Bollinger Bounce Strategy
🎯 Main Idea:
Benefit from the price's tendency to bounce from the outer limits of the Bollinger Bands (upper and lower) when the market is ranging.
🔧 Strategy Settings:
Indicator: Bollinger Bands
Period: 20
Standard Deviation: 2
Time Frame: 1 hour or 4 hours (can be adjusted according to your style)
Helper Indicator: RSI (optional for confirmation)
🟩 Conditions for entering a buy trade:
Price touches or breaks the lower bound of the Bollinger Bands
A reversal candle appears (like a pin bar, hammer, engulfing...)
(Optional) RSI below level 30 (oversold)
Enter after confirming the close above the lower bound
🔹 Target (Take Profit): Middle line (SMA 20) or upper bound
🔹 Stop Loss: Below the last bottom by 5-10 points
🟥 Conditions for entering a sell trade:
Price touches or breaks the upper bound of the Bollinger Bands
Appearance of a bearish reversal candle
(Optional) RSI above level 70 (overbought)
Enter after closing a candle below the upper bound
🔹 Target: Middle line or lower bound
🔹 Stop Loss: Above the last peak by 5-10 points
📌 Visual Example:
In the image: Price touches the upper bound + Reversal candle → Drop towards the average
⚠️ Important Notes:
Do not use this strategy in strong trend situations (upward or downward).
It is preferable to use it when the Bollinger Bands are flat (horizontal).
Combining it with confirmation indicators like RSI or MACD increases accuracy.
If you rebound, how do we use it with RSI and MACD?
