Thesis

Market trends exhibit higher persistence when institutional session ranges are established and momentum is synchronized across recursive smoothing cycles. This strategy seeks to capture 'fresh' momentum (Aroon/ADX) while using the current day's structural session extremes as a proxy for institutional stop-liquidity.

Components

• Aroon (regime) — Identifies the birth of a new trend by measuring high/low decay, ensuring the strategy only operates in high-enthusiasm regimes.
• DEMA 200 & ADX Combined HUD (direction) — Filters for high-timeframe trend alignment and momentum strength (ADX > 20) to prevent trading against the primary flow.
• Recursive Moving Average Unlimited (entry) — Uses the crossover of a highly smoothed recursive average as the final trigger to enter during confirmed momentum pulses.
• Pivot Points (Classic) (exit) — Provides objective, non-repainting exit targets based on prior period institutional liquidity levels (R1/S1/R2/S2).
• Session Range (High/Low/Mid) (risk) — Uses the session's structural extremes (High/Low) to define hard stop-loss levels and the 'Middle' for breakeven adjustments.
• Moving Average Ribbon (chingc) (confirmation) — Requires full expansion (fan-out) of the short-term ribbon to confirm spatial momentum before entry.

Known failure conditions

• When ADX remains below 20 for extended periods while price oscillates around the DEMA 200.
• When the Recursive Moving Average produces 'churn' due to price hovering at the mean during low-volume sessions.
