VWAP ADR-B Momentum Hybrid

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: Equities, FX, Crypto · Timeframes: M5, M15, M30

Thesis

Market momentum is most persistent when price deviates from its intraday volume-weighted average (VWAP) in the same direction as both the volatility-adjusted trend (SuperTrend) and a statistical majority of recent bars (ADR_B). By entering only when ADX confirms trend strength, the strategy avoids the 'mean-reversion trap' where price oscillates around VWAP in low-volatility environments.

Components

• Advance/Decline Ratio (Bars) (regime) — Determines if the current intraday environment is showing a structural bias towards one direction based on bar count frequency.
• SuperTrend MT5 (FxGeek) (direction) — Ensures the strategy trades in alignment with the volatility-adjusted medium-term trend.
• Daily Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) (entry) — Used for price-to-value mean reversion or breakout entry; entry occurs on a cross of the VWAP.
• Connect MACD (Azullian) (exit) — Provides a modular momentum-based exit signal to capture the meat of the move before exhaustion.
• Supply & Demand Zones (NNFX) (risk) — Dynamic S/R levels used to set structural stop losses based on price action pivots.
• MACD (confirmation) — Filters entries by ensuring momentum is rising/falling in the direction of the trade to avoid VWAP flatlines.
• ADX / Connectable [Azullian] (volatility_filter) — Filters out low-volatility/dead-zone periods where VWAP crosses are essentially noise.

Known failure conditions

• ADX consistently stays below 20 while price oscillates around VWAP.
• Supply/Demand zones are too wide, resulting in Risk:Reward ratios < 1:1.
• SuperTrend whipsaws frequently in a low-ADR environment.
