Bollinger Band Breakouts Filtered by an Exponential Moving Average

Summary

This short TradingView strategy uses Bollinger Bands and an exponential moving average to generate directional breakout trades. It goes long when the close is above both the upper band and the EMA, and short when the close is below both the lower band and the EMA. The band and EMA lengths are configurable, as are the ATR lookback and risk/reward multiple.

Stops are placed one ATR from the signal close, with profit targets set at a configurable ATR multiple. The page offers only a brief description of the intended behavior and no backtest results, market specification, or evidence of performance. It mentions quick gains on buys and potentially larger moves in sideways markets, but gives no supporting measurements. Repeated signals, execution assumptions, transaction costs, and how the strategy behaves across timeframes are not discussed, so those claims should not be treated as validated results.

Key ideas

• Long signals require a close above both the upper Bollinger Band and the EMA.
• Short signals require a close below both the lower Bollinger Band and the EMA.
• The stop distance is one ATR from the signal close, while the target uses a configurable risk/reward multiple.
• The document provides no measured backtest evidence to establish performance.
