Thesis

Major currency trends are preceded by a divergence in basket relative strength and a breakout from local price ranges. By filtering these breakouts with a noise-reduced momentum oscillator (Corrected RSX) and ensuring alignment with the short-term HMA trend, we can isolate high-probability trend pulses. The edge exists because the market often consolidates (Boxline) before a shift in fundamental currency demand (Strength Template) forces a directional move.

Components

• Currency Strength Template (regime) — Used as the regime filter to ensure we only trade currencies that are currently exhibiting significant aggregate relative strength or weakness.
• Corrected RSX (direction) — Provides the primary trend direction by filtering noise through its corrected MA layer, identifying the 'real' momentum.
• Stochastic Oscillator (entry) — Identifies the specific entry trigger via a momentum 'snap-back' or cross within the established trend.
• Stochastic Oscillator (exit) — A faster stochastic version used to signal exit when short-term momentum is exhausted.
• ATR SL Finder (risk) — Provides a volatility-adjusted cushion for stop losses, accounting for current market noise.
• Hull Moving Average (HMA) (confirmation) — Acting as a confirmation filter; price must be on the correct side of the HMA to ensure the short-term trend aligns with the regime.
• Boxline (Dynamic Range Breakout) (volatility_filter) — Filters out low-volatility 'inside' sessions; we only trade when the price has broken the previous structural range.

Known failure conditions

• Prolonged periods of currency equilibrium where Relative Strength values oscillate around the zero-line.
• A series of whipsaws in the Boxline indicator where breakouts are immediately followed by re-entries into the box.
• Corrected RSX flattening at the 50-level for dynamic periods.
