Regime-Box Exhaustion Hybrid
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities, Forex, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1
Thesis
Market trends are most sustainable when they occur without institutional distribution (D-Days) and are initiated by clear price-action reversals (Candlestick Patterns). By entering only when the volatility regime (SuperTrend) aligns with structural consolidation breakouts (Boxline), the strategy captures high-momentum moves while using ATR-based trailing stops (Chandelier) to maximize trend extraction. The core edge lies in avoiding retail traps (Climaxes) and institutional selling phases.
Components
- SuperTrend (regime) — Defines the primary trend regime via ATR-adjusted volatility thresholds, ensuring trades align with the dominant momentum.
- Combined Candle Counter (CCC) Dev (direction) — Acts as a filter to avoid entries during institutional distribution (D-Days) or retail exhaustion (Climaxes).
- Pattern Recognition Master (entry) — Provides high-fidelity entry triggers based on price-action geometry within the established trend.
- Chandelier Exit (exit) — Uses a dynamic trailing stop based on volatility to capture trend extension while protecting profits during sharp reversals.
- Boxline (Range Breakout) (risk) — Identifies local consolidation boundaries to provide structural logic for stop-loss placement.
Known failure conditions
- SuperTrend flipping frequently (choppy market) leading to consecutive stop-outs.
- Institutional distribution (D-Days) occurring immediately after entry, suggesting the trend is failing.
- Price remains within a single Boxline for extended periods, neutralizing the volatility-based exit logic.
