Quantitative trading strategies and model

Good day,



In the last video of Section 2, Unit 16, you suggested that in order to improve the accuracy of the strategy using bband to detect a trend,  change in the trading volume of the security can also be considered along with the change in the daily returns to identify fake breakouts". 



Should I use an indicator such as a simple average volume traded between last 5 to 10 days or there is an indicator specifically design for this purpose.

Hello Eric,



Identifying a breakout in volume instead of the price will use the same mathematical methods. Using a moving average crossover is perfectly legitimate.
