Triple-ADX Structural Range Expansion Strategy

Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: FX, Equities, Indices · Timeframes: M15, M30, H1

Thesis

The hypothesis is that breakouts of the previous day's high or low are only statistically significant if accompanied by accelerating trend strength across multiple lookback periods (Triple ADX). By using a structural regime filter (Linefill Tracker) and a velocity-based exit (Momentum), the strategy captures the 'meat' of a trend extension while exiting before the inevitable mean-reversion, assuming that high-velocity moves are driven by institutional order flow that exceeds standard liquidity.

Components

• Linefill All Tracker (regime) — Used as a regime filter to ensure the market structure has enough defined 'objects' (historical liquidity zones/ranges) to justify a breakout trade.
• Easy Trend Visualizer (ETV) (direction) — Determines directional bias using triple ADX alignment to ensure the trend is both established and accelerating.
• Daily High Low (entry) — Provides the physical breakout trigger based on the breach of the previous day's extreme.
• Momentum (MOM) (exit) — Used to identify velocity exhaustion; trades are closed when the price-change velocity reverses relative to the entry direction.
• Average True Range (ATR) (risk) — Provides volatility-adjusted stop loss placement and position sizing to normalize risk across varying market environments.
• EA Conditions Display Template (confirmation) — Acts as the logical 'AND' gate, requiring both the Trend (ETV) and Structure (DHL) conditions to be visually and programmatically synchronized.

Known failure conditions

• Price remains in a permanent 'choppy' state where Triple ADX never aligns while price tests DHL levels.
• Expansion of ATR to levels where the 2x stop is wider than the average daily range.
• The 'fills' count from Linefill Tracker remains at zero, indicating a lack of managed market structure.
