Bollinger Band Mean Reversion with RSI and ADX Filters
Summary
The visible strategy description outlines a mean-reversion approach: it looks for price to touch an outer Bollinger Band, checks RSI for an overstretched reading, and uses a candle direction cue to trigger a move back toward the average. An ADX ceiling is intended to restrict trading to range-bound conditions. Risk controls include ATR-scaled targets and stops, with optional partial exits and trailing stops; cooldown, session, and volume filters are also configurable.
The supplied material is an incomplete script excerpt and contains no backtest settings, performance statistics, or complete implementation details. The parameters describe a relatively close first target and a wider stop, while optional partial mode adds a second target. These choices can produce a high proportion of small wins while leaving losses larger, so win rate alone would not establish an edge. Band touches during persistent trends can also continue against the reversal position, and results would depend on market, timeframe, trading costs, and execution.
Key ideas
- The setup seeks reversals after outer Bollinger Band touches, with RSI and candle direction as confirmation.
- An ADX threshold is intended to screen out strongly trending markets.
- ATR multiples define configurable targets and stops, with optional partial exits and trailing protection.
- Cooldown, session, and optional volume filters add constraints to signal frequency.
- The excerpt provides no test results, and persistent trends can undermine the mean-reversion premise.
