The Idea
Markets spend most of their time negotiating around high-volume price levels. VolumeTide builds a rolling Volume Profile over the last 48 bars, locates the Point of Control (POC) — the heaviest-traded price — and the 70% Value Area around it. When price gets stretched outside the Value Area and the per-bar Delta (buy/sell pressure approximation) flips against the stretch, VolumeTide trades the rotation back to the POC, using it as a price magnet.
No Bollinger Bands, no RSI, no MACD — the edge comes purely from where volume actually traded and who is in control right now.
Signal Rules 信号判断
Long Setup
- Close below Value Area Low (VAL)
- Bar delta flips positive after ≥3 bars of negative cumulative delta
- POC at least 1.0 × ATR(14) away
- Enter long at bar close · Target = POC
Short Setup
- Close above Value Area High (VAH)
- Bar delta flips negative after ≥3 bars of positive cumulative delta
- POC at least 1.0 × ATR(14) away
- Enter short at bar close · Target = POC
Risk Management
- Stop Loss = 1.5 × ATR(14) from entry
- Take Profit = POC price
- Risk 1% of equity per trade · One position at a time
- Early exit if a bar closes across the POC
