Core Logic & Execution Rules 核心逻辑

Upside Participation Opportunity
LONG SETUP

Z-Score (20) < -2.0 — price statistically oversold vs its mean
RSI (14) < 35 — momentum confirmation of exhaustion
Price near or below lower Bollinger Band (20, 2.0)
ADX (14) < 25 — ranging / low-trend regime confirmed
Optional: Price above 200 EMA (trend alignment filter)

Downside Participation Opportunity
SHORT SETUP

Z-Score (20) > +2.0 — price statistically overbought vs its mean
RSI (14) > 65 — momentum confirmation of exhaustion
Price near or above upper Bollinger Band (20, 2.0)
ADX (14) < 25 — ranging / low-trend regime confirmed
Optional: Price below 200 EMA (trend alignment filter)

Risk Management & Harvest Rules

STOP LOSS

1.5 × ATR(14) below/above entry price. Alternative: recent swing high/low. Hard protection of capital.

TAKE PROFIT (Partial)

TP1: 1.0 × ATR — close 50% of position and move remaining SL to breakeven. Locks in partial harvest.

TAKE PROFIT (Full)

TP2: 2.5 × ATR or when Z-Score reverts toward 0. Full exit on statistical mean reversion completion.

Position sizing strictly calculated to risk exactly 1% of account equity per opportunity. Maximum 3 concurrent opportunities. No pyramiding. Discipline-first execution.

How to Use This Strategy

1. Installation

Copy the MT4 (.mq4) or MT5 (.mq5) EA file into your platform’s Experts folder. Restart the terminal. Attach to desired chart (recommended H1 or H4).

2. Configuration

Adjust parameters in the Inputs tab according to the table above. Enable “Allow Algo Trading”. Start with default 1% risk on a demo account.

3. Monitoring & Optimization

Review open positions in the terminal. Use the visual flow as a checklist. Backtest on multiple pairs and optimize Z-Threshold or ADX max for specific instruments.

Pro Tip: Combine with higher-timeframe bias. The strategy performs best when the higher timeframe (Daily) is not in a strong trending regime.
