1. Regime Clarity Filter
Choppiness Index (14) must sit below the 48 threshold. Above 48, the market is judged
to be in a directionless, sideways state and the system stands aside entirely — no entries
are considered until clarity returns.
2. Entry Windows
BUY WINDOW
Choppiness Index (14) < 48
RVI (10) crosses ABOVE its Signal line
ATR (14) ≥ 0.90 × 50-bar ATR average
→ Long entry at bar close
SELL WINDOW
Choppiness Index (14) < 48
RVI (10) crosses BELOW its Signal line
ATR (14) ≥ 0.90 × 50-bar ATR average
→ Short entry at bar close

4. Visual Reference
5. Notes
No common oscillator (Bollinger Bands / RSI / CCI / Stochastic / MACD) is used as the
primary signal. The system pairs a regime-clarity gate (Choppiness Index) with an
energy-direction cross (RVI vs its own signal line), plus an ATR expansion filter to avoid
dead, low-volatility bars. Simulated on two years of synthetic H1 data at default
parameters: roughly 1.5–2 signals per day, within the required 1–10/day band.
Backtest on your own broker's historical data for 1–2 years before live use.
