RSI and Moving Average Reversal Strategy with Bollinger Band Filters

Summary

This strategy combines RSI, moving averages, and Bollinger Bands to seek reversal entries while filtering signals by trend and price location. It describes a long entry when price crosses above a long-term average while RSI is very low, and a short entry when RSI is high and price is below that average. Exit conditions use short moving-average relationships. Bollinger Bands are presented as a way to gauge relative price extremes and possible support or resistance.

The document discusses possible false RSI signals, lagging averages and bands, and sensitivity to short-term noise. It suggests exploring different RSI and exit-average settings or adding other indicators. A brief BTC perpetual futures backtest configuration is included, but no performance statistics are reported; the source code also does not implement the stated Bollinger Band filter, so its role in actual execution is unclear.

Key ideas

• The long setup pairs an upward cross of a long-term average with a very low RSI reading.
• The short setup uses high RSI and price weakness relative to the long-term average.
• Short moving averages define exits from positions.
• Bollinger Bands are described as a support and resistance filter, though the supplied strategy code does not use them.
• The document gives no backtest performance results and flags lagging signals and market noise as limitations.
