VWAP-TRIX Node Slicer
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: Equities, Forex, Crypto · Timeframes: H1, H4
Thesis
Market trends are most sustainable when price breaks out of 'High Volume Nodes' (fair value) and maintains momentum (TRIX) while returning to institutional mean price (VWAP). By entering only when price 'tests' the VWAP without overextending volatility (Bollinger Bands), we capture the highest probability continuation moves. Risk is structurally anchored to previous engulfing reversals (Roshaneforde Pivots), reflecting points where order flow previously shifted.
Components
- Volume by Level Map (regime) — Defines the 'Value Area' regime; trades are only taken outside high-volume nodes to avoid sideways churn in fair-value zones.
- FakeCandle (direction) — Acts as the primary directional bias filter based on smoothed price action.
- VWAP + EMA Cross Pullback (entry) — Identifies high-probability entries where short-term price reverts to institutional value (VWAP) within a trending EMA structure.
- Auto Fibonacci (exit) — Sets objective profit targets based on historical swing retracements.
- Roshaneforde Pivot Levels (risk) — Provides non-mathematical, pattern-based structural support/resistance for stop placement.
- TRIX (confirmation) — Filters out noise by ensuring momentum is sufficiently strong to support the trend post-pullback.
- Bollinger bands / Connectable [Azullian] (volatility_filter) — Prevents entering at exhaustion points (riding the bands) by ensuring price is within a normal volatility envelope.
Known failure conditions
- Volume by Level Map develops a uniform distribution (no clear nodes), indicating a lack of institutional interest.
- Price repeatedly crosses the Roshaneforde Pivot Levels without trend continuation, suggesting structural breakdown.
