30-day view. 1 bar = 30 minutes. SBV(16) In our trading example, we applied the
following simple system which is based on our SBV indicator: Once the SBV
indicator has fallen below a negative signal level (the indicator will now show
red), we will enter a short position (if we are not already short); Once the SBV
indicator has advanced above a negative signal level (after having been below
that level), we will enter a long position (the indicator still shows red); Once
the SBV indicator has rallied above a positive signal level (the indicator will
now show green), we will enter a long position (if we are not already long);
Once the SBV indicator has fallen below a positive signal level (after having
been above that level), we will enter a short position (the indicator still
shows green); Additional Stop Loss Rule - If the SBV had dropped into negative
territory and has begun to rise without having hit the signal line, close the
short position when the SBV is back in positive territory, and stay in cash
until a new signal appears. Do the opposite for a long position: if the SBV had
moved into positive territory and has begun to decline without having hit the
positive signal line, close the long position when the SBV is back in negative
territory, and stay in cash until a new signal appears. Detailed system
description with explanation of used rules could be found in our " SBV Trading
System " tutorial. Table 1: Trades based on the 5-rule system. Time Motivation

relation to the prevailing market conditions at the time that the trading
examples were selected. In order to establish the optimal critical levels for
the SBV indicator, traders should consider the current market situation and
review the history of prior volume surges, including their magnitude (i.e., the
