Squeeze fade (SQUEEZE-FADE)

How the setup is identified

Identifies a volatility squeeze — Bollinger Bands contracting inside a Keltner Channel — and fades the boundaries.

Status and evidence

Zero fires — extreme dead-tape only.

What we learned

Zero fires. The squeeze condition is a real and well-documented observation about volatility clustering; it simply does not occur on gold during the hours we trade.

Note also that the classical use of a squeeze is to anticipate expansion, not to fade it. Fading a squeeze is the contrarian reading, and it never got the chance to be tested either way.
