ALTERNATIVE QUANTITATIVE FRAMEWORK • DYNAMIC MARKET DATA DRIVEN

FractalNova Protocol

An alternative momentum-aligned participation framework combining fractal breaks, Alligator trend structure, and multi-oscillator confirmation.

Fully coded for MT4 & MT5
Risk-aware position sizing
WHY THIS FRAMEWORK

A genuinely alternative approach to market participation

Traditional moving average crossovers and RSI overbought/oversold signals are widely known. FractalNova leverages Bill Williams' chaos-inspired tools in a disciplined, rules-based manner that remains underutilized by most retail participants.

Multi-Layer Confirmation

Requires simultaneous alignment of trend structure (Alligator), momentum (AO), acceleration (AC), and price action (Fractal break). Reduces false signals significantly.

Built-in Risk Discipline

Every participation opportunity is sized to risk exactly 1% of account equity. Dynamic ATR-based stops adapt to current volatility instead of fixed pip distances.

Adaptive Management

Optional ATR trailing stop moves protection in the direction of the move, allowing larger harvests while automatically tightening risk as momentum develops.

DETAILED RULES

Core Logic & Participation Conditions

LONG PARTICIPATION
1
Alligator Trend Alignment
Lips (5,3) > Teeth (8,5) > Jaw (13,8) on the closed bar. All three lines sloping upward preferred.
2
Awesome Oscillator Confirmation
AO(5,34) > 0 and AO(current) > AO(previous bar). Histogram rising above zero line.
3
Acceleration Positive
AC > 0 on the closed bar (momentum is accelerating in the bullish direction).
4
Bullish Fractal Break
Price closes above the most recent confirmed bullish fractal high (5-bar formation).
SHORT PARTICIPATION
1
Alligator Trend Alignment
Lips < Teeth < Jaw. All three lines sloping downward preferred.
2
Awesome Oscillator Confirmation
AO < 0 and AO(current) < AO(previous). Histogram falling below zero.
3
Acceleration Negative
AC < 0 (momentum accelerating to the downside).
4
Bearish Fractal Break
Price closes below the most recent confirmed bearish fractal low.

Risk Management & Exit Rules

Initial Stop Loss

ATR(14) × 1.5 below entry price for long positions (above for shorts). Adapts automatically to current market volatility.

Take Profit Target

Fixed 2:1 Reward-to-Risk ratio. 50% position can be closed at 1R with the remainder trailed using ATR multiplier.

Position Management

Only one position direction at a time. Opposite signal automatically closes existing position. Optional ATR trailing stop available.
