True Strength VWAP Reversion system

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex (Major Pairs) · Timeframes: H1, M15

Thesis

The hypothesis is that persistent currency strength trends are driven by macro-economic flows, which can be identified by the FXTSI. Within these trends, institutional players use VWAP as a fair-value benchmark. An edge exists by entering near VWAP when volume (OBV) and volatility (Frankenstein) confirm the resumption of the macro trend after a micro-pullback, using MAPE to scale risk to current market 'error' or noise.

Components

• Forex True Strength Index (FXTSI) (regime) — Identifies currency strength divergence to ensure we are trading the strongest currency against the weakest in the 28-pair basket.
• HiLo Activator (Pandini Version) (direction) — Provides the core trend bias based on Gann levels to filter direction.
• VWAP (entry) — Used for entry precision; entries occur on mean-reversion toward institutional fair value during an established trend.
• Momentum Oscillator (exit) — Exits are triggered when price momentum significantly decelerates or reverses.
• Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) (risk) — Quantifies recent price deviation (error) from a model to determine volatility-adjusted stop loss distance.
• On-Balance Volume (OBV) (confirmation) — Ensures that the price movement is sustained by cumulative volume flows.
• Frankenstein Ultimate Pro - ATM Logic (volatility_filter) — Acts as a volatility and momentum gatekeeper using Zero-Lag TEMA and ATR-based thresholds.

Known failure conditions

• High correlation environments where FXTSI rankings collapse to near-zero values across all majors.
• Low-liquidity periods (e.g., Asian session) where VWAP anchors are less meaningful.
• Extended periods where MAPE remains below 0.05%, suggesting insufficient movement to cover spreads.
