This strategy is a momentum reversal trading system combining RSI and Bollinger Bands indicators, designed to identify overbought and oversold areas. It implements a 1:2 risk-reward ratio with trailing stop loss for risk management. The core logic is to execute trades when both RSI and Bollinger Bands show oversold or overbought signals simultaneously, protecting capital through strict risk management.
The strategy utilizes a 14-period RSI and 20-period Bollinger Bands as primary indicators. Buy conditions require both: RSI below 30 (oversold) and price at or below the lower Bollinger Band. Sell conditions require both: RSI above 70 (overbought) and price at or above the upper Bollinger Band. The system uses 5-bar high/low points for trailing stops, with take profit set at twice the stop loss distance, strictly maintaining a 1:2 risk-reward ratio.
This is a well-structured reversal trading strategy that enhances accuracy through dual technical indicators and employs strict risk management. While simple and intuitive, it contains all key elements required for a mature trading system. Through the suggested optimization directions, the strategy has room for further improvement. For live trading, thorough backtesting and parameter optimization are recommended.
