SNAPBACK

Fades stretched moves back toward the average using Bollinger Bands and RSI, and stands aside when a strong trend is running.

How it works

SNAPBACK looks for price that has pushed too far from its average and shows signs of slowing. It then trades the return toward the middle band. An ADX filter keeps it out when the market is trending hard, and the news filter pauses it around high-impact releases when moves tend to run.

Key features

  • Bollinger Band and RSI stretch signals
  • ADX filter skips strong trending conditions
  • Targets the middle band, with a hard stop
  • News filter pauses new entries around high-impact releases and resumes after a cooldown you set

Suits you if

Traders who want a steady flow of shorter trades in ranging or calm conditions.

Watch out for

Counter-trend trading loses when a move keeps going. Keep the stop in place and do not widen it, and review results after strong trend days.
