In this article am going to discuss the strategy, "GBPUSDV1", that i used during the September strategy contest where i managed to finish in the first rank.

The strategy is largely based on the Time Segmented Volume indicator. This indicator was developed by the Worden Brothers for use in the stock market. However the strategy can also work in the forex market.

The Time Segmented Volume indicator is an oscillator, that spots the discrepancies between the TSV and the Ask price of the pair in the forex market to determine possible entries and exits.

When the TVS indicator crosses above the zero line, it acts a signal for buying pressure. Conversely when the TVS crosses below the zero, it indicates selling pressure.
In the strategy, we look for a divergence between the TVS 10 and the TVS 3.
