Order Block Volatility-Adaptive Pulse
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX Majors, Equity Indices, Large-Cap Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4
Thesis
Price discovery occurs in 'bursts' that leave institutional footprints (Order Blocks). This strategy assumes that a return to these zones after a high-volatility expansion (filtered by VIDYA and MACD) offers a high-probability entry as institutions defend their positions. The use of Murrey Math provides a non-arbitrary, fractal-based exit and risk structure that adapts to the asset's current price scale.
Components
- MACD EMA Crossover Visualizer (regime) — Defines the primary trend bias to ensure entries align with medium-term momentum.
- Momentum (direction) — Ensures that price is moving in the desired direction at the moment of entry.
- Sonarlab - Order Blocks (entry) — Identifies institutional supply/demand zones created by explosive price movements; acts as the execution trigger when price revisits the zone.
- Momentum (MOM) (exit) — Ensures that price is moving in the desired direction at the moment of entry.
- Murrey Math Line X (risk) — Provides objective, fractal-based price levels (1/8th intervals) for setting stop losses and determining position size based on volatility-adjusted support/resistance.
- Variable Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA) (volatility_filter) — Acts as a volatility-adjusted filter; price must be on the 'correct' side of this adaptive average to ensure sufficient market activity.
Known failure conditions
- Murrey Math levels shifting more than 3 times in 24 hours (excessive volatility/noise)
- Price hovering inside the Order Block for >10 bars without a breakout (zone invalidation)
- MOM values remaining near 0 for extended periods (flat market)
