Bollinger-Keltner Squeeze Entries with DMI Direction Signals
Summary
This strategy combines Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels, a squeeze momentum value, and directional movement signals. It enters long when the squeeze condition is on and the positive directional indicator crosses above the negative one while the momentum value crosses above zero. The short entry uses the inverse crossings. Positions are closed when the squeeze condition turns off, making the channel relationship part of both entry context and exit logic.
The document describes the indicators and offers possible extensions such as volatility-aware exits, position sizing, and parameter adaptation. It includes a BTC perpetual futures backtest configuration spanning roughly a year, but supplies no return, risk, or comparison statistics, so the configuration alone does not establish effectiveness. The prose describes broad channel breakouts, while the provided entry conditions specifically require a squeeze state and simultaneous directional and momentum crossovers. The strategy may also trade frequently or produce false signals in choppy markets, and its parameters would need evaluation across assets and regimes.
Key ideas
- Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels are used together to identify periods when price is compressed.
- Long and short entries require aligned directional indicator crossovers and a squeeze momentum value crossing zero.
- Positions are closed when the squeeze condition ends.
- The document proposes position sizing, parameter adaptation, and improved stop logic as extensions.
- A backtest setup is listed, but no performance results are reported.
