Wavelet-Squeeze RVOL Momentum
Family: hybrid · Regime: trending · Complexity: high · Asset classes: US Equities, Major Forex Pairs · Timeframes: 15M
Thesis
Significant intraday price moves are preceded by a period of low-volatility consolidation (The Squeeze). By filtering price through Wavelet decomposition to remove noise and requiring a Relative Volume (RVOL) spike, we identify 'true' momentum releases backed by institutional participation rather than retail noise. The Oracle Probes provide a structural entry point (VWMA) or a behavioral entry point (Candlesticks) to time the start of the expansion.
Components
- SuperTrend (regime) — Defines the structural trend regime; entries are only permitted in the direction of the SuperTrend polarity.
- EMA with Switch-Based Length Reassignment (direction) — Provides a high-sensitivity short-term directional filter to ensure immediate momentum is aligned.
- Oracle Probes 15M Intraday Suite (entry) — Acts as the execution trigger using VWMA crossovers and Morning/Evening Star patterns to capture mean-reversion within a trend.
- MultiKAMA (TyphooN) (exit) — The adaptive nature of KAMA provides a trailing exit that tightens during high-efficiency moves and widens during noise.
- RVOL (Relative Volume) (risk) — Validates breakouts by ensuring sufficient liquidity and institutional interest (Relative Volume > 1.0). Controls position sizing.
- NNFX Squeeze (Volatility Breakout) (confirmation) — Confirms that the market is transitioning from a low-volatility 'squeeze' to a high-volatility momentum release.
- Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) (volatility_filter) — Used to filter out high-frequency market noise (cycles) and ensure the underlying 'approximation' trend is moving in the trade direction.
Known failure conditions
- RVOL remains below 1.0 for extended periods despite price movement, suggesting lack of institutional backing.
- SuperTrend frequently flips within 5-10 bars, indicating a low-volatility ranging regime where this trend-following logic will fail.
