Momentum Flux: Measures the acceleration of price momentum (second derivative of price). A high positive flux means the "spaceship" is blasting off, while a negative flux signals a crash. Threshold (e.g., 1.5) filters out weak moves. Volatility Gravity: Uses the Average True Range (ATR) normalized to price to detect when the market’s "gravitational field" is strong (high volatility = strong trend). Only trades when gravity exceeds the threshold, avoiding choppy markets. Cosmic Alignment: A creative twist: simulates a lunar cycle using a sine wave over a 28-bar period (adjustable). Trades align with "waxing" (rising) phases for longs and "waning" (falling) phases for shorts. This adds a rhythmic filter, mimicking how celestial events might influence human behavior or market psychology. Entry Rules: Long: Momentum accelerates upward (flux > 1.5), volatility is high (gravity > 0.8), and the lunar phase is waxing. Short: Momentum accelerates downward (flux < -1.5), volatility is high, and the lunar phase is waning. Exit Rules: Close when momentum reverses (flux crosses zero) or volatility drops too low (gravity weakens), indicating the trend is losing steam. Why It’s "Out of This World" Unconventional Metrics: Combining second-order momentum (flux) with normalized volatility is rare and catches explosive moves early. Celestial Twist: The lunar cycle filter is a wild card—while not literally tied to the moon, it introduces a cyclical timing mechanism that’s unique and could resonate with market rhythms. Adaptive: The strategy thrives in trending markets (high gravity) and avoids sideways traps, making it potentially more effective than standard oscillators.
