Buying a Rebound After a Large Decline Candle

Summary

This price action strategy looks for a large bearish candle, then seeks a bullish candle whose low falls below the earlier candle’s low as a buy trigger. The described setup aims to catch a rebound after intense selling. It specifies a default candle-size threshold, a fixed stop distance, a larger fixed profit target, and an initial position size. The accompanying description also proposes increasing size after a substantial rise in strategy profit.

The published settings specify BTC/USDT Binance futures on hourly bars with a 15-minute base period, covering June 2024. They do not include trading results or performance statistics. The source code resets its reference low whenever another large bearish candle appears, and it does not clearly enforce that the trigger must be the immediately following candle. Its position adjustment checks open-trade profit, which may not match the prose description of overall accumulated profit. The fixed point distances and scaling rule also leave market suitability and total exposure unresolved.

Key ideas

• The entry setup follows a large bearish candle with a bullish candle that makes a lower low.
• The described risk and reward levels use fixed point distances for a stop and target.
• The prose describes increasing position size after a large profit gain.
• The code resets the reference low when a new qualifying bearish candle appears.
• The published configuration gives no performance results, and the implementation differs from parts of its written description.
