Pivot-Force Volatility Map

Family: hybrid · Regime: mixed · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities, Forex, Crypto · Timeframes: 15m, 1h

Thesis

The strategy hypothesizes that market liquidity pools at Pivot levels. By filtering for volatility expansion (ATM Logic) and momentum confirmation (Average Force), we can differentiate between 'traps' and valid structural shifts. The use of a state-map allows for granular control over entry sequences that standard logic might misinterpret.

Components

• Unsupported Map Template (regime) — Used as a state-management regime filter to track 'Active' vs 'Inactive' trading windows or state transitions that standard variables cannot handle in v6.
• Unsupported for-in statement reassignment series iterable qualifier (direction) — Provides the primary trend direction; despite the loop issues, the underlying EMA(2) acts as a high-sensitivity direction filter.
• Pivot Points (Classic) (entry) — Defines the execution zones (S1/R1) for price action entries.
• HiLo Activator (Pandini Version) (exit) — Acts as a trailing trend-stop, forcing an exit when price action violates the previous N-period high/low average.
• Average True Range (ATR) (risk) — Provides volatility-adjusted stop-loss distances and dynamic position sizing.
• Average Force (confirmation) — Confirms entry by ensuring price is closing in the upper (for long) or lower (for short) half of the lookback range.
• Frankenstein Ultimate Pro - ATM Logic (volatility_filter) — Filters out low-volatility noise by requiring the current bar range to exceed a smoothed ATR threshold.

Known failure conditions

• Pivot levels are frequently breached with zero reaction, suggesting a regime shift to high-velocity trend.
• Average Force remains pinned at extremes (0.5 or -0.5) while price moves counter-trend, indicating exhaustion.
• High frequency of EMA(2) crossovers causing terminal churn in low-volatility environments.
