Why Cross-Timeframe FRAMA?
Most single-timeframe crossovers fire constantly — including straight into the teeth of a bigger opposing
trend. FRAMA (Fractal Adaptive Moving Average) already adapts its own speed to market roughness: it hugs price
tightly in strong trends and flattens out in choppy ranges. FrameCascade takes this one step further by
requiring the same FRAMA line on a higher timeframe (H4) to already be sloping in the trade’s direction —
a simple, mechanical way to avoid fighting the dominant trend.
alpha = exp(-4.6 × (D − 1)), D = fractal dimension of the lookback window, FRAMA = alpha·Price + (1−alpha)·FRAMA[prev]
Only when the H1 line is crossed and the H4 line agrees and the KST momentum line confirms
does FrameCascade open a position.
Entry Rules 入场条件
LONG Setup
- H1 close crosses above FRAMA(16) on the H1 chart
- H4 FRAMA(16) is higher than its previous H4 value (rising — resonance confirm)
- KST momentum line is above its 9-period signal line
- Enter long at H1 bar close
SHORT Setup
- H1 close crosses below FRAMA(16) on the H1 chart
- H4 FRAMA(16) is lower than its previous H4 value (falling — resonance confirm)
- KST momentum line is below its 9-period signal line
- Enter short at H1 bar close
Exit & Risk Management 出场条件
Fixed, volatility-adaptive risk plan
- Stop Loss: entry ∓ 1.8 × ATR(14)
- Take Profit: entry ± 3.2 × ATR(14) — reward:risk ≈ 1.78 : 1
- Position Sizing: risk exactly 1% of account balance per trade, lot size derived from stop distance
- Exposure: one position at a time, max 10 entries per day, no averaging, no martingale

1MEASURETrack the H1 adaptive line (FRAMA) against price on every new bar.
2CONFIRMCheck that the H4 FRAMA is sloping the same direction (cross-timeframe resonance).
3FILTERRequire the KST momentum line to be on the correct side of its signal line.
4ENTEROpen with 1% risk, SL at 1.8×ATR, TP at 3.2×ATR.
5MANAGEHold until SL/TP; max 10 entries/day, one position at a time.
