Net Volume Oscillator Trend Signals with Moving Average Crossovers

Summary

This strategy derives a net volume measure from each bar’s close within its high-low range, then smooths the normalized result with a selectable weighted, exponential, simple, or Hull moving average. It compares that oscillator with an EMA overlay: being above the overlay supports a long position, while being below supports a short position. The described settings include a 21-period smoothing length, a 9-period overlay, and percentage-based stop-loss and take-profit parameters. A one-period rate of change colors the histogram to show whether oscillator movement is strengthening or weakening.

The document gives daily SOL/USDT backtest settings over roughly a year, but no performance statistics or results. Although its prose describes crossover signals, the source enters based on the oscillator’s relative position to the overlay, with exits on the opposite condition. Moving average lag, choppy-market signals, parameter sensitivity, and reliance on technical data are cited limitations. Suggested extensions include volatility-adaptive stops, position sizing, and additional filters; these are proposals, not tested findings.

Key ideas

• The oscillator weights volume using the close’s location within each bar’s price range and normalizes net volume by total volume.
• Four moving average types can smooth the oscillator before comparison with an EMA overlay.
• The source enters long above the overlay and short below it, then closes positions when that relationship reverses.
• Percentage-based stop-loss and take-profit orders are configurable, and the histogram uses oscillator rate of change for coloring.
• Published daily SOL/USDT backtest settings contain no reported performance results, so they do not establish strategy profitability.
