RSI and Bollinger Bands Retracement

Description

Sell when RSI is overbought and price crossed top Bollinger Bands line. Buy when RSI is oversold and price crossed bottom Bollinger Bands line.

 

This is the implementation of the strategy described in this video:

RESULTS ARE NOT AS PROMISED IN THE VIDEO :)

Entry for Sell:

  • Candle closes above Bollinger Bands top line
  • RSI is in overbought area (above 70)
  • Waiting for next candle to go down
  • Sell when that down candle closes

Entry for Buy uses opposite signals.

As there was no description for the exit strategy, added following rules to close positions:

  • Stop Loss level will be set as the difference between Bollinger Bands lines: Top - Main lines for Sell and Main-Bottom line for Buy
  • Position closes when price crosses opposite Bollinger Bands line (Bottom for Sell, Top for Buy)

The trading volume is 10000. I want to use 0.01 lot but it won't allow it.

Hi, I do like what you have done, i have been working on a similar bot with another code for MT5 which lead to excellent results, i would like to ask you if you would like to consider a discussion to be able to modify the code you have done to provide better results. let me know 

bave.rowe28@gmail.com 

looking forward to hearing from you
