A LONG-SHORT, SINGLE-INSTRUMENT, pure-OHLCV intraday MEAN-REVERSION strategy on SOLUSDT.BINANCE USD-M perpetual futures using 1-HOUR bars. It is a deliberate sibling of the factory's PROMOTED ETH 1H daily-anchored-VWAP mean-reversion strategy, replicated on a higher-volatility asset, and engineered to AVOID every documented failure mode of that mechanism's abandoned long-only variant. Mechanism: compute the daily-anchored VWAP (volume-weighted average price reset at 00:00 UTC, accumulated from the day's 1H bars). Price wanders above/below this intraday fair-value anchor and tends to revert to it within the session. When price is significantly BELOW VWAP, go LONG (expect reversion up); when significantly ABOVE, go SHORT (expect reversion down). CRITICAL DESIGN CHOICES, each correcting a specific prior failure: (1) PURE OHLCV — uses NO supplementary data, completely avoiding the OI/taker/funding multi-year coverage holes that abandoned five strategies this session (OI-surge, taker-flow, XRP-OI-fade, etc.); VWAP is computed from the 1H bars themselves, which have full multi-year coverage. (2) LONG-SHORT, NOT long-only — the abandoned ETH variant was long-only-bull-regime-gated, which structurally confined trades to bull markets and starved OOS windows; this fades both sides in every regime. (3) NO regime gate and a MODEST, vol-normalized excursion threshold (~1.8 sigma, NOT a rare 3%+ deep excursion) chosen so entries fire CONTINUOUSLY — explicitly targeting >=10 qualifying entries per walk-forward OOS window, directly defeating the event-sparsity / OOS-all-zero / IS-Sharpe-11 trade-starvation signature that killed the long-only variant and the drawdown-accumulation family. (4) ATR STOP to contain tail squeezes — the XRP fade blew up on an uncontained -29.9% SEC-ruling squeeze; a tight ATR stop plus fading only MODEST (not violent) excursions limits the left tail. NOT a closed family: NOT cross-asset pairs-ratio MR (single instrument vs its own intraday anchor, not a non-stationary 2-asset ratio), NOT breakout/momentum, NOT cross-venue/HL, NOT COIN-M. Intentionally minimal: 3 tunables (entry_z, vol_lookback, atr_stop_mult).
