Volatility expansion
Strong directional trends
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 the bar after EMA(12) crosses above EMA(26).
- Cooldown of 2 bars after an exit prevents instant whipsaw re-entries.
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 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
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.
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.
