VWAP-CCI Momentum Grid Synergist

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: medium · Asset classes: Forex, Equities (Intraday) · Timeframes: M5, M15, H1

Thesis

Intraday price action is dominated by institutional mean-reversion around Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP). When price deviates from VWAP but shows momentum (CCI) and smoothed candle direction (MA-Candlesticks) back toward or away from the mean during volatility expansion (BB), a short-term trend is established that can be captured using volatility-adjusted risk.

Components

• Daily Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) (regime) — Establishes the intraday bias; price above VWAP indicates a bullish volume-weighted regime.
• CCI Arrows (direction) — Identifies momentum shifts via zero-line crosses to ensure trade is aligned with short-term velocity.
• Bollinger Bands (entry) — Filters for volatility expansion (squeeze) or mean-reversion exhaustion (lower/upper touch) to trigger entry.
• ATR SL Finder (exit) — Provides an initial trailing stop based on volatility to adapt to current ATR levels.
• Point-Based Price Grid (risk) — Used to define discrete price levels for risk-based lot sizing and target scaling.
• MA-Candlesticks (volatility_filter) — Acts as a smoothing filter; entries only occur if the MA-Close exceeds the MA-Open to confirm candle momentum.

Known failure conditions

• The strategy fails if price crosses the Daily VWAP more than 5 times in a single session (indicates chop).
• The strategy fails if ATR levels exceed the Point-Based Grid spacing, rendering the risk model mathematically inconsistent.
