⚙️ 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.
