Auto Trade With Bollinger Bands Strategy

This strategy uses Bollinger Bands, RSI and Stochastic oscillator to automatically open trades during a specified GMT time window. A short position is opened when the previous candle closes above the upper Bollinger Band while RSI is above 75 and Stochastic %K is above 85. A long position is opened when the candle closes below the lower Bollinger Band with RSI below 25 and Stochastic %K below 155. Only one position per direction is allowed. A trailing stop in points protects open positions.

Parameters

  • OpenBuy – enable opening long positions.
  • OpenSell – enable opening short positions.
  • GmtTradeStart – trading start hour in GMT (exclusive).
  • GmtTradeStop – trading stop hour in GMT (exclusive).
  • BbPeriod – period for Bollinger Bands.
  • RsiPeriod – period for RSI indicator.
  • StochKPeriod – %K period for Stochastic oscillator.
  • StochDPeriod – %D period for Stochastic oscillator.
  • StochSlowing – smoothing factor for Stochastic oscillator.
  • TrailingStop – trailing stop distance in points.
  • CandleType – candle timeframe used for calculations.
