Volume Spike Reversal EA
Overview
Volume Spike Reversal EA is a pure price-action and volume-based reversal system. It detects abnormal volume spikes (climax candles) followed by a matching confirmation candle in the opposite direction, entering on statistically validated reversal points instead of lagging indicators.
Primary optimization target: **Gold (XAUUSD), H2 timeframe**. Fully multi-symbol and multi-timeframe capable — works on Forex majors, indices and metals with proper re-optimization.
How It Works
1. Detects a volume spike (volume > average x multiplier, highest of last N bars)
2. Arms a pending reversal bias (buy after red spike, sell after green spike)
3. Waits for a confirmation candle with matching volume in the opposite color/range
4. Enters with ATR-based Stop Loss / Take Profit
5. Optional ATR trailing stop
6. Built-in equity drawdown kill switch
No martingale, no grid, no arbitrage. One position at a time. Full risk control via percentage-based position sizing.
Inputs
**Signal**
- AvgLen — volume average lookback
- SpikeMult — spike threshold multiplier
- HighestLen — spike must be highest volume over N bars
- DivLow / DivHigh — confirmation candle volume matching range
- MaxWaitBars — max bars to wait for confirmation (0 = unlimited)
**Risk Management**
- Risk_PctPerTrade — % of balance risked per trade
- Risk_MaxDrawdownPct — equity protection kill switch
- ATR_Period, SL_ATR_Mult, TP_ATR_Mult — volatility-based SL/TP
- Trail_ATR_Mult — ATR trailing stop (0 = off)
**Execution**
- MagicNumber, Slippage, ShowPanel (on-chart dashboard)
**Optimizer Score (advanced)**
- Score_MinProfitFactor, Score_MaxDrawdownPct, Score_MinTrades — disqualification filters
- Score_R2Weight, Score_SlopeWeight, Score_MARWeight, Score_TradeBonusWeight — quality weights
- Score_SplitPenalty, Score_SkewPenalty, Score_UlcerPenalty — stability/risk penalties
Built-in Optimizer Scoring System
This EA includes a proprietary OnTester() scoring engine that goes far beyond raw net profit. It ranks optimization passes by:
- Equity curve smoothness (R²)
- Profit consistency over time (split-half stability)
- Drawdown pain (Ulcer Index) and capital efficiency (MAR ratio)
- Profit concentration risk (single-trade skew filter)
- Statistical reliability (minimum trade count, log-scaled bonus)
Passes with negative profit, low profit factor, excessive drawdown, or too few trades are automatically discarded — so only robust, tradeable parameter sets survive optimization.
**Set Optimizer Criterion to "Custom max" to activate this scoring.**
