Vol-Constrained Momentum Pulse Hybrid
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Forex, Equities, Indices · Timeframes: H1, H4
Thesis
Market momentum pulses are most reliable when they occur within 'normal' volatility bands (measured by Grid Bot) and are confirmed by both trend structure (HiLo) and secondary momentum oscillators (TSI). The edge lies in filtering out 'exhaustion' moves (RSI > 70) and 'panic' volatility (Grid Bot spikes).
Components
- RSI Area (Histogram) (regime) — Establishes the overbought/oversold regime to prevent buying into exhausted bullishness or selling into oversold bottoms.
- Candles Overlay Template (direction) — Provides the primary structural direction; candles are colored by a custom logic (Long if Close > Open and C > Median) to identify strong body candles.
- CCI Arrows (entry) — Acts as the momentum trigger; crosses of the zero-line indicate the acceleration phase of a price move.
- HiLo_04 (Gann HiLo Activator) (exit) — Determines the trailing exit by tracking the dynamic support/resistance levels of the current swing.
- iExposure (risk) — Manages risk by ensuring net exposure per symbol does not exceed limits and provides the calculation for weighted average entry.
- TSI Convergence Divergence (TSI_CD) (confirmation) — Confirms the momentum shift by requiring the TSI_CD histogram to be expanding in the direction of the trade (rising for longs).
- Grid Bot [Grid range plugin] Two Moving Avarages [psyll] (volatility_filter) — Filters for volatility; trades are only allowed if price is within the 'Grid High' and 'Grid Low' boundaries, avoiding entries during extreme volatility spikes (blow-offs).
Known failure conditions
- Price remains consistently outside the Grid Bot range for >50 bars, indicating a regime shift the range cannot adapt to.
- TSI_CD alternates colors on every bar for >10 bars, rendering confirmation signals useless.
- The HiLo Activator flip occurs instantly after CCI entry, indicating high-frequency noise beyond the strategy's lag tolerance.
