Mean Reversion Strategy
Prices often return to their mean after extreme movements. Mean reversion traders exploit this by:
- Identifying overbought/oversold levels using tools like Bollinger Bands or Keltner Channels
- Buying dips or shorting spikes near the 3rd standard deviation
- Targeting a return to the 20-day moving average
- Using stop-losses in case the trend continues
It’s not foolproof - but with appropriate risk/reward, it is powerful in varied markets.
