English translation:putting on contrarian bets (mean reversion)

Explanation:
Or 'trades' in place of bets, because that's how they're doing the betting.

The 'retour à la moyenne' is not about average return but about the market equilibrium point moving back towards the long-term trend. They're betting the market is not on a 'random walk' but will 'revert to the mean'.

Actually, here it would be "la mise en oeuvre de XXX" = "the implementation of XXX".
