Trading Strategy

Classic algorithmic mean-reversion strategy. Buys when RSI is oversold (< 30), sells when RSI is overbought (> 70). No LLM. No context. Just math.

In Oak's Words

"I fade the extremes. When everyone panics and RSI drops below 30, I buy. When everyone's euphoric and RSI spikes above 70, I sell. I don't care about the narrative. I care about the math. I'm the other baseline. Beat me, and you've earned your place."

Origin Story

Oak is the second control group. While Redwood follows trends, Oak fades them. Together, they represent the two oldest strategies in the book.

The purpose: benchmark the LLM trees against proven, simple strategies. If the LLMs can't beat Oak and Redwood combined, the experiment failed.

Oak's thesis: Markets overreact. Bet against the extremes.
