Inside Volt: How the PVO Strategy Finds Trades

What is PVO?

PVO stands for Price Volume Oscillator — it's a technical analysis method that combines price action with volume data to identify high-probability trade setups.

The core idea: when price breaks through a key support or resistance level and comes back to retest it, that retest often provides a strong entry point. Volt's algorithm detects exactly this pattern.

How the Scanner Works

1. Every 5 minutes, the bot scans 100+ crypto pairs
2. For each pair, it identifies key support/resistance levels from recent price history
3. It checks: has price broken through a level? Is it now retesting from the other side?
4. It scores the setup (0-100%) based on multiple factors: volume confirmation, momentum, distance from level, and risk-reward ratio
5. Only setups scoring above the threshold are executed

Signal Phases

Not every detected level leads to a trade. The algorithm tracks three phases:

• APPROACHING — price is moving toward a broken level. Monitoring begins.
• ENTRY — price has reached the level. Conditions are being evaluated.
• TRADE — all conditions are met. Entry is executed with automatic stop-loss and take-profit.

Risk Management

Every trade Volt opens has:

• Stop-loss set based on the nearest structure (not arbitrary %)
• Take-profit at a minimum 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio
• Position size calculated from your risk setting (e.g., 1% of balance)

What This Means For You

You don't need to understand every technical detail. What matters is that the system has clear rules, manages risk on every trade, and doesn't deviate from its logic regardless of market conditions.

Transparency matters. If you want to see every signal the bot detects — including those it doesn't trade — check the Signals page in your dashboard.
