Volatility-Adjusted Finite Volume Elements for Directional Signals

Summary

This strategy adapts the Finite Volume Elements indicator by comparing a money-flow measure with a threshold derived from intraday and interday volatility variability. It computes a flow value from changes in price medians, then assigns positive, negative, or neutral states depending on whether that value exceeds the volatility-scaled cutoff. Positive and negative states determine long and short positions, with an optional setting to reverse the direction. The listed settings include a 22-sample volatility calculation and a 50-period volume average.

The document describes the indicator’s rationale and gives BTC-USDT futures backtest settings for a stated historical period, but reports no performance results. Its claims of improved accuracy and stability are not backed by comparative evidence in the text. The method depends on both volume and volatility inputs, and the document notes that disagreements, parameter selection, and differences among instruments can affect signals. Combining other indicators or tuning parameters by market is suggested, but not demonstrated.

Key ideas

• The method modifies FVE by setting signal thresholds using intraday and interday volatility variability.
• A price-median flow measure above or below the threshold sets a directional state.
• The strategy maps positive and negative states to long and short positions, with optional signal reversal.
• The document provides backtest settings but no measured performance or comparative results.
• Indicator disagreements and parameter choices may change the signals across markets.
