Detects equilibrium pullback exhaustion and directional momentum turns in BankNifty intraday auctions via Differential Curvature ($\kappa$) and Vertex Turning Angle ($\Delta heta$) vector geometry.
Traditional scalar crossing rules fail during midday consolidation because oscillating indicator noise triggers false breakouts. Model 2 evaluates continuous multi-point curvature rather than single-point thresholds.
Requires the Pulse indicator to cross above +40 prior to 10:30 AM, ensuring an underlying structural trend exists before searching for pullbacks.
Evaluates bars between 10:30 AM and 01:30 PM. Locates a causal trough vertex residing inside the zero-reversion band: -20 ≤ Pulse ≤ +15.
Computes pre-trough descent slope ($pre\_dy < -0.15$) and post-trough ascent slope ($post\_dy > 0.10$). Total angular turn $\Delta heta$ must exceed 35.0°.
Analyzing maximum upside opportunity against adverse drawdown proves that the geometric hook delivers an extraordinarily favorable asymmetric distribution.
Median: +96.2 pts | Peak Run: +894.0 pts
Median: -60.4 pts | Worst: -212.0 pts
Evaluating trade returns across 30, 60, and 90 minutes post-entry shows the hook's acceleration cycle.
Turnaround consolidation phase. Price forms foundation.
Sharp momentum expansion. Median gain: +29.0 pts.
Trend extension into afternoon session.
To mathematically guarantee parameters weren't curve-fitted, the strategy was calibrated strictly on 2025 data and evaluated blind on unseen 2026 data.
Continuous performance across 369 trading sessions with standard trailing stop (+100 Trig, 75 Trail).
