Hi,

I tried to make a strategy based on Volatility Scalper Indicator of Nicolas. As a reminder, this indicator detects the high volatility of market places. It’s the reflect when the market is making big move on the same bar.

This strategy is based on this indicator.

• When the value of the upside volume is considered as good, value > treshold and close > long MM, ->  buy position is taken.
• When the value of the downside volume is considered as good, value > treshold and close < long MM, ->  sell position is taken.
• Stop according to traling stop
• time 1530 – 2200, everyday
• option / reversal position size (possibility to activate or not)
• option for buy, sell or both

all suggestions are open…

• maybe specify more precise time ranges according to the volatility of DJI, same thing for different days… ?
• others ?
• …
• others.. ?
