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.
- MACD line crosses above its signal line AND
- Histogram is positive — momentum is widening, not contracting.
Reglas de salida
- Exit when close pushes back above the middle band.
- Hard 3% stop-loss; 2% trailing stop locks in any reversion gain.
- MACD line crosses back below the signal line.
- Hard 4% stop; 3% trailing stop on the runner.
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.
Slower than a pure EMA cross — fewer false starts, later entries. Equity curve shows fewer trades, smoother PnL, occasional missed early-trend acceleration.
