Bollinger Percent B Reversion

This approach fades price extremes beyond the Bollinger Bands using the Percent B indicator. Moves above the upper band or below the lower band suggest overextension.

Testing indicates an average annual return of about 142%. It performs best in the stocks market.

When percent B is less than zero or greater than one, the system bets on a return to the middle of the band. An exit threshold closes trades once momentum normalizes.

Stops are placed at a fixed percentage from entry.

Details

  • Entry Criteria: Percent B outside the 0–1 range.
  • Long/Short: Both directions.
  • Exit Criteria: Percent B crosses ExitValue or stop.
  • Stops: Yes.
  • Default Values:
    • BollingerPeriod = 20
    • BollingerDeviation = 2.0m
    • ExitValue = 0.5m
    • StopLossPercent = 2.0m
    • CandleType = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5)
  • Filters:
    • Category: Mean Reversion
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: Bollinger Bands
    • Stops: Yes
    • Complexity: Basic
    • Timeframe: Intraday
    • Seasonality: No
    • Neural Networks: No
    • Divergence: No
    • Risk Level: Medium
