What Is a Reversal?

Reversal Statistics

Key Insight: Reversals win less often but pay more. They require larger sample sizes to realize edge.

The Titan Edge

Reversals are where ego meets the market. Everyone wants to call the top or bottom. The professionals don’t predict. they react. They wait for evidence that the trend has ended. They accept smaller position sizes. They use wider stops. And when they’re right, they make 5-10x their risk. That’s the reversal game: survive the losses, capitalize on the wins.
