Bollinger Band Entries with Moving Average Direction and Trailing Exits

Summary

The strategy combines a moving average direction filter with entries tied to Bollinger Bands. It uses a short simple moving average relative to a longer one to choose long or short direction, then looks for price to cross the lower band for entries. The source calculates RSI and ADX-related values, but these do not appear to affect the entry conditions. Exits use trailing parameters and are triggered by a moving average crossover against the position.

The document reports a claimed success rate above 75% and an account-growth anecdote, but supplies no supporting trade list or verifiable performance analysis. Its published backtest settings cover a short period on BTC/USD, which is insufficient on its own to establish robustness. The introductory description emphasizes Bollinger squeezes, volume, and price action, although the shown entry logic does not include a squeeze or volume test. Results would also depend on execution assumptions and market regime, so the promotional performance claims should not be treated as established evidence.

Key ideas

• The shown entries combine a moving average direction test with a crossing of the lower Bollinger Band.
• The code calculates RSI and ADX-related measures, but does not use them in the displayed entry rules.
• Trailing exits are conditional on a moving average crossover against the open position.
• The document’s win-rate and account-growth claims are unsupported by detailed performance evidence.
• The published BTC/USD test window is short and does not establish performance across market conditions.
