Scored Oversold Pullback Entries with RSI, Bollinger Bands, and Moving Averages

Summary

This strategy combines Bollinger Band position, long moving averages, and RSI into a score for identifying oversold conditions. A close below the lower band adds a point; being below progressively longer averages adds up to 1.5 points; and lower RSI readings earn higher scores. The system begins monitoring when the total reaches 2, then waits for the score to stop rising for a configured number of bars and for price to close above a short moving average before entering long. It supports repeated entries and provides an alert on entry.

The document gives indicator rules and code, but no backtest results or quantified evidence that the signals are profitable. Despite describing the confirmation period in days, the logic counts chart bars, so its timing depends on the chart interval. It also closes all positions on the final bar, which affects strategy-report interpretation, and the claimed scale-in behavior should be assessed against the actual order sizing and platform settings.

Key ideas

• The score combines lower-band breaks, price below long moving averages, and oversold RSI readings.
• Monitoring starts when the combined score reaches the configured threshold of 2.
• An entry requires the score to stop increasing for the required number of bars and price to recover above a short moving average.
• The strategy allows pyramiding and alerts when its entry conditions are met.
• The document provides no performance evidence, and the confirmation counter counts bars rather than calendar days.
