Structural Momentum Identity Strategy
Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: Forex, Indices, Commodities · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1
Thesis
Market trends exhibit momentum persistence that can be isolated by filtering price through smoothed moving averages (RSIOMA) and volatility bands (SuperTrend). By anchoring risk to high-momentum supply/demand zones (Order Blocks), the strategy captures the meat of a trend while exiting at volatility-adjusted extremes (ATR). The 'UDT Identity' regime ensures the technical environment is stable enough for execution.
Components
- UDT Array Push Identity Test (regime) — Acts as a 'Data Integrity' regime filter; the strategy only executes if the platform successfully processes complex User Defined Types without runtime errors, ensuring computational stability.
- SuperTrend (direction) — Provides the primary directional bias (long vs. short) by filtering out minor price noise through its ATR-based trailing stop.
- ADX / Connectable [Azullian] (entry) — Triggers entries when DI+/- lines cross and ADX indicates rising directional strength (trend expansion).
- Average True Range (NNFX) (exit) — Sets dynamic profit targets based on recent volatility, scaling the reward potential to the market environment.
- Sonarlab - Order Blocks (risk) — Determines Stop Loss placement by identifying the most recent structural supply/demand zone where institutional interest is clustered.
- RSIOMA (RSI of Moving Average) (confirmation) — Filters entries by ensuring momentum is synchronized with the trend, reducing false signals from raw price volatility.
- Bollinger Bands (volatility_filter) — Ensures trades are only taken when price is not overextended and volatility is expanding from a non-squeeze state.
Known failure conditions
- Price persistently oscillates within the SuperTrend ATR band, causing rapid directional flips.
- Order Block zones are too distant, resulting in a Reward-to-Risk ratio < 1.0.
- ADX stays below 20 for extended periods, preventing any entry signals during low-volatility drifts.
