Bollinger Band Breakouts Filtered by RSI Thresholds

Summary

This strategy uses a 20-period moving average with bands set two standard deviations away, alongside a 14-period RSI. The source enters long when price crosses above the upper band and RSI is above the oversold threshold of 20; it closes the long when price crosses back below the upper band while RSI is above 70. The prose describes these rules as seeking turning points through a combination of volatility bands and RSI extremes, though the entry condition is a band breakout rather than a lower-band pullback.

The example is configured for BTC/USDT Binance futures on daily bars from January 2023 to January 2024. No trade statistics or comparative results are supplied. The description warns that indicator lag, repeated signals in choppy markets, and fixed RSI thresholds can limit performance, and suggests tuning parameters or adding a stop loss. The source includes inputs for counting candles outside the bands, but does not use them in its entry or exit conditions.

Key ideas

• The bands are based on a 20-period average and two standard deviations.
• The entry rule crosses above the upper band with RSI above 20.
• The exit closes the long after a downward upper-band crossing with RSI above 70.
• The candle-count inputs are not used by the supplied trading rules.
• No performance results are provided, and the indicators may lag or generate noisy signals.
