Strength-Trend Grid-Exit Hybrid
Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex (Majors) · Timeframes: H1, H4
Thesis
Currency pairs trend most reliably when there is a significant divergence in the strength of individual currencies (Currency Strength), confirmed by multi-indicator momentum (GFRMa/RSIOMA) and supported by institutional order flow (Supply & Demand zones). By exiting at psychological levels (Grid Points), the strategy captures the 'meat' of the move while avoiding reversals at round numbers.
Components
- For in string test fixture (regime) — Acts as a hard-coded toggle; only 'high-conviction' strings (score 100) allow strategy execution, simulating a regime-filter requirement.
- Currency Strength Template (direction) — Ensures we are buying the strongest currency against the weakest to capitalize on currency-pair divergence.
- RSIOMA (RSI of Moving Average) (entry) — Provides a smoothed momentum entry signal that filters out the noise of standard RSI, looking for trend-following crossovers.
- Grid Points Utility (exit) — Provides deterministic, psychology-based exit targets (Round Numbers) which often act as magnet/reversal points in FX.
- Supply & Demand Zones (NNFX) (risk) — Uses structural pivots to place Stop Losses behind 'institutional' protection zones rather than arbitrary pip amounts.
- GFRMa Pivot HTF3 Dashboard (confirmation) — Confirms multi-indicator agreement (RSI, CCI, etc.) to ensure the momentum is supported across different oscillator types.
- Bollinger Bands (volatility_filter) — Ensures the trade is taken within a volatility expansion (above midline) but avoids buying into exhausted extremes (at upper band).
Known failure conditions
- Currency strength rankings frequently invert within <12 bars, indicating a ranging environment.
- RSIOMA signals occur exclusively outside of Bollinger Band boundaries, indicating exhaustion rather than trend.
- Supply/Demand zones are too wide (>100 pips), making the Risk/Reward ratio inferior to 1:1 against the Grid Points.
