Wavelet-Gator USDX Convergence Hybrid

Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: FX (USD Pairs: EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, USDCAD) · Timeframes: H1, H4

Thesis

USD-denominated pairs trend when the broader Dollar Index breaks its moving average structure, but these trends only offer high-probability entries when price noise (decomposed via Wavelets) aligns with price velocity (REI) and the market cycle 'awakens' (Gator). By scaling risk inversely to MSLE (Mean Squared Logarithmic Error), we can capitalize on log-normal price expansions while reducing exposure during erratic volatility shocks.

Components

• Gator Oscillator (Standard) (regime) — Defines the market regime by identifying the 'Awakening' or 'Eating' phases, ensuring trades are only taken when the trend is actively expanding.
• Fisher-based Scalping Indicator (direction) — Provides the primary directional bias through a Fisher-transformed cyclical calculation, acting as a slow-moving momentum anchor.
• Range Expansion Index (REI) (entry) — Identifies precise entry points by measuring price velocity and filtering out noise in non-trending environments.
• Chandelier Exit Heiken Ashi Variant (exit) — Provides a volatility-adjusted trailing stop that accounts for Heiken Ashi price smoothing to reduce premature exits.
• Mean Squared Logarithmic Error (MSLE) (risk) — Used to scale position size and define the stop loss buffer; high MSLE indicates abnormal volatility/error, requiring reduced exposure.
• USDX (US Dollar Index) Tracker (confirmation) — Acts as a structural confirmation; for USD pairs, the underlying dollar strength/weakness must align with the local pair signal.
• Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) (volatility_filter) — Filters out high-frequency noise by ensuring the 'Detail' component (cycle) is expanding in the direction of the trade.

Known failure conditions

• USDX component fails to poll data for any of the 6 constituent pairs (EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF).
• Market enters a 'Sated' Gator regime (red bars appearing on histogram) for more than 5 consecutive periods.
• MSLE exceeds its 20-period moving average by 3 standard deviations, indicating a regime shift into chaotic volatility.
