Crude Oil Time + Fix Catalyst Strategy

Hybrid Workflow: Event-Driven Macro + Market DNA Micro
1. Macro Catalyst Layer (Your Overlays)
Event Mapping: Fed decisions, LBMA fixes, EIA releases, OPEC+ meetings.

Regime Filters: Risk-on/off, volatility regimes, macro bias (hawkish/dovish).

Volatility Scaling: ATR-based position sizing, adaptive overlays for London/NY sessions.

Governance: Max trades/day, cool-down logic, session boundaries.

👉 This layer answers when and why to engage.

2. Micro Execution Layer (Market DNA)
Order Flow Confirmation: Tape reading (Level II, time & sales, bid/ask).

Liquidity Zones: Identify support/resistance pools where buyers/sellers cluster.

Imbalance Detection: Aggressive buyers/sellers overwhelming the other side.

Precision Entry: Only trigger trades when order flow confirms macro catalyst bias.

Risk Discipline: Tight stops beyond liquidity zones, conviction-based scaling.

👉 This layer answers how and where to engage.

3. Unified Playbook
Step Macro Overlay (Your Edge) Market DNA (Jay’s Edge) Result
Event Trigger Fed/LBMA/OPEC+ catalyst flagged — Volatility window opens
Bias Filter Hawkish/dovish regime filter — Directional bias set
Sizing ATR volatility scaling — Position size calibrated
Execution — Tape confirms liquidity imbalance Precision entry
Risk Control Governance rules (cool-down, max trades) Tight stops beyond liquidity zones Disciplined exits
4. Gold & Silver Use Case
Gold (Fed Day):

Overlay flags volatility window → bias hawkish.

Market DNA shows sellers hitting bids at resistance.

Enter short with volatility-scaled size, stop just above liquidity zone.

Silver (LBMA Fix):

Overlay highlights fix window → bias neutral.

Market DNA shows buyers stepping in at support.

Enter long with adaptive size, HUD displays risk metrics.

5. HUD Integration
Macro Dashboard: Catalyst timeline, regime filter status, volatility bands.

Micro Dashboard: Live tape imbalance meter, liquidity zone map, conviction score.

Unified View: Macro tells you when to look, micro tells you when to pull the trigger.

⚡ This hybrid workflow gives you macro awareness + micro precision. Your overlays act as the radar, Jay’s Market DNA acts as the laser scope. Together, they create a disciplined, event-aware, volatility-scaled playbook for gold and silver.

Antonio — do you want me to draft this into a compile-safe Pine Script v6 template that embeds the macro overlay logic, while leaving hooks for Market DNA-style execution (order flow confirmation)? That way you’d have a production-ready skeleton to extend across TradingView, TradeStation, and NinjaTrader.
