Equivolume Bars Strategy

Strategy based on volume spikes relative to the sum of volumes over a lookback period.

Logic

  • Calculate ratio of current volume to the previous sum of volumes.
  • Go long when ratio exceeds threshold and candle is bullish.
  • Go short when ratio exceeds threshold and candle is bearish.
  • Close position when ratio drops below threshold or candle reverses.

Parameters

  • Lookback – number of bars for volume sum.
  • Volume Threshold – ratio threshold for high volume.
  • Candle Type – type of candles to use.
