Thesis

Trend-following strategies often fail because they enter 'late' trends that are losing volume or entering volatility contraction. This strategy hypothesizes that by filtering for high ADXR (trend strength), positive OBV flow (volume support), and a positive linear projection of the Bollinger Mid-Band (volatility trajectory), we can identify trends with sufficient 'runway' left to absorb the noise of an ATR-based entry. Using structural pivots (Roshaneforde) for stops ensures the trade is invalidated by a break in market structure rather than noise.

Components

GOM BB Prediction (300 bars) (regime) — Used to ensure the trade is initiated when the projected volatility channel is expanding or sloping in the trade direction, preventing entries into projected contractions.
Heikin Ashi (direction) — Provides a smoothed trend bias; entry only occurs when HA color aligns with the signal to filter out minor pullbacks.
UT Bot Alerts (MQL5) (entry) — The primary execution trigger based on ATR trailing stop crossovers, capturing tactical momentum shifts.
RSI Area (Histogram) (exit) — Identifies exhaustion points where the trend is likely to mean-revert, used for profit-taking at overbought/oversold extremes.
Roshaneforde Pivot Levels (risk) — Provides structural support/resistance levels based on candle reversals for hard stop-loss placement and R:R calculation.
On-Balance Volume (OBV) (confirmation) — Confirms that price movement is supported by volume flow to filter out 'hollow' price spikes.
Average Directional Movement Index Rating (ADXR) (volatility_filter) — Filters out low-volatility/ranging regimes where UT Bot is prone to whipsaws; requires a minimum trend strength rating.

Known failure conditions

ADXR stays below 20 for extended periods, rendering the UT Bot signals invalid.
Bollinger Band predicted slopes diverge significantly from realized price action within the first 50 bars.
Price remains pinned between Roshaneforde Pivot Levels for > 50 bars (bracketed market).
