***

**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:

* 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.
