Recursive Logit Momentum Scalper
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Crypto (ATOMUSDT preferred) · Timeframes: 15m
Thesis
Market momentum is most tradeable when price breakthroughs (Recursive MA) are synchronized with volume-confirmed trends (Hybrid Scanner) and validated by institutional footprint models (ATOM Logit). By using the momentum of the MACD histogram (MACDO) as an exit, the strategy captures the 'meat' of the move and exits as velocity declines, while the Logit model provides asset-specific structural boundaries for risk.
Components
- Custom 006 Hybrid Table Scanner (regime) — Acts as the primary trend and liquidity filter, ensuring trades only occur when price is in an established trend with active volume participation.
- EMA with Switch-Based Length Reassignment (direction) — Provides a high-sensitivity baseline for immediate trend direction; even with dormant switch logic, the EMA(2) acts as a proxy for 'fast' price action.
- Recursive Moving Average Unlimited (entry) — The multi-iterative smoothing creates a high-lag but extremely smooth 'trigger' line. Crossovers of this line indicate significant momentum shifts that overcome the recursive smoothing.
- Moving Average Convergence/Divergence Oscillation (MACDO) (exit) — Exits based on the 'momentum of the histogram,' catching the deceleration of a move before the price action fully reverses.
- ATOM Coefficient Indicator (logit) (risk) — Uses a logistic regression of market structure (FVG, liquidity) to provide a final 'go/no-go' probabilistic hurdle and defines the volatility-based risk parameters.
Known failure conditions
- Price remains in a high-volatility chop zone where the Recursive MA oscillates across the price frequently.
- The ATOM Coefficient model's AUC drops significantly below 0.50, indicating the logistic weights are no longer valid for current market structure.
- Volume spikes (Hybrid Scanner score part 2) become frequent but uncorrelated with price direction (wash trading).
