AetherEdge - Mean-Reversion Bands

239
🖊️ Overview

Ordinary bands flag the stretch but say nothing about what happens next. AE-MRB learns the probability that price reverts to the mean at a band touch and only fades when the odds support it. A UCB-style threshold adapts per trend regime — aggressive in chop, cautious in a trend — with the mean (band center) as the target.

🔶 Key Features

Learned reversion probability — online P(revert) at each band touch (not every touch reverts)
Triple-barrier training — learns from the real outcome: revert / extend (trend) / timeout
Regime-adaptive threshold — UCB tunes the firing probability per ranging/normal/trending regime
Fade signals — long at the lower band, short at the upper band, targeting the mean
σ stretch readout and regime-colored bands
Alerts on high-probability touches; bar-close training and signals — no repaint

🧠 Technical Architecture

Bands: basis (EMA/SMA) ± kBand·standard deviation; stretch = (close − basis)/σ (z-score).
ML (online logistic): at a band touch (a fresh |stretch| ≥ threshold cross), seven fade-oriented features (stretch, trend strength, RSI extremity, band-width regime, volume, mean slope, exhaustion) predict P(reverts to the mean within N bars). Labels are triple-barrier — revert (returns to mean) = 1, extend (stretches further = trend/breakout) = 0, timeout judged by how far it pulled back. Resolved over an array<Setup> with SL priority.
RL (UCB-style adaptive threshold): per trend regime (trend-strength terciles), a UCB tunes the firing probability threshold; reward is tied to the same reversion outcome (one learning loop). Stronger trends demand higher conviction.
Honest scope: a linear classifier + a bandit over standard features. Not deep learning, not a guarantee.

⚙️ Recommended Settings & Tuning Guide (crypto 15m–4H)

Key parameters: basis length, band width σ, touch threshold σ, barrier horizon N, revert/extend levels, learning rate, UCB exploration, min reversion probability.

Touch threshold σ ≈ 1.5–2.0 (lower = more frequent, higher = more selective)
N is the max bars to wait for reversion; 8–15 for 15m–1H
Revert level / extend distance define what counts as success vs failure
Min reversion probability is a floor that suppresses weak-market misfires
Best on range-prone symbols/sessions; in strong trends the UCB automatically throttles firing

💡 How to Use in Practice

Use the fade triangles for counter-trend entries and the mean as the take-profit target
Watch P(revert) vs threshold and take only setups that clear it
When the regime reads TRENDING, fade lightly (pair with a trend tool)
Use the realized revert rate to gauge how reversion-friendly the market is now
Combine with AE-VOL (range envelope) or AE-CORR (drivers) to layer reversion × level

⚠️ Important Notes

Needs a learning period (warmup); learning resets on parameter/timeframe change
Mean reversion fails in strong trends (extend = loss; manage via threshold and regime)
The target mean moves (its level shifts before price reaches it)
Probability, not a guarantee — always do your own due diligence and use risk management
