Using Bollinger Band Stops as a Trend Signal on RSI

Summary

This indicator adapts Bollinger Band Stops for use with an RSI series. The original stops indicator can support stop-loss placement using values on the price chart; this RSI version lacks those on-chart values and is instead presented as a trend-direction signal line applied to RSI.

It can be paired with several RSI variants, including Cutler’s RSI, Ehlers’ smoothed RSI, Harris’ RSI, Rapid RSI, RSX, and Slow RSI. The document also mentions built-in alerts, multi-time-frame support, and features inherited from the basic stops indicator. It does not explain the calculation, parameter choices, signal rules, or how to evaluate performance, so the description alone is insufficient to establish whether the method improves trading decisions.

Key ideas

• The indicator applies Bollinger Band Stops to an RSI series.
• It is presented as a trend signal line rather than a price-chart stop-loss tool.
• Several RSI variants can be used as inputs.
• Alerts and multi-time-frame features are included, but no performance evidence or detailed signal rules are provided.
