Mean Reversion Trading Strategies

Contrarian Trading on Price Normalization

Mean reversion strategies exploit the tendency of prices to return to their historical average after extreme deviations. These contrarian strategies buy oversold conditions and sell overbought conditions, profiting from price normalization.
