Structural Impulse Momentum System (SIMS)

Family: pullback · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: FX, Indices, Crypto · Timeframes: H1 house, M15 entry

Thesis

The strategy hypothesizes that trends persist due to institutional accumulation, but price movement is non-linear, retracing to 'Fair Value Gaps' or 'Order Blocks' within existing Supply/Demand zones. By using a fast Stochastic to time the exit from these zones and a news filter to avoid exogenous volatility, the system captures the resumption of the trend with high precision.

Components

• Simple Moving Average (SMA) (regime) — Establishes the macro-regime to ensure all trades align with the long-term institutional trend, filtering out counter-trend noise.
• Supply & Demand Zones (NNFX) (direction) — Identifies institutional liquidity pools where price is likely to find support or resistance based on previous impulsive departures.
• Stochastic Oscillator (Stoch) (entry) — A highly sensitive momentum trigger used to identify the exact point of mean-reversion exhaustion within a pullback.
• Laguerre RSI (exit) — Provides a smoother, time-warped exit signal that captures the meat of a trend move while avoiding premature exits from standard RSI noise.
• AlgoMaster News Indicator (NNFX-style) (risk) — Mandatory risk filter to prevent entering trades during high-volatility events that invalidate technical structure.
• Order Block / FVG Detector (confirmation) — Acts as the confirmation signal, proving that institutional 'smart money' has stepped into the S/D zone with impulsive momentum.

Known failure conditions

• Price remains 'pinned' against the SMA for extended periods (low volatility consolidation).
• S/D zones are frequently violated without retracement, indicating a regime shift from ranging/pullback to parabolic.
• Economic news cycles become so dense that the AlgoMaster filter prevents all trade entries for >5 days.
