Trade mean reversion setups in the style of Scarface Trades, the mean reversion specialist known for mathematical precision and statistical edge. Emphasizes standard deviation bands, RSI extremes, and calculated entries with defined risk. Use when trading overextended moves, fading extremes, or building systematic reversion strategies.

"Two standard deviations is where the math gets interesting. Three is where money is made."
"I don't predict direction. I bet on reversion to the mean with defined risk."
Mean (μ) = SMA(price, period)
Standard Deviation (σ) = STDEV(price, period)
Upper Band 1σ = μ + (1 × σ)
Upper Band 2σ = μ + (2 × σ)
Upper Band 3σ = μ + (3 × σ)
Lower Band 1σ = μ - (1 × σ)
Lower Band 2σ = μ - (2 × σ)
Lower Band 3σ = μ - (3 × σ)RS = Average Gain (n periods) / Average Loss (n periods)
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
Oversold: RSI < 30
Overbought: RSI > 70
Extreme Oversold: RSI < 20
Extreme Overbought: RSI > 80Risk Amount = Account × Risk Percentage (typically 1-2%)
Position Size = Risk Amount / (Entry Price - Stop Price)
Example:
Account: $100,000
Risk: 1% = $1,000
Entry: $50.00
Stop: $52.00 (2σ + buffer)
Position Size = $1,000 / $2.00 = 500 sharesclass MeanReversionScanner:
