Execution Logic

  • 1
    Identify a price break outside the Upper Bollinger Band (20, 2).
  • 2
    Monitor for a reversal candle (Pin bar or engulfing).
  • 3
    Exit 100% of the position when price closes back inside the band.
  • 4
    Optional: Scale out 50% on the initial touch.

Why it works

Provides a rigid exit rule during 'scary' high-volatility spikes, capturing the maximum move before the inevitable pullback.
