SAK-IAE Multi-Confluence Trend System
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities, FX, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1
Thesis
Market trends are most tradable when cyclical momentum (IIR filtered), multi-dimensional confluence (IAE), and price action triggers (UTBot) align. By using volume-weighted support/resistance (Volumatic) for risk instead of fixed percentages, we align our stop-losses with actual market liquidity barriers, theoretically improving the expectancy of trend-following entries.
Components
- Indicator Metadata Sample (regime) — Used as a data-integrity gate; ensures the environment has sufficient history (rates_total) for the complex calculations of the IAE and Volumatic indicators before execution.
- Swiss Army Knife Indicator (SAK) (direction) — Identifies the dominant cycle/trend direction using a BandPass filter. Trading only occurs when the cycle momentum (BP) is positive for longs and negative for shorts.
- UTBot Alerts (entry) — Provides the specific execution trigger based on price crossing an ATR-derived trailing stop, optimized for capturing trend transitions.
- TopTrend (BBands Stop) (exit) — Acts as the primary trailing exit mechanism, locking in profits by following Bollinger Band-based volatility boundaries.
- Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels [BigBeluga] (risk) — Defines the hard stop-loss placement and position size based on the width of volume-weighted support/resistance zones.
- IAE — Technical Confluence Score (confirmation) — A multi-layered filter that ensures multiple technical dimensions (momentum, volume, flow) agree with the entry signal before capital is committed.
Known failure conditions
- IAE Confluence Score fails to exceed 50 for more than 100 consecutive bars during a trending phase (indicates score dilution).
- Volumatic S/R levels become wider than 10% of price (indicates extreme volatility expansion where ATR-based entries fail).
- Swiss Army Knife BP output remains at zero for extended periods, suggesting a broken transfer function logic in the current symbol.
