Session Momentum Structural Hybrid

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: Equities, FX · Timeframes: M5, M15, H1

Thesis

Market momentum is most predictive when price crosses its mean during high-liquidity sessions (0930-1600). By entering on CCI zero-crosses and using structural engulfing-based pivots for risk, we can exploit intraday trends with a stop-loss anchored to recent price-action reversals. The edge exists because institutional participants tend to drive price direction after the session open, and these moves often respect structural floors created by immediate prior reversals.

Components

• Calendar Session Utility (regime) — Restricts trading to peak liquidity hours where momentum signals are less likely to be noise and more likely to represent institutional flow.
• Candles Overlay Template (direction) — Acts as a visual confirmation layer, ensuring the programmatically identified trend is visually distinct for manual oversight or UI consistency.
• CCI Arrows (entry) — Identifies shifts in price momentum relative to its mean, signaling potential trend acceleration as it crosses the zero-line.
• SuperTrend (exit) — Provides a dynamic trailing exit that accounts for volatility, ensuring profits are locked in during trend exhaustion.
• Roshaneforde Pivot Levels (risk) — Uses structural reversal points (engulfing-based pivots) to define hard stop-loss levels and calculate position sizing based on local market structure.

Known failure conditions

• CCI zero-line crosses occur with high frequency (whipsaw) while price remains within a tight range of the SuperTrend.
• The Roshaneforde Pivot Levels are frequently breached immediately after formation, indicating a lack of structural respect in the current asset.
• Daily session volume is significantly below the 30-day average, rendering the Calendar Session filter ineffective.
