Projected-OB Q-Level Hybrid

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: Equities, Forex, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

Markets respect specific price levels derived from options positioning and institutional flow (Order Blocks); entries at these levels in the direction of a projected volatility expansion (BB Prediction) provide a high-convexity edge. This edge exists because institutional 'footprints' often precede a retest of structural liquidity before the primary move continues.

Components

• GOM BB Prediction (300 bars) (regime) — Filters trades by ensuring the projected linear trajectory of the Bollinger Midpoint aligns with the trade direction, avoiding entries into predicted volatility contraction.
• Order Block / FVG Detector (direction) — Provides the directional bias by identifying institutional footprints (impulsive reversals) through 3-candle structural patterns.
• Q-Levels V2.2 (entry) — Acts as the high-precision trigger, requiring price to interact with externally defined 'Gamma' or 'Institutional' levels before execution.
• Momentum Oscillator (exit) — Used to capture exhaustion; exits the trade when momentum exceeds a predefined rate-of-change threshold or reverses to the mean.
• Extrem SuperTrend (risk) — Provides a dynamic, ATR-based trailing stop loss to protect capital and manage position size based on current volatility.

Known failure conditions

• Extrapolated BB slopes flip frequently (whipsaw) in low-volatility ranging environments.
• Q-Levels are not updated daily, leading to entries at 'stale' price targets that no longer hold liquidity.
• Order Blocks are formed and immediately invalidated by high-volatility news events.
