Triple-ADX Momentum Cluster Trader
Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: XAU/USD, FX Major Pairs · Timeframes: M15, H1
Thesis
Market inertia is most reliable when multiple time-horizon momentum oscillators (ADX) align with price-volatility breakouts. This strategy bets that a Stochastic 'overbought' signal in a high-ADX environment represents a momentum cluster rather than a reversal, allowing for high-probability scalping entries into an established macro-trend.
Components
- Easy Trend Visualizer (ETV) (regime) — Acts as a high-conviction regime filter; trades are only permitted when triple-period ADX signals synchronized momentum acceleration.
- SuperTrend (direction) — Provides the primary directional bias and a secondary trailing support/resistance level.
- Restu Kaioh Scalping Indicator (entry) — Identifies momentum 'clusters' where price is pushing into extreme zones within an established trend (buying strength).
- QQE (Qualitative Quantitative Estimation) (exit) — Detects momentum exhaustion via RSI-ATR trailing bands to exit before a full trend reversal.
- ATR SL Finder (risk) — Sets dynamic, volatility-adjusted stop losses based on recent price range.
- Bears Power (confirmation) — Confirms that selling pressure is receding (for longs) or increasing (for shorts) relative to the EMA.
- Unsupported Array Percentile Linear Interpolation Box (volatility_filter) — Intended to filter for specific market structure density, though limited by implementation constraints.
Known failure conditions
- ADX triple-alignment fails to occur for extended periods, leading to no trades in slow trends.
- Restu Kaioh returns persistent 0 values due to iStochastic handle errors in MQL5.
- QQE trailing bands tighten too aggressively in low-volatility environments, causing premature exits.
