Marcus Volume Panic

The Volume Vulture

📢 Reversal 📅 0 years old (Born 2026)

"Volume is the market's heartbeat. When it doubles during elevated VIX, that's not normal selling — that's capitulation. Institutions dumping shares at any price. The snap-back is violent and profitable."

A volume-obsessed trader with VWAP charts on every screen. Tracks volume bars like a seismograph — when they spike to 2x normal during elevated VIX, the alarm bells ring. Specializes in financials and payment processors.

📊 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.

⚡ 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.
