# Volume Accumulation Scanner ## Current Understanding Detects stocks with volume >2x average. Key weakness: cannot distinguish buying from selling — high volume on a down day is distribution, not accumulation. Multi-day mode (3 of last 5 days >1.5x) is more reliable than single-day spikes. Price-change filter (<3% absolute move) isolates quiet accumulation from momentum chasing. ## Evidence Log _(populated by /iterate runs)_ ## Pending Hypotheses - [ ] Does adding a price-direction filter (volume + flat/up price) improve hit rate? - [ ] Is 3-of-5-day accumulation a stronger signal than single-day 2x volume?
