BUY: if a stock has 50% higher than normal volume AND its up 1% on the day. Buy at the open the next morning (we will have triggers every day in System Trades of the Day and in the Unusual Volume list on Today's Lists).

SELL: if the stock is up 2 days in a row, sell at the open the next day. Note that you could own the stock then for only one day.

To the left are some sample stocks that have worked well in the system.

Results:

Since 1997 there's been 8821 occurrences on the Nasdaq 100 stocks. 5771 successes for a 65% success rate. Average return of 1.1% per trade. Average holding period of 3.98 days.

Code (using Wealth-Lab, click on the Fidelity ads to learn more about WL. I'm not trying to shill the product but I use it for all of these systems):

{$I 'Unadjust Splits'}
var hSMA, hSMAPct, UnadjPriceSer: integer;
var Bar, p: integer;
hSMA := SMASeries( #Volume, 20 );
hSMAPct := MultiplySeriesValue( hSMA, 1 + (20/100) );
UnadjPriceSer := UnAdjustedSplitSeries( #Close );
PlotSeriesLabel( hSMA, 1, #Teal, #Thick, 'SMA(#Volume,20)' );
PlotSeriesLabel( hSMAPct, 1, #Teal, #Dotted, 'SMA(#Volume,20)+20%' );
if true then
PlotSeries( UnadjPriceSer, 0, #Gray, #Thin );

for Bar := 20 to BarCount - 1 do
begin
if LastPositionActive then
begin
p := LastPosition;
if priceclose(Bar) > priceclose(Bar - 1) then
if priceclose(bar - 1) > priceclose(Bar - 2) then
sellatmarket(bar + 1, p, '');
end
else
begin
if not LastPositionActive then
begin
if Volume( Bar ) > SMA(Bar - 1, #Volume, 20) * 1.5 then
// if Volume( Bar ) < SMA(Bar - 1, #Volume, 20) * 1.5 then
begin
if priceclose(bar) > priceclose(bar - 1) * 1.01 then
begin
BuyAtMarket( Bar + 1, '0' );
end;
end;
end;
end;
end;
