Mult ( Divide ( Divide ( Sum (INEQUALITY, 22), MovAvg
(Volume, 22) ), 22 ) , 100 )

To create the Finite Volume Elements trading system, select ‘New Trading Strategy …‘ from the ‘Insert‘ menu and enter the following long entry and exit conditions in the appropriate locations of the Trading Strategy Wizard:
