TLDR – Volume Analysis Integration
The Premium Popper already wins 86.6% of trades. Adding opening-volume filters looked promising but failed in practice. After three development cycles and rigorous statistical tracking, the supposed edge proved to be statistical noise (+1.5% at best).
Key lessons:
– Not every research insight translates into profitable execution.
– Feature creep adds complexity without guaranteed returns.
– Sometimes subtraction beats addition – a leaner, proven system is more powerful.
Verdict: Volume analysis removed. v1.5.7 stays the production standard.
