Reglas de entrada
- Enter long when close is below the lower Bollinger band — a 2σ stretch below the 20-bar mean.
- Single position; 3-bar cooldown after exit.
- Enter long the bar after EMA(12) crosses above EMA(26).
- Cooldown of 2 bars after an exit prevents instant whipsaw re-entries.
Reglas de salida
- Exit when close pushes back above the middle band.
- Hard 3% stop-loss; 2% trailing stop locks in any reversion gain.
- Close on the down-cross: EMA(12) back below EMA(26).
- Trailing stop of 4% locks in profits if the cross reverses without a clean down-cross.
Comportamiento esperado
Smooth equity curve in low-volatility regimes with frequent small wins. Sharp drawdowns when a trend extends and price stays pinned below the lower band — the strategy expects mean reversion that may not arrive.
Long flat periods broken by sharp upward jumps when a sustained trend lines up — and visible drawdowns during ranging markets when the cross fires both ways inside a few bars.
