Bullish Dip-Buy Strategy

Strategy Name: Bounce Entry


Strategy Description:

Bounce Entry is a counter-trend long strategy designed to capture high-probability mean reversion moves following periods of oversold pressure and volatility expansion. It combines a price-based volatility signal with a momentum oversold trigger to enter long positions when assets are likely to rebound from short-term extremes. This strategy is ideal for traders seeking disciplined entries into temporary pullbacks within broader market noise.


Core Setup:

Mean Reversion Trigger:

  • Enters long only when the price crosses above the lower Bollinger Band (20, 2) on the 3-minute bar chart, indicating a shift from volatility-driven selling pressure toward stabilization or reversal.

Momentum Oversold Filter:

  • RSI(14) must be below 30 on the same 3-minute bar chart, confirming the asset is in a statistically oversold condition.

Entry Timing Logic:

  • The crossover must occur during a live bar or be confirmed on bar close, minimizing false signals from mere proximity to the band.


Profit Target & Risk Control:

  • Take Profit: +0.75%

  • Stop Loss: -0.75%

  • A 1:1 reward-to-risk ratio ensures steady returns when combined with a solid signal-to-noise entry framework.


Ideal For:

  • Traders who seek tactical long entries during volatile sell-offs

  • Mean reversion systems that prefer oversold signals backed by volatility metrics

  • Traders wanting to automate entry into short-term reversal setups with balanced risk management


Bounce Entry provides a clean, repeatable playbook for capturing short bursts of bullish momentum during price dislocations, with tight, symmetrical risk parameters that promote consistency and minimize emotional decision-making.

Alternative Exit Criteria:

Strategy Name: Bounce Entry Smart Exit

  • Exit the position early if either of the following conditions is met before the fixed profit or stop levels:

  • RSI(14) rises above 50, signaling the bounce may be losing steam. Price crosses above the middle Bollinger Band (20 SMA), suggesting a return to the mean has occurred.

This dynamic exit allows the strategy to lock in profits earlier when the market reverts more quickly than expected, reducing exposure to snap-back volatility or trend continuation against the position.


Ideal For:

  • Traders who seek tactical long entries during volatile sell-offs

  • Mean reversion systems that prefer oversold signals backed by volatility metrics

  • Traders wanting to automate entry into short-term reversal setups with balanced risk management.
