GKD-V Finite Volume Elements [Loxx]

Giga Kaleidoscope Finite Volume Elements is a Volatility/Volume module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".

█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System

What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?

The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.

What is an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?

The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:

1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown.
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted.

How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?

Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:

1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)

(additional module types will added in future releases)

Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:

GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT

That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.

This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.

What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?

Example trading system:

• Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
  
• Baseline: Leader Exponential Moving Average
  
• Volatility/Volume: Finite Volume Elements as shown on the chart above
  
• Confirmation 1: Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum
  
• Confirmation 2: Jurik Turning Point Oscillator
  
• Continuation: Fisher Transform
  
• Exit: Rex Oscillator
  

Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

█ Finite Volume Elements

What is Finite Volume Elements
The Finite Volume Element Indicator ( FVE ) was developed by Markos Katsanos and introduced in the April 2003 issue of Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine. It was modified for volatility in the September 2003 issue of TASC.

FVE is a money flow indicator but with two important differences from existing money flow indicators:

• It resolves contradictions between intraday money flow indicators (such as Chaikin’s money flow ) and intraday money flow indicators (like On Balance Volume ) by taking into account both intra- and intraday price action.
  
• Unlike other money flow indicators which add or subtract all volume even if the security closed just 1 cent higher than the previous close, FVE uses a volatility threshold to take into account minimal price changes
  

Other things to note
The GKD trading system requires that a GKD-V indicator be present in the indicator chain, but the GKD-V indicator doesn't need to be active. You can turn on/off the Volatility Ratio as you wish so you can backtest your trading strategy with the filter on or off.

Additional features will be added in future releases.

This indicator is only available to ALGX Trading VIP group members . You can see the Author's Instructions below to get more information on how to get access.
