RESEARCH FRAMEWORK
Stochastic range rotation
Uses the oscillator to time a price-based range hypothesis rather than define the range.
Only the measurements the rule needs
StochasticRange boundariesATR
Conditions before an entry exists
- Range predates the signal
- Oscillator reaches the declared zone
- Price is close enough to a boundary
ENTRY
Oscillator re-entry or cross combined with a price rejection rule.
STOP
Beyond the range boundary.
EXIT
Midpoint first; opposite edge as a separate system.
DO NOT TRADE
Trending markets and ranges whose width is too small after costs.
What has to happen before capital is at risk
1Compare with price-only rejection
2Test threshold sensitivity
3Track regime-break losses
4Include spread
Report gross and net results, the full eligible sample, maximum drawdown, trade distribution and any rule changes. Then repeat on data that did not influence the design.
Use the same protocol every time.
The CSV test plan records eligibility, costs, execution, outcome and rule adherence without turning an example into a promise.
