Reglas de entrada
- Enter long when close crosses above the upper Bollinger band.
- Single position at a time; 3-bar cooldown after exit.
- Enter long when close crosses above the 20-bar SMA.
- 4-bar cooldown after exit reduces back-to-back whipsaws.
Reglas de salida
- Close as soon as price slips back below the middle band (the 20-bar SMA).
- Trailing 4% stop on the runner so a failed breakout dies cheaply.
- Close on a cross back below the SMA.
- Trailing 5% stop catches deeper retracements before the SMA flips.
Comportamiento esperado
Lots of small chop with a handful of clean runs that come after periods of low realised volatility. Quiet markets feed the strategy with setups; the payoff is asymmetric — many small losses, few large wins.
Trendy growth in directional regimes punctuated by ugly chop when price oscillates around the SMA. Best paired with a higher-timeframe trend filter to skip the chop.
