the 1.2x ATR multiplier, resulting in zero signals.
- Price action persistently violates Volumatic Support levels without producing the Bullish Pivot trigger.
