Trend Following with Bollinger, Quantile, and Power-Law Bands

Summary

This long-only trend strategy combines Bollinger Bands, price quantiles, and power-law bands to describe volatility, relative extremes, and potential support or resistance zones. Its main trigger is whether price remains above the lower standard-deviation line around the upper quantile band. Consecutive-bar confirmation settings can delay entry or exit until the trigger condition persists. The many optional inputs control band visibility and moving-average references as well as core parameters.

The document describes the indicator concept and provides a backtest configuration for BNB/USDT over roughly a year, but gives no returns, trade counts, or comparison against a benchmark. The supplied strategy logic enters long when the trigger holds and closes when it fails; it does not show the stop-loss mechanism claimed in the prose. The authors identify lag, excess signals in sideways markets, parameter sensitivity, computational demands, and possible breakdown of statistical patterns in extreme conditions as limitations.

Key ideas

• The strategy overlays Bollinger, quantile, and power-law bands to characterize price ranges and extremes.
• Price above the upper quantile band’s lower deviation line is the stated bullish trigger.
• Consecutive-bar requirements can confirm both entries and exits, filtering brief moves at the cost of delay.
• The document supplies a backtest setup but no performance evidence, and its displayed order logic does not specify a stop loss.
