Visual Grid Momentum Scalper

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: XAU/USD, FX Major Pairs · Timeframes: M15, H1

Thesis

The strategy hypothesizes that price structure is relative to visual perception (represented by the dynamic grid); entries at these visual 'shelves' during periods of trend momentum—when timing is confirmed by stochastic exhaustion—capture high-probability micro-reversals before the primary trend resumes.

Components

• Grid Utility (Rosasurfer Framework) (regime) — Defines market structure by identifying 'significant' price intervals based on visual chart density; acts as a proxy for psychological round numbers and structural tiers.
• Momentum (Example) (direction) — Filters for trade direction by ensuring that entries are only taken when the price rate of change is positive (for longs) or negative (for shorts).
• Restu Kaioh Scalping Indicator (entry) — Identifies micro-reversals (oversold/overbought) within the established momentum trend.
• SuperTrend (exit) — Provides a volatility-adjusted trailing stop and a clear trend-invalidation signal to exit trades when the momentum shifts against the position.
• Average True Range (NNFX) (risk) — Standardizes risk by setting stop-loss distances and position sizes relative to the current market volatility (ATR).

Known failure conditions

• Market volatility drops below the GridSize threshold, causing the grid to collapse into insignificant noise.
• Price action becomes highly mean-reverting at the SuperTrend flip points, leading to a 'death by a thousand cuts' scenario.
• High-impact news events cause price gaps that bypass ATR-based stop-loss levels.
