Structural Volatility Trend-Momentum Hybrid

Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: FX, Indices, Commodities · Timeframes: M15, H1, H4

Thesis

Trend persistence is most likely when dynamic volatility-adjusted support (SuperTrend) aligns with price-action imbalances (FVGs). By layering momentum growth (MACD) and filtering for exogenous shocks (News), we capture the 'meat' of the move while exiting at momentum exhaustion points (Stochastic). The edge lies in the exclusion of high-noise news periods and the requirement of structural confirmation (FVG) before entering a trend.

Components

• Switch Timeframes Keys (regime) — Used to define the 'Regime' by validating multi-timeframe alignment (HTF trend vs LTF entry context) via rapid manual verification or synchronized chart switching.
• SuperTrend MT5 (FxGeek) (direction) — Provides the primary directional bias; filtered trade direction must match the SuperTrend orientation.
• MACD (entry) — Triggers the entry through histogram momentum recovery or signal crosses, ensuring the entry occurs when momentum is resuming after a pullback.
• Stochastic Oscillator (exit) — Acts as an exit trigger when momentum reaches extreme overbought/oversold levels, signaling potential exhaustion.
• News Indicator NMNNFX (risk) — Used for risk mitigation by preventing entries near high-impact events and enforcing flat positions during high-volatility news windows.
• Fair Value Gap (FVG) Indicator (confirmation) — Filters entries to ensure price has cleared a liquidity imbalance (mitigation), providing structural 'value' confirmation to the momentum signal.

Known failure conditions

• Prolonged periods of High Impact News clusters causing the strategy to never enter trades.
• SuperTrend multiplier (3.0) being too wide for lower timeframe mean-reversion, leading to entries at the top of an exhausted move.
• Stochastic 'hanging' in extreme zones during parabolic trends, causing premature exits.
