POC Intensity Flow System

Thesis

Market momentum is most predictive when price accelerates away from a high-volume 'fair value' area (POC) with confirmed aggressive buying/selling pressure (CVD). By using the TII to filter for 'extreme intensity' and the Order Block to define structural risk, we capture the meat of a trend while exiting as soon as the MACD momentum begins to wane.

Components

• Volume Profile + Pivot Levels [ChartPrime] (regime) — Identifies the Point of Control (POC) to ensure we are only trading at 'fair value' or in high-volume liquidity nodes, avoiding low-volume vacuums.
• Trend Intensity Index (TII) (direction) — Confirms the broad directional momentum to ensure entry is aligned with institutional flow strength.
• Plotshape Test Indicator (entry) — Provides a secondary momentum threshold check for price action (close > 2 units over prior close).
• MACD Classic (3-Line) (exit) — Uses the Signal line cross to time the exit when momentum begins to mean-revert or exhaust.
• Sonarlab - Order Blocks (risk) — Defines the structural invalidation point (Stop Loss) based on the most recent high-momentum reversal zone.
• Buddha Money Flow (confirmation) — Filters entries using Volume Delta (CVD) to ensure price movement is backed by aggressive market orders (imbalances).

Known failure conditions

• Price remains stuck at POC for >50 bars, indicating a high-volume node has become a permanent range.
• Order Blocks are frequently 'pierced' and then respected, suggesting the ROC sensitivity is too low for current volatility.
• CVD and Price divergence persists for multiple bars, suggesting hidden absorption that the strategy cannot detect.
