Nighttime Bollinger Band Mean-Reversion Scalping Across Currency Pairs

Summary

This multi-currency expert advisor describes a nighttime range-trading approach. After a configured start time, it checks whether the Bollinger Band width is below a symbol-specific threshold. It opens a buy when the ask is below the lower band or a sell when the bid is above the upper band, provided there is no existing position for that symbol. Each trade uses configured stop-loss and take-profit distances, and the description says positions are closed at midnight. The examples configure several currency pairs with different band periods, widths, and trading start times; operations are evaluated on a new bar.

The document includes example settings and refers to charts and trading records, including an optimization interval, but supplies no readable performance statistics or methodology for evaluating the results. It does not explain position sizing beyond a fixed lot input, how spread and slippage are handled, or how the midnight exit is reconciled with the shown code’s time condition. The author presents the advisor as a tool for assistance and strategy development, so the examples should not be treated as evidence of robust live performance.

Key ideas

• The advisor fades moves beyond the Bollinger Bands when band width is below a configured ceiling.
• Trading begins after a symbol-specific start time and allows at most one open position per symbol.
• Trades use configured stop-loss and take-profit distances, with a stated midnight close rule.
• The sample settings vary band parameters and times across currency pairs.
• The document shows no performance statistics and leaves execution assumptions and a time-condition inconsistency unresolved.
