⚙️ Trading Strategy

Fade 1.5 std dev moves, 0.3% target

When price deviates 1.5 standard deviations from short-term average, it's likely overextended. Ruby fades these moves, betting on the snap-back.

🎯 Best Suited For

Range-bound days, mean-reverting stocks

"Stretched too far, snaps back. Physics applies to markets too."

📜 Why This Strategy Works

Intraday moves often overshoot. The initial reversion is usually reliable.

📊 Entry Signal (Fade the Extension)

📈 Entry Signal (Fade the Extension)

                        Close ≤ Lower Band (price 1.5 std dev below mean)                    

→ BUY at current close price (fade the selloff)

📉 Exit Conditions

                        • TARGET: Price ≥ entry × 1.003 (+0.3% gain - quick snap-back)                    

                        • STOP_LOSS: Price ≤ entry × 0.995 (-0.5% loss)                    

                        • MAX_HOLD: 30 bars

👤 Personality

Kinetic thinker. Visualizes price as stretchy—it can only go so far before snapping back.
