[dharmatech] KBDR Mean Reversion

30 Sep 2023

Based on the criteria described in the book "Mean Revision Trading" by Nishant Pant.

Bullish signal criteria:

• Bollinger Bands must be outside Keltner Channel
  
• Price near bottom bband
  
• DI+ increasing
  
• DI- decreasing
  
• RSI near bottom and increasing
  

Bearish signal criteria:

• Bollinger Bands must be outside Keltner Channel
  
• Price near upper bband
  
• DI+ decreasing
  
• DI- increasing
  
• RSI near upper and decreasing
  

A single triangle indicates that all 4 criteria are met.
If letters appear with the triangle, this indicates that there was a partial criteria match.

• K : bbands outside Keltner
  
• B : bbands criteria met
  
• D : DI criteria met
  
• R : RSI criteria met
  

You can use the settings to turn off partial signals. For example:

"Partial 3" means show signals where 3 of the criteria are met.

If you want more insight into the underlying criteria, load these indicators as well:

ADX and DI

Warning:

Not meant to be used as a stand-alone buy/sell signal.
It regularly provides signals which would not be profitable.
It's meant to be used in conjunction with other analysis.

Think of this as a time-saving tool. Instead of manually checking RSI, DI+/DI-, bbands, distance, etc. this does all of that for you on the fly.
