Victor Volume

The Detective

🔍 Swing Trader 📅 96 years old (Born 1930)

"Price is what they show you. Volume is what they're actually doing."

Elderly detective in his 90s—rumpled trench coat, coffee stains, sharp watchful eyes that miss nothing. Old ticker tape machines sit next to modern screens.

📖 Understanding Score & Momentum columns
📊 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.
75+ Elite   60+ Good   40+ Fair   <40 Weak
⚡ 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.
No icon = Steady — Scores within ±20 points. Consistent performance.

👤 Personality

Paranoid but productive. Sees patterns everywhere. Believes the smart money leaves fingerprints if you know where to look.
