Bollinger Width Mean Reversion (C# Version)

The Bollinger Width Mean Reversion strategy focuses on extreme readings of the Bollinger to exploit reversion. Wide departures from the average level rarely last.

Testing indicates an average annual return of about 157%. It performs best in the crypto market.

Trades trigger when the indicator swings far from its mean and then begins to reverse. Both long and short setups include a protective stop.

Suited for swing traders expecting oscillations, the strategy closes out once the Bollinger returns toward balance. Starting parameter BollingerLength = 20.
