Recursive Frankenstein Volatility Breakout
Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, Equities, Indices · Timeframes: H1, H4
Thesis
Market prices exhibit inertia and 'herding' behavior once a volatility threshold is breached in the direction of a long-term recursive trend. By utilizing recursive smoothing (to filter noise) and alpha-weighted structural levels (to define risk), the strategy captures the 'meat' of a move between exhaustion levels defined by Fibonacci volatility extensions.
Components
- Indicator Workspace Template (SIBVIC) (regime) — Used as the structural framework for consolidating external data feeds.
- Recursive Moving Average Unlimited (direction) — Determines the primary trend bias through iterative smoothing to reduce noise.
- Frankenstein Ultimate Pro - ATM Logic (entry) — Pinpoints entries using a combination of Zero-Lag TEMA and Linear Regression alignment with volatility expansion.
- ATR Fib (exit) — Provides static volatility-adjusted profit targets based on the session's range.
- GAS Price Levels (risk) — Utilizes Bollinger Bands and KAMA components to define structural stop-loss levels.
Known failure conditions
- Recursive MA shows flat oscillation without clear crossover, leading to 'whipsaw' in ranging markets.
- Entry signals occur when price is already at the ATR Fib 1.0 level, leaving no remaining R:R.
- GAS Levels expand drastically during news events, making the stop-loss distances impossible to clear with standard 1.5 RR.
