Bollinger Band Limit Entries with Moving-Average Exits

Summary

This strategy places limit orders near the lower and upper Bollinger Bands, seeking long positions below the lower band and short positions above the upper band. It uses a moving-average basis as the exit reference and includes percentage-based stop orders. The source also specifies spread rounding, pyramiding limits, and position sizing based on equity. Although described as market making, the rules are closer to band-based mean reversion; no explicit model of spread capture or maker execution is demonstrated.

The document claims exceptional profitability for a different contract and month than the published BTC/USDT futures backtest configuration, but it supplies no return, risk, or trade statistics to support that claim. The rules may be vulnerable to sustained trends, false band signals, execution costs, and arbitrary stop distances. Parameter testing and additional filters are suggested, but no evidence is given that these changes improve results.

Key ideas

• Limit orders seek longs near the lower Bollinger Band and shorts near the upper band.
• The moving-average basis provides a reference for closing positions.
• Percentage-based stops, spread rounding, and a pyramiding limit are included in the implementation.
• The document provides no performance statistics, and its profitability claim is not substantiated by the listed backtest configuration.
