Session-Structural Momentum Expansion Strategy

Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex (Majors), Equities, Crypto · Timeframes: M15, H1

Thesis

Strong market trends are most likely to persist when momentum is aligned across timeframes (MTF Heatmap) and emerges from a volatility 'squeeze' (Ichimoku Thickness). By timing entries with candlestick patterns during peak session liquidity and placing stops at structural extremes (PDH/PDL), a trader can capture high-probability momentum bursts while filtering out low-conviction noise.

Components

• ADX / Connectable [Azullian] (regime) — Filters out ranging markets by ensuring a minimum trend strength (ADX > 20) and confirming directional dominance via DI +/-.
• GoldenChart MACD (direction) — Provides the primary momentum direction; entry must align with the color-coded histogram to ensure momentum is not waning.
• Pattern Recognition Master (entry) — Provides the discrete execution trigger based on localized price action reversals or continuations (Engulfing, Hammers, etc.).
• Relative Strength Index (with timeframe) (exit) — Used for tactical profit taking when momentum reaches overbought/oversold extremes, signaling exhaustion.
• Session Levels (SMTbot) (risk) — Defines the structural risk boundaries; Previous Day High/Low act as the logical invalidation points for the trend hypothesis.
• MTF Heatmap Template (confirmation) — Ensures the local entry is backed by higher-timeframe trend alignment (H1 and D1), reducing noise from intraday fluctuations.
• Modern Ichimoku Cloud [GBB] (volatility_filter) — Filters entries based on ATR-normalized volatility; avoids 'flat' markets where cloud thickness is below the percentile threshold.

Known failure conditions

• Failure if RSI remains in extreme zones (OB/OS) for extended periods without price reversal.
• Strategy failure if Session Levels (PDH/PDL) are breached repeatedly within a narrow range (choppy regime).
• Invalidation if MTF Heatmap signals flip frequently, indicating a lack of higher-timeframe conviction.
