POV
Description
Percent of Volume (POV) is a trading algorithm based on volume used to an execution of bigger orders without excessive impact on the market price. The time window in which strategy is working (End Time minus Start Time) is divided on smaller time windows (each of length Delay) 
. Each time window 
has volume 
which was generated on the market in that period of time.
The POV strategy in the end of each time window sends an order of volume
where p is equal to Volume Participation. As a consequence its overall intended volume participation is equal to p.
