Volatility SystemDespite its crude name, the volatility system strategy, described by Richard Bookstaber in 1984, follows the simple premise that once there is a big volatile movement, the market tends to follow it. Thus, it uses the ATR to measure the volatility, and issues orders when the current change of the closing price exceeds the threshold, calculated by the ATR times a configurable constant.
It yields good results for some very specific charts, as you can see. However, I doubt it would work in the current market conditions, since it has no stop loss and no take profit , and the current noise levels obliterate this strategy, especially in small time frames. Maybe their integration to the strategy would yield better results, so feel free to add your own modifications.
