Regex-ICT Liquidity Momentum Hybrid

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex, Indices · Timeframes: 15M, 1H, 4H

Thesis

Institutional liquidity is often clustered at psychological round numbers (Regex) and 4H Breaker levels (SNAP); combining these with trend-momentum (EMA) and intra-candle pressure (Footmap) provides a high-probability expansion entry.

Components

• String match invalid regex Test (regime) — Acts as a 'psychological level' filter by measuring regex match length on price strings ending in .00 or .50 to identify institutional round-number regimes.
• SNAP HTF_LTF Indicator (direction) — Identifies the structural bias using ICT-based breaker blocks and HTF liquidity pools.
• Triple Exponential Moving Average (EMA) (entry) — Provides a trend-alignment filter; entries only occur when MAs are stacked in the direction of the bias.
• ADX / Connectable [Azullian] (exit) — Monitors trend exhaustion; triggers exit when trend strength (ADX) falls below the 20 threshold.
• Chandelier Exit Heiken Ashi Variant (risk) — Provides a tight volatility-based stop-loss based on HA candle extremes.
• Footmap – Heat & Volume [v1] (confirmation) — Validates the entry by ensuring synthetic buy/sell delta aligns with the price movement extremity.
• TMA CG 2024 (Centered Moving Average) (volatility_filter) — Ensures entry is within statistical normality; avoids entering trades when price is overextended beyond the outer bands.

Known failure conditions

• Price consistently ignores 4H Breaker Blocks during high-impact news.
• ADX threshold fails to capture momentum shifts in low-volatility Asian sessions.
• Regex string matching fails to provide sufficient trade frequency due to overly restrictive pattern requirements.
