Bollinger Band and RSI Breakout-Reversal Strategy

Summary

This strategy combines a moving-average-based Bollinger Band with RSI signals around a neutral level. It opens a long when a bar moves from below the lower band to a close above it and RSI has crossed above neutral recently. A short uses the corresponding move back below the upper band with a recent RSI cross below neutral. The source allows the moving average type and indicator periods to be configured. It also calculates stop levels, but the active strategy orders do not apply those levels as exits; positions are closed when the position is already open, so the stated stop-loss protection is not implemented as described.

The document frames the setup as a way to combine trend and reversal evidence, while acknowledging parameter-tuning effort, overlap between indicators, and failed breakouts. Published settings use BTC/USDT futures on thirty-minute bars with fifteen-minute base data over about a month. No performance statistics are reported, so the suggested accuracy benefit is unverified. RSI and band crossings may coincide in ways that still produce false entries, particularly around sharp reversals.

Key ideas

• Long entries combine a reclaim of the lower Bollinger Band with a recent bullish RSI cross.
• Short entries combine rejection at the upper band with a recent bearish RSI cross.
• The strategy exposes moving-average type, band, and RSI parameters for tuning.
• Although stop levels are calculated, the supplied order logic does not use them for exits.
• The published backtest settings provide no reported performance results.
