Strategy family
Mean Reversion
A price, spread, or normalized deviation may return toward an anchor, provided the anchor still represents the state being traded.
Guides
Build the idea in a useful order.
Begin with the family-level behavior, then move into the implementation choices that materially change the test.
Mean Reversion guides
Mean reversion: anchors, horizons, and reversion risk
A displacement is only meaningful relative to an anchor, a horizon, and a reason the anchor should remain valid.
VWAP reversion: anchors, normalization, and exit design
Build a VWAP reversion experiment by separating the reference price, the entry distance, and the exit that actually closes risk.
Pairs trading: spreads, cointegration, and relationship breaks
Trade a relationship only after defining the spread, testing its stability, and deciding when the pair has stopped being a pair.
QFL: base breaks, bounces, and risk limits
Turn a broken support base into a causal rebound experiment before adding layers, leverage, or hindsight.
Dead-cat bounces: rebound rules and trend failure
Make a post-selloff rebound testable without confusing a later failure with information available at the time.
