MICHAEL N.'S TRADING STRATEGY
Backtested Exhaustion Reversals
Target high-probability price "snaps" by identifying extreme weekly deviations from the mean where emotional selling has reached a statistical limit. Execution focuses on entering during these "stretched" exhaustion points and exiting immediately upon a touch of the target moving average, providing a consistent profit engine that stabilizes the portfolio during market turbulence.
Reversions w/ Machine Learning
Target high-probability mean reversion entries by using machine learning to filter out "noise" and isolate specific technical thresholds where price exhaustion is statistically most likely to reverse. Execution focuses on applying binary filters; such as moving average distance and gap size. This ensures trades are only taken when the mathematical expectancy and Calmar ratio are at their historical peak.
