Ultimate Intensity Fractal Breakout

Family: breakout · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities, Forex, Commodities · Timeframes: H1, H4, D1

Thesis

Institutional accumulation (III) precedes large volatility expansions. By filtering for these accumulation phases using zero-lag smoothing (USF) and high-timeframe trend/volume alignment (200-Day Background), we can enter on fractal-based structural breaks to capture the meat of a momentum move. The edge lies in the confluence of volume-based direction and structural timing.

Components

• Ehlers Ultimate Smoother Filter (USF) (regime) — Provides a zero-lag trend baseline; price must be on the correct side of the USF to ensure the local regime supports the trade.
• Intraday Intensity Index (III) (direction) — Detects institutional 'quiet' accumulation or distribution by analyzing where price closes within the daily range relative to volume.
• Trend Break Fractal (entry) — Uses market structure (Bill Williams fractals) to define the specific breakout trigger after trend confirmation.
• Chandelier Exit (Heiken Ashi) (exit) — Uses aggressive volatility-adjusted stops based on smoothed Heiken Ashi price action to lock in gains during momentum bursts.
• ATR Projection (risk) — Provides a mathematically consistent stop-loss distance based on recent volatility to normalize risk across assets.
• GHOST OrderFlow Dashboard — DerivEAPro v10 (confirmation) — Acts as the final momentum confluence filter, ensuring that the momentum angle (CompassMapping) aligns with the entry direction.
• 200-Day Trend Background (Smoothed Volume Gradient) (volatility_filter) — Filters out trades during low-volume 'dead' zones and ensures entries only occur when the HTF 200-period slope is significant.

Known failure conditions

• Strategy enters a 'sawtooth' equity curve during low-volatility regimes where III oscillates around zero.
• Failure of HTF slope to lead price, causing late entries into exhausted 200-period trends.
• Heiken Ashi Chandelier exits trigger prematurely during minor pullbacks in a strong trend due to aggressive 0.75 multiplier.
