The logic behind the edge.
The E-mini Swing Trading strategy applies a disciplined trend-plus-mean-reversion framework to S&P 500 futures (@ES). It identifies the macro trend, then enters long or short only when price pushes past a dynamically calculated threshold away from its short-term range, closing the position as price returns to its average. Volatility-adaptive position sizing and a user-adjustable, volatility-based stop-loss manage risk on every trade. Written and tested in 2016, it has continued to perform in real time since.

- Buys or shorts when ES surpasses a dynamically calculated threshold in the trend direction.
- Closes the position when ES returns to its average price (mean reversion), with a volatility-based stop on every trade.
Every strategy in the RelaxedTrader store is back-tested across a minimum of 10 years of historical market data, with estimated commissions and slippage, before a line of code is sold. If it doesn't hold up under rigorous testing, it doesn't make it to the store.
