Low Volume Reversal Strategy

Hi,
Here is another strategy that uses 2 simple entry criteria and one filter as the core requirements. As volume is better at the start and end of the week it doesn’t trade mid-week or Sundays. It is an adaptation of a strategy from……Kevin Davey (well guessed). Adapted from a Daily time frame to a 15 minute. As you will see in the code, I have added in various snippets of code from and , thank you.
The strategy looks for a low volume bar compared to a look back period of 5 and a new lowest close over a look back period of 4 in order to go long. As it uses volume as an entry criteria I can only back test to June 2016.
Work in progress, but I wanted to share to see if it sparks any interest for new ideas on how to evolve it. Walkforward has proven well so fat. Am working on possible short entry and ways to reduce drawdown.
Thank you, hope you enjoy and welcome any feedback.

I think this might be the most promising of the KD codes you have posted. This is a fairly quick revision, could be more room for improvement, eg short.
I added MM, replaced the breakeven with a trail, disabled the “detect direction” (which didn’t seem to be helping), added % stop and target, re-opt the averages.
I always use minimum size for testing (0.2), so x50 to compare with your results.
thanks for sharing!

This is essentially the version 2 of Nonetheless (rif. 176142) with the max daily loss and split winning position (v.3.1).
