Strategy patterns
Buy the dip
Buy after a fall of a set size, from a recent high or over a few days, and sell on a rebound, a time limit or a stop.
What it is
A dip rule names the fall in plain numbers: a drop of so much in a day, or a price so far below its recent high.
It needs a way out. Common ones are a gain of a set size since the purchase, a set number of days, or a stop.

The evidence explorer runs rules like these across fixed sets of US, UK and European shares and funds, with the same costs throughout, and sets each beside simply holding. See the combined conditions tests.
What to watch for
- A dip can be the start of a longer fall. The way out decides how long the rule waits, and what it costs when the fall keeps going.
- A rule with only a gain target and no stop can hold a falling share for a long time.
