What is the rarest strategy that you have ever seen or used? A real Volume Momentum EA 

Hmm... Ever heard of the age-old VPMO indicator?

I've been trading real futures longer than I've been trading FX/CFD's, where iRealVolume() is pretty much standard.

In the absence any further details, implementing real volume momentum in an EA doesn't really strike me as rare.

My city is over 850 yr old ,Son I mock your 250 and Typical American...

I forgot to mention... I'm part Mohawk so I wouldn't say "Typical." Independence, from what, remains the question.

Looks like my other nation has several thousand years on your city.😉

How that strategy works?
 
for trading I’d still want to see proper backtesting before trusting it with real money

If anyone understands this type of system, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts and insights.

 
Trailing stops and indentations changed my life.

This indicator should give you some idea.

Just be aware that if you want to analyze real contract volume, you need to have an account with a centralized exchange broker-dealer (or at least an exchange data subscription)─such as in CME futures. You'll also have to replace volume with real voluime in the indicator.

Hidden Markov Models in Machine Learning-Based Trading Systems

Maxim Dmitrievsky, 2026.04.20 13:27

Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are a powerful class of probabilistic models designed to analyze sequential data, where observed events depend on some sequence of unobserved (hidden) states that form a Markov process. The main assumptions of HMM include the Markov property for hidden states, meaning that the probability of transition to the next state depends only on the current state, and the independence of observations given knowledge of the current hidden state.

Hidden Markov Models for Trend-Following Volatility Prediction

Zhuo Kai Chen, 2025.01.16 11:48

Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are powerful statistical tools that identify underlying market states by analyzing observable price movements. In trading, HMMs enhance volatility prediction and inform trend-following strategies by modeling and anticipating shifts in market regimes. In this article, we will present the complete procedure for developing a trend-following strategy that utilizes HMMs to predict volatility as a filter.

Integrating Hidden Markov Models in MetaTrader 5

Francis Dube, 2024.06.12 11:35

In this article we demonstrate how Hidden Markov Models trained using Python can be integrated into MetaTrader 5 applications. Hidden Markov Models are a powerful statistical tool used for modeling time series data, where the system being modeled is characterized by unobservable (hidden) states. A fundamental premise of HMMs is that the probability of being in a given state at a particular time depends on the process's state at the previous time slot.
