Mean Reversion Pro Strategy

The Mean Reversion Pro Strategy tool is a technical trading system designed to identify potential mean reversion opportunities on the daily timeframe using a combination of dual moving averages and price range analysis. It aims to capture price corrections relative to short-term and long-term averages, making it suitable for liquid markets and indices.

Usage

The strategy operates by monitoring the relationship between price, a Fast Simple Moving Average (SMA), and a Slow SMA. Users can choose between "Long Only", "Short Only", or "Both" directions.

Entry Examples:

• Long Entry: Occurs when the price is below the Fast SMA, below the 20% threshold of the current bar's range, and remains above the Slow SMA (indicating a pullback within a larger uptrend).
• Short Entry: Occurs when the price is above the Fast SMA, above the 80% threshold of the current bar's range, and remains below the Slow SMA (indicating a rally within a larger downtrend).

Exits: The strategy uses a trend-following exit logic rather than fixed targets. Positions are closed when the price crosses back over the Fast SMA (crossing above for longs, below for shorts).

Details

The script utilizes a dual SMA system where the Fast SMA acts as the mean price for entry/exit signals, while the Slow SMA serves as a trend filter to ensure trades are taken in the direction of the macro trend.

The strategy also incorporates "Price Range Analysis." By calculating the 20% and 80% marks of the current bar's high-low range, it ensures entries happen when price is stretched toward the extremes of the daily candle, further confirming a potential reversion point. Visuals are enhanced with gradient colors based on the distance from the SMAs relative to the Average True Range (ATR).
