Peak Reload

by Ordertune · part of Advanced

  • long
  • Risk medium

The Peak Reload is a Mean Reversion model that buys volatility-scaled pullbacks from fresh highs. It targets strong names that dip briefly after making new highs, judging each setback against the stock's own volatility. It assumes a controlled shake-out near the highs is a reloading point, not a top — the trend simply pausing before it pushes on. It is designed to capture the resumption that follows — price reclaiming the dip and reloading toward new highs.

Equity curve

Growth over the full history on a logarithmic scale, so every year weighs the same. The figure that counts here is the annual return above.

Drawdown

How far the value stood below its previous high on each day. Deep or long dips are what an investor has to sit through.

Monthly returns

Compounded from daily returns, net of costs. Year compounds the months shown; an empty cell lies outside the range. *Partial month.

Daily return series 4 Jan 2000 to 3 Nov 2026, supplied by the provider. Data before 5 Jan 2010 is a backtest: simulated results are a hypothesis, not a promise. Past performance does not predict future returns. Your own results depend on your position sizes, fills and costs.
