4.4 Relative Volume (RVOL) Validator

RVOL ensures trades are only taken during periods of meaningful volume participation.

Formula

RVOL = V_t / SMAₙ(V)

Where:

  • V_t = Current period volume
  • SMAₙ(V) = Simple moving average of volume over n periods

Dynamic Threshold

A dynamic threshold is computed as:

T_RVOL = max( 0.8 , T_base^mr + 0.002L + 0.5 · ATR% )

Trade Validity Condition

RVOL ≥ T_RVOL
Volume Confirmation

This filter prevents entries during low-liquidity periods where slippage and execution quality degrade.
