Thesis
Price exhibits mean-reverting behavior when it reaches 'Key Zones'—areas where historical volume profile bins show low participation—as these represent liquidity gaps. Reversals at these gaps are high-probability when validated by an increase in Relative Volume (RVOL) and alignment with smoothed momentum (RSIOMA), as market participants rush to fill the liquidity void.
Components
- Linefill All Visualizer (regime) — Establishes the macro boundaries for price action; the strategy only operates when price is within the 'filled' visualization zone, suggesting a stable market structure rather than a runaway breakout.
- RSIOMA (RSI of Moving Average) (direction) — Filtering trades in the direction of the smoothed momentum. Avoids entering counter-trend positions during strong directional pushes.
- Dynamic Supply and Demand Zones [AlgoAlpha] (entry) — Identifies liquidity gaps (low-volume bins) that represent historical price exhaustion or lack of interest, acting as 'magnets' for mean-reversion.
- Auto Fibonacci (exit) — Provides objective target levels for profit taking based on the current swing range defined by the auto-anchored levels.
- RVOL (Relative Volume) (risk) — Ensures entries occur during periods of high participation (RVOL > 1.2), validating that the touch of a supply/demand zone is being noticed by the broader market.
- Stochastic Oscillator (ta.stoch) (confirmation) — Provides a fast-acting trigger to confirm local exhaustion within the supply/demand zones.
Known failure conditions
- Consistently low RVOL (<1.0) indicating a 'dead' market where S&D zones lose their predictive power.
- RSIOMA oscillating tightly around the 50 level for extended periods, signifying a lack of momentum direction.
- S&D zones being breached instantly without any Stochastic divergence or reaction.
