//BTFDBot Swing Trading Strategy: Super Oversold from a 52 Week Low
//What it looks for? A 52 week low followed by the stock plunging another 20%.
//If it's a quality stock (or even junk) the probability of a 5-6% bounce is extremely high.
//Check my YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@simpleswingtrading/
//And my Substack: https://simpleswingtrading.substack.com/
//For the latest Super Oversold buy signals for US stocks go to BTFDBot.com
//You can also screen US stocks for this signal on FinViz but you can't do it on the free account.
//You will need to register for an Elite account:

//Remember this is a RARE signal but has an EXTREMELY HIGH win rate on QUALITY stocks
//As with all my signals be wary of instruments that are in or coming off an obvious bubble.
//This script is not financial advice and is for entertainment purposes only so use at your own risk.
//
//Good backtesting stocks for this script: OLN, ARE, CE, SHOO, KSS
//2008 backtesting: Barclays (BARC) 1990+ Land Securities (LAND) 1990+
//
//Settings: just play around with them but be wary of curve fitting.
//With ETFs/super high quality stocks a 52 week low followed by a 5-7% drop may work better.
//You will get more signals but this will reduce the win rate.

Overview

Super Oversold (52 Week Low Version) calculates a target threshold located a specified percentage below the period low and triggers a buy entry when price plunges to this oversold level. The script plots the lowest low line, target price level, and entry/exit shape markers directly on the price chart. Exits occur when reaching a percentage profit target, hitting a percentage stop loss, or timing out after designated calendar day waiting periods.
