A long-only single-instrument VELOCITY-BASED mean-reversion strategy on BNBUSDT perpetual futures using 4-hour bars and OHLCV-only data, with a daily-bar bull regime filter. This is a STRUCTURALLY DIFFERENT mechanism from every other in-pipeline strategy: 6 of 10 are momentum/breakout (continuation), 1 is BB-distance mean-reversion (SOL 4H BB — fires on price FAR from mean), 3 are daily trend or accumulation. None use a velocity-based extreme-RSI trigger. RSI(2) is a textbook Larry Connors short-term……Show moreShow less
A long-only single-instrument VELOCITY-BASED mean-reversion strategy on BNBUSDT perpetual futures using 4-hour bars and OHLCV-only data, with a daily-bar bull regime filter. This is a STRUCTURALLY DIFFERENT mechanism from every other in-pipeline strategy: 6 of 10 are momentum/breakout (continuation), 1 is BB-distance mean-reversion (SOL 4H BB — fires on price FAR from mean), 3 are daily trend or accumulation. None use a velocity-based extreme-RSI trigger. RSI(2) is a textbook Larry Connors short-term mean-reversion trigger (documented ~2008, robust across asset classes for ~17 years): it captures the SPEED of recent decline rather than absolute distance from mean, firing on different market microstructure conditions than Bollinger Bands. The two fire on largely non-overlapping bars: BB triggers when price is multiple sigma below the moving average (slow, drift-driven dips); RSI(2) triggers when price has dropped sharply over just 2 bars (fast, panic-driven flushes). This makes the SOL-4H-BB and BNB-4H-RSI(2) a true orthogonal mean-reversion pair within the portfolio, not redundant coverage. BNB is chosen specifically because (a) BNB has only ONE promoted strategy in the portfolio (BnbFourHourVolumeBreakoutLong), so this fills BNB's mechanism-diversification gap, (b) BNB's 4H futures data path is empirically reliable (proven by the existing promoted breakout strategy), (c) BNB has a distinct retail-driven oversold-then-bounce dynamic on intraday timeframes (Binance ecosystem token, retail panic on BNB-specific FUD typically reverses within 4-12 hours), (d) BNB volatility (~3-4% daily ATR) is high enough to produce meaningful per-trade returns above the 0.10% fee threshold but low enough to avoid the wild whipsaws of meme assets. Critically, this strategy AVOIDS daily-bar dependencies (which have produced 10+ Layer 3 infrastructure failures) by using 4H bars and a daily-bar regime filter where the daily bars only need to provide the most-recent close (a much lighter data dependency). Only 4 parameters total (RSI period=2, RSI oversold threshold, daily regime EMA period, stop-loss pct), all economically meaningful with stable interpretations.
