Thesis

Trends are structurally sound only when price breakouts (Three-Line Break) occur in an environment of high momentum (ADX/DEMA) and are validated by both volume-price relationships (VPCI) and the entry of new market participants (Open Interest). By filtering for 'Aggressive' positioning rather than 'Liquidation' (Rekt) events, the strategy avoids entering during the final stages of a trend squeeze.

Components

• Volume Price Confirmation Indicator (VPCI) (regime) — Acts as a regime filter to ensure that price action is backed by volume momentum, filtering out low-liquidity 'fakeout' moves.
• Three-Line Break (TLB) with MA (direction) — Defines the structural market direction by filtering price noise; the integrated MA serves as a dynamic trend anchor.
• DEMA 200 & ADX Combined HUD (entry) — Provides the specific execution trigger by requiring both long-term trend alignment (DEMA 200) and sufficient multi-timeframe momentum (ADX).
• ATR Heiken Ashi (exit) — Uses smoothed volatility data to set trailing stops that are less sensitive to standard OHLC wick-hunting.
• Open Interest Suite [Aggregated] - By Leviathan (risk) — Utilizes institutional positioning data to scale risk: identifies when moves are driven by sustainable new positioning vs. fragile liquidations (rekts).

Known failure conditions

• Protracted sideways price action where TLB frequently flips colors without price extension.
• Aggregated OI data feed failure or exchange API lag leading to stale positioning signals.
• Divergence where VPCI remains high during a price reversal (volume-backed reversal against the trend).
