Session-Synchronized Triple ADX Breakout
Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: Forex, Indices · Timeframes: 15M, 1H
Thesis
Significant price movements often originate during session overlaps when liquidity peaks. By requiring a structural breakout (Flip Flop) to be confirmed by accelerating momentum across multiple lookback windows (ETV) and reinforced by volume (ADL), the strategy bets that price will continue in the direction of the breakout rather than oscillating back into the session range.
Components
- ATLS: Session Atlas (regime) — Restricts trading to the EU/NY overlap or specific liquid sessions to ensure sufficient volatility for trend formation.
- Flip Flop Indicator (direction) — Establishes the structural bias by identifying when price breaks the extreme points of recent bullish or bearish anchor bars.
- Easy Trend Visualizer (ETV) (entry) — Signals entry when three disparate ADX periods align, confirming that momentum is actively accelerating in the direction of the Flip Flop bias.
- ATR SL Finder (exit) — Sets dynamic price-based exits relative to current bar extremes to account for immediate volatility noise.
- Average True Range (NNFX Version) (risk) — Standardizes position sizing to ensure the same dollar amount is at risk regardless of current market volatility.
- Accumulation/Distribution Line (confirmation) — Confirms that the price breakout is backed by volume concentration (Close near high/low) rather than low-volume slippage.
Known failure conditions
- Extended periods where ADX stays below 20 (prolonged range).
- Price closes continuously within the Flip Flop anchor points (low volatility chop).
- ADL divergence appearing immediately upon ETV entry signal.
