BTFD strategy [3min]

Script from: TradingViewIntradayMean reversionVolumeScalping

The BTFD (Buy The Freaking Dip) strategy focuses on purchasing at low price points in a stable, sideways trending market, specifically suitable for indices like SPX500, NASDAQ100, and Dow Jones 30. Key indicators—volume and RSI (Relative Strength Index)—signal entry points when RSI is ≤30 (oversold) or ≥70 (overbought). Trades are executed in up to 5 market entries per qualifying candle, with tiered profit-taking targets set from 0.4% to 1.2%, and a fixed 5% stop loss to account for volatility.
