What it does
It reads daily prices. It enters a position when all of the entry conditions below is true, and it leaves when its exit rule, its stop-loss or its time limit is reached.
Entry rule
All of these must be true on the same day:
- The close is below the lower Bollinger band (20 days, 2 standard deviations).
- The close is above the 200-day average.
Exit rule
It has no exit signal of its own. It leaves on a stop-loss 8% below the entry, or after 30 days at most.
The idea behind it
Volatility rules use bands drawn a set number of standard deviations around an average, and act when price reaches or breaks through a band.
The bet it makes
It bets on what happens when price moves unusually far from its recent range.
When it tends to struggle
Price can ride along a band for weeks, so a touch is not a turn. Bands also widen and narrow with the market, so the same touch means different things in calm and wild periods.
