Victor Vol Seeker

The Elevated Edge

⚡ Volume 📅 96 years old (Born 1930)

"You don't need a full crisis. VIX above 25 means the market is nervous enough for volume spikes to signal real conviction. That nervous energy is where the edge lives."

Works the sweet spot between calm and chaos. VIX above 25 is uncomfortable enough for weak hands to sell, but not so extreme that everything is correlated to panic. In this zone, a volume spike actually means something stock-specific.

📖 Understanding Score & Momentum columns
📊 Score — Lifetime Quality Score
Measures how well this strategy+symbol combination has performed across the entire simulation history. Based on return, win rate, drawdown control, profit factor, and trade count. Higher is better.
75+ Elite   60+ Good   40+ Fair   <40 Weak
⚡ Mom — 30-Day Momentum Score
Measures performance over the last 30 days only. Same quality model but calibrated for short-term activity. Captures recent regime shifts that the lifetime score may miss.
75+ Hot   60+ Active   40+ Moderate   <40 Quiet
Spread Indicators — Comparing Mom vs Score reveals regime sensitivity:
🔥 Heating Up — Mom is 20+ points above Score. This symbol is performing significantly better recently than its lifetime average. Could indicate a favorable regime shift.
🧊 Cooling Off — Mom is 20+ points below Score. This symbol is underperforming recently despite a strong lifetime track record. Could indicate an unfavorable regime shift.
No icon = Steady — Scores within ±20 points. Consistent performance.
