Triple-Confluence Session Breakout
Family: trend_following · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX, Indices, Equities · Timeframes: M5, M15
Thesis
Intraday price expansion is most reliable when macro volatility (SuperTrend) aligns with intermediate momentum (HiLo) and structural breakouts (Best Volume/Fractals) during peak session liquidity. By using Daily High/Low levels as stop-loss anchors, the strategy bets that institutional support/resistance from the previous day will hold while the intraday trend reaches new local extremes (Donchian breakout). The edge lies in the filtering of noise through triple-trend alignment.
Components
- SuperTrend (regime) — Acts as the primary macro-regime filter to ensure trades are only taken in the direction of the dominant volatility-adjusted trend.
- HiLo Activator (Pandini Version) (direction) — Provides intermediate trend direction confirmation, filtering out minor SuperTrend fluctuations by requiring moving average alignment.
- Best Volume Trend Expert (entry) — Serves as the execution trigger, requiring a confluence of MACD momentum, fractal structure, and specific session timing.
- Donchian Channels (exit) — Used as a trailing exit mechanism based on local price extremes (N-period low/high) to capture trend extensions.
- Daily High Low MTF (risk) — Provides institutional reference levels (Previous Day High/Low) for hard stop-loss placement and position sizing.
Known failure conditions
- Consistent failure of price to reach the 1:1 Reward-to-Risk ratio before hitting the Donchian exit.
- High correlation between SuperTrend and HiLo Activator leads to identical signals, removing the benefit of the intermediate filter.
- Market regime shifts to prolonged low-volatility 'sawtooth' patterns where ATR-based levels are constantly breached.
