RSI and Bollinger Band Entries with Optional DCA

Summary

This long-only BTC futures approach combines a 14-period RSI with 20-period Bollinger Bands and optional dollar-cost averaging. A buy setup occurs when price falls below the lower band while RSI remains above 42; a sell setup requires price above the upper band and RSI above 70. When enabled, DCA entries are restricted by an hourly timing condition. The stated parameters include a 6.604% stop and a 2.328% profit target, calculated from average position price.

The document gives backtest settings for BTC/USDT futures from March 2023 to March 2024 but provides no performance results. The source's DCA interval controls entry timing, while its strategy declaration sets pyramiding to zero, so repeated accumulation may not behave as the prose suggests. The exit call is also conditioned on the sell signal, which affects when the stop and target orders are placed. The document warns that frequent DCA can raise costs and that indicator thresholds and exit distances may fit some market conditions poorly.

Key ideas

• The long entry combines price below the lower Bollinger Band with RSI above 42.
• The exit signal combines price above the upper band with RSI above 70.
• Optional DCA entries depend on an hourly schedule, while the source disallows pyramiding.
• The stated stop and profit target are 6.604% and 2.328% from average entry price.
• The published BTC futures test reports settings but no performance statistics.
