Synchronized BBForce KNN Momentum
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities, Forex, Crypto · Timeframes: 15m, 30m, 1H
Thesis
Market 'Force' is most sustainable when the entire volatility envelope (Upper, Lower, and Basis bands) moves in synchronization with volume-weighted price clusters. By identifying these rare alignments using KNN classification and confirming with the second derivative of MACD momentum, the strategy captures high-probability trend legs. The Annualized ROC/HV ratio ensures that capital is only aggressively deployed when price movement is efficient relative to its volatility, avoiding 'noisy' breakouts.
Components
- BBForce / Bollinger Bands Force (regime) — Establishes a strict trend regime where the basis, upper, and lower bands must move in unison to confirm a directional 'force' rather than just a volatility expansion.
- Unsupported named const comparison ternary negative history (direction) — Functions as a theoretical 'perfect' direction filter using look-ahead data (close[-1]) to test the upper bounds of the entry signal's validity.
- Volume SuperTrend AI (Expo) (entry) — Uses KNN-weighted VWMA to identify entry points where volume-weighted momentum and historical price-proximity clusters align.
- Trepidity Opening Range with Extensions (exit) — Provides objective, session-specific take-profit targets based on the initial volatility expansion of the trading day.
- Annualized ROC / HV Ratios (risk) — Dynamic risk adjustment based on the efficiency of price movement (Return per unit of Volatility), scaling position size by performance quality.
- Moving Average Convergence/Divergence Oscillation (MACDO) (confirmation) — Confirms the entry by ensuring the momentum of the MACD histogram itself is accelerating in the trade direction.
Known failure conditions
- MACDO fluctuates around zero without trend, indicating a noise-heavy market.
- Price consistently fails to reach Extension_1 of the Opening Range, suggesting low-volatility compression.
- The BBForce regime flips frequently (whipsaw), indicating a range-bound market where 'Force' is absent.
