The infility.org Multi-Temporal SMA Slope & Fractal Protocol - MSFP

Developed by: Infility.org (Anjan)

The Infility Strategy is a momentum-based trend-following system designed to capture high-probability moves using SMA slopes, price relations, and fractal-based trailing management. It utilizes a dual-timeframe approach: Higher Timeframe (HTF) for entry and Lower Timeframe (LTF) for trade management.

Technical Indicators & Setup

• 20 SMA: Short-term trend momentum.

• 200 SMA: Long-term trend direction.

• Williams Fractals (Default): Used for stop-loss placement and trailing.

• Average Directional Index (ADX - Default): Used to filter for sufficient volatility/strength.

• Chart Type: High-Low-Close (HLC) or HLC Line Chart.

🟢 Buy Trade Specifications (Long)

1. The HTF Entry Conditions

Before entering a buy trade, the following conditions must align on the Higher Timeframe:

• ADX Filter: Must be above 25 (indicates strong trend presence).

• Trend Alignment: The 20 SMA must be above the 200 SMA.

• Slope Confirmation: Both the 20 and 200 SMAs must be sloping upward.

  • Technical Definition: The last 3 SMA points must be increasing ($SMA_1 > SMA_2 > SMA_3$).

• Price Momentum: The current HLC (High, Low, and Close) must be higher than the previous two periods.

  • Technical Definition: $High_{0} > High_{-1} > High_{-2}$ (same applies to Low and Close).

2. Initial Stop Loss (SL)

• Locate the most recent Lower Fractal (the arrow pointing down below a candle).

• Ensure this fractal is below your entry price. If not, look back to the previous Lower Fractal.

• Place the SL 1–2 pips below the low of that fractal candle.

🔴 Sell Trade Specifications (Short)

1. The HTF Entry Conditions

For a sell trade, the conditions are the exact inverse of the buy setup:

• ADX Filter: Must be above 25.

• Trend Alignment: The 20 SMA must be below the 200 SMA.

• Slope Confirmation: Both the 20 and 200 SMAs must be sloping downward.

  • Technical Definition: The last 3 SMA points must be decreasing ($SMA_1 < SMA_2 < SMA_3$).

• Price Momentum: The current HLC (High, Low, and Close) must be lower than the previous two periods.

  • Technical Definition: $Low_{0} < Low_{-1} < Low_{-2}$ (same applies to High and Close).

2. Initial Stop Loss (SL)

• Locate the most recent Upper Fractal (the arrow pointing up above a candle).

• Ensure this fractal is above your entry price.

• Place the SL 1–2 pips above the high of that fractal candle.

🛠 Trade Management (Dual-Timeframe Trailing)

Once the trade is live on the HTF, switch immediately to the Lower Timeframe (LTF). In this timeframe, we use only Fractals to trail the stop loss.

For Buy Trades:

1. Monitor Upper Fractals: Watch for new "Up" fractals (bearish fractals forming above candles).

2. Record Highs: Mark the high of the most recent "Up" fractal as the "Entry High."

3. Update Highs: If a new "Up" fractal forms with a higher price than the recorded high, update the "Entry High."

4. Trail the Stop: Once a new high is confirmed, look for the most recent "Down" fractal (below the candle) that is also below this new high.

5. Move SL: Move your stop loss to 1 pip below that "Down" fractal.

For Sell Trades:

1. Monitor Lower Fractals: Watch for new "Down" fractals (bullish fractals forming below candles).

2. Record Lows: Mark the low of the most recent "Down" fractal as the "Entry Low."

3. Update Lows: If a new "Down" fractal forms with a lower price than the recorded low, update the "Entry Low."

4. Trail the Stop: Once a new low is confirmed, look for the most recent "Up" fractal (above the candle) that is also above this new low.

5. Move SL: Move your stop loss to 1 pip above that "Up" fractal.

Note to Traders: This strategy remains open until the price eventually hits your trailing stop loss. This ensures you stay in the trend as long as momentum persists. Always test on a demo account before applying to live markets.
