Mean Reversion Scorer
Is this a fade — or a trend day? 6-point check
Reversion Score
0
/6
No Setup — Stand Aside
Check each condition the current setup actually meets.
01
Fair value reference is defined
You marked "normal" price before entering — session open, VWAP, or the prior balance zone. You know exactly where price should revert TO
02
Price is statistically overextended
Price ran far from fair value — beyond a band, 2+ ATR, or a clear stretch. A small wobble is not a reversion setup
03
The stretch was an emotional spike
Driven by a news burst or the open — exhaustion, not the start of a fresh sustained trend. Fading real trend initiation is how reversion traders die
04
A reversal signal has triggered
Momentum stalled — a structure shift back, a displacement candle, or a clear loss of drive. You react to the turn, you don't predict it
05
Fixed risk & fixed target are set
Same stop, same target (fair value), same risk as every other trade. No widening the stop, no moving the target, no improvising
06
The edge is proven positive
You have a sample (backtest or log) showing this exact setup has positive expectancy. Without it, repeating the trade just compounds a loss faster
