VAMP: Volatility-Adjusted Momentum Pivot System
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex (Majors), Synthetic Indices (Boom/Crash), Indices (US30) · Timeframes: H1, H4, M15 (for Synthetic Indices)
Thesis
Market trends exhibit a 'breathe-in, breathe-out' cycle. This strategy hypothesizes that the most reliable entries occur when the macro momentum is accelerating (MACD Cloud) but local counter-trend pressure is exhausting (Bears Power) specifically at volatility-adjusted structural support levels (KOLA). By requiring high ATR, we ensure the price movement is statistically significant enough to cover the friction of the KOLA touch-rejection.
Components
- Indicator Metadata Sample (regime) — Serves as a data-integrity gatekeeper; ensures the expert only trades when history is synchronized and bar counts are consistent, preventing execution on stale data.
- MACD & OSMA Cloud Hybrid (direction) — Defines the primary trend bias using the 3x point-scaled OsMA color logic. Only Dark Green (Bullish) or Crimson (Bearish) states allow entries.
- GOM KOLA SIDO — Full Integration (entry) — Provides the execution trigger via touch-rejections of volatility-adjusted KOLA levels or Supertrend flips, ensuring entry occurs at structural price nodes.
- Connect MACD (Azullian) (exit) — Uses a weighted cross-filter for high-precision exits when momentum begins to cycle in the opposite direction, protecting unrealized gains.
- Chandelier Exit (risk) — Dynamic ATR-based trailing stop that adjusts based on the highest high of the trade, effectively managing the 'volatility-adjusted' risk of ruin.
- Bears Power (confirmation) — Acts as an exhaustion filter; for longs, it confirms selling pressure (Low - EMA) is diminishing within the context of a macro uptrend.
- Average True Range (ATR) (volatility_filter) — Filters out low-volatility 'noise' regimes where pivots and momentum indicators generate false signals due to spread-compressed price action.
Known failure conditions
- Prolonged sideways consolidation where ATR remains below the historical 20-period SMA.
- Frequent 'Spike' events in synthetic indices that exceed the Chandelier Exit's 3x multiplier threshold instantly.
- History synchronization failure (indicated by the Metadata Sample) during high-volatility news events.
