A trading framework for finding stocks or markets that have fallen unusually far and may move back toward their typical price. Mean reversion is the idea that an extreme move can be followed by a return toward an average.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan for large price drops, assess seven conditions, plan entries, and trail exits using earlier price highs or lows.
Why use it?
It gives traders a checklist for judging whether a sharp decline offers a possible rebound trade and for managing that trade afterward.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

capitulation-mean-reversion scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Lance Breitstein's Capitulation Mean Reversion Framework

Source: Lance Breitstein — verified $100M+ trader, Trillium Capital's #1 trader (2020 & 2021), all-time firm PNL record holder, adviser to SMB Capital, featured in Jack Schwager's upcoming Market Wizards: The Next Generation. Chart Fanatics interview (March 2026).

Core Philosophy

Markets are extremely efficient. The starting price is usually the RIGHT price. The strategy focuses on identifying moments when price has moved FAR from equilibrium and stacking variables to create massive positive expected value for the reversion trade.

Expected Value Formula:

EV = (Win Rate x Reward) - (Loss Rate x Risk)

The entire system is about shifting EVERY component of this equation in your favor simultaneously.


The 7-Variable Checklist

At any given moment, Lance is constantly weighing ALL factors dynamically. Each variable is scored on a mental 0-10 scale.

Variable 1: Size of Move

  • S&P down 1 penny? Not interesting. S&P down $100? Very interesting.
  • The LARGER the move from equilibrium, the more appealing for mean reversion.
  • Measure in % terms AND absolute terms relative to normal ranges.

Variable 2: Speed / Rate of Change (THE MOST IMPORTANT)

  • A 5% move over a year = not interesting.
  • A 5% move in 1 minute = extremely interesting.
  • Slope analysis grades:
Slope Description Tradeable?
-0.5 Slow, steady decline NO — grinding, not capitulating
-1 Moderate acceleration Getting interesting
-3 Sharp selloff Good setup territory
-10 Asymptotic waterfall BEST setups — "we love this"
  • The ideal pattern: Boring/stable -> steady decline -> acceleration -> WATERFALL (asymptotic).
  • Rate of change CRESCENDO is the key visual signature.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
