Volume News Spike (Event Detector)

Volume is the fuel of the market. Price cannot move significantly without volume. A sudden, massive spike in volume is almost always caused by News or Institutional Manipulation.

How it Works

The EA compares the current candle's tick volume to the average of the last 20 candles.

• Spike: If Volume is > 200% (2.0x) the average.
• Quiet: If Volume is < Average.

Formula

Current_Vol = Tick Volume of current H1 candle
Avg_Vol = Average Tick Volume of previous 20 H1 candles

Ratio = Current_Vol / Avg_Vol

Score Logic:
Ratio < 1.0  →  +1 Score (Quiet Bonus)
Ratio > 2.0  →  -5 Score (Spike Penalty)

Recommended Settings

• Spike Threshold: 2.0 (200%).
• Penalty: -5. This is a hard "Stop" signal.

Q&A

Q: Why -5 points? That seems harsh.
A: It is intentional. A 200% volume spike usually precedes a massive breakout. We want to force the Safety Score to "Danger" immediately to prevent opening trades at the peak of volatility.

Q: Does this work for Crypto?
A: Yes, but crypto is naturally more volatile. You may need to increase the threshold to 3.0 (300%) for assets like BTCUSD.
