Strategies/Crowd Fade

Crowd Fade

Mean reversion strategy that fades the crowd at extremes. Uses RSI x SMA(RSI) crossovers while RSI is in oversold/overbought zones, with asymmetric zone widths set by 1H EMA(200) trend direction — wider zones for with-trend entries, narrower for counter-trend. ATR-based risk management with trailing stops and breakeven.
