Recursive Normality USDX Trend System

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex (USD Pairs), Commodities (Gold/Oil) · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

The strategy assumes that sustainable price trends are 'Normally Distributed' moves (filtered by Jarque-Bera) supported by both fundamental Dollar liquidity (USDX) and institutional volume (VPCI). By entering only near high-volume structural 'War Zones' when a recursive trend trigger is hit, the system avoids 'random walk' noise and chases only high-probability momentum shifts.

Components

• Volume Price Confirmation Indicator (VPCI) (regime) — Determines if the current price trend is supported by volume (Confirmation) or is a 'hollow' move (Divergence).
• Matrix Sort Method UDF Test (direction) — Provides a sorted price baseline; although computationally heavy, it serves as the 'True Price' reference for trend direction.
• Recursive Moving Average Unlimited (entry) — Generates the actual entry trigger via its highly smoothed Composite Trigger line which filters out micro-noise.
• MACD (exit) — Identifies momentum exhaustion for exits before a full trend reversal occurs.
• Jarque-Bera Test (JB) (risk) — Quantifies 'Tail Risk'. High values indicate non-normal, chaotic distributions where standard technical analysis fails.
• USDX (US Dollar Index) Tracker (confirmation) — Provides macro-context; USD-denominated assets must align with or diverge from the Dollar Index for structural validity.
• Volume and Pivot Points Correlation with Full Control (volatility_filter) — Filters out entries that occur too far from historical high-volume support/resistance zones.

Known failure conditions

• VPCI values remain near zero during high-volatility price expansions, indicating volume-price decoupling.
• USDX exhibits a 0.8+ positive correlation with the target asset when it should be inverse (for EURUSD, etc).
• Jarque-Bera values remain consistently above 15.0, suggesting a regime of permanent 'Fat Tails' where mean-based triggers are invalid.
