Method is similar to what I am using, problem is it just works for seasoned traders who can further filter the entries. In any case you can't know how much anomaly will go (doesn't matter how many linear regression levels you'll draw, they don't have any information, except that you're, let's say, buying anything from the left of distribution with expectation it will eventually reverse to zero) and it will create trouble handling drawdowns.
