Structural OI-Autocorrelation Hybrid

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Crypto (Perpetuals), Equities (with OI data) · Timeframes: 1H, 4H

Thesis

Institutional market participants leave identifiable footprints through Order Blocks and impulsive Fair Value Gaps. However, these zones are only valid if they attract 'Aggressive' new positions, which can be measured via spikes in Aggregated Open Interest. By using Autocorrelation (ACF) to ensure the market is in a non-random trending state and CCI for momentum timing, we can enter high-probability continuations while managing risk through structural Fractals.

Components

• Supported ta.dmi na lengths (regime) — Used as a 'System Integrity Lock'. Since the indicator is a diagnostic for invalid NA inputs, the strategy only executes if the environment returns the expected NA/Zero value, ensuring no runtime calculation errors exist.
• Order Block / FVG Detector (direction) — Identifies the structural 'POI' (Point of Interest). It establishes the directional bias based on institutional footprints.
• CCI Arrows (entry) — Provides the tactical execution trigger. The zero-cross confirms that momentum has shifted in the direction of the identified Order Block.
• IAE — Technical Confluence Score (exit) — Aggregates 10 layers of data to detect exhaustion. It acts as the primary exit engine by identifying when the confluence of trend, volume, and volatility begins to decay.
• FractalScanner (risk) — Provides objective, market-structure-based stop loss levels at recent swing highs/lows.
• Open Interest Suite [Aggregated] - By Leviathan (confirmation) — Confirms that the price movement is backed by new aggressive participants (Aggressive Longs/Shorts) rather than just short covering or low-liquidity spikes.
• Autocorrelation Function (ACF) (volatility_filter) — Filters out mean-reverting noise. Only allows entries when the time series exhibits positive serial correlation (trend persistence).

Known failure conditions

• Open Interest thresholds remain stagnant despite high price volatility, indicating lack of institutional participation.
• CCI zero-crosses occur frequently with ACF < 0, leading to a 'death by a thousand whipsaws' in choppy regimes.
• IAE confluence score fails to reach exhaustion levels due to 'slow bleed' price action.
