Bollinger Volume Strategy

Strategy that uses Bollinger Bands breakouts with volume confirmation. Enters positions when price breaks above/below Bollinger Bands with increased volume.

Testing indicates an average annual return of about 178%. It performs best in the stocks market.

Bollinger bands show volatility expansion and volume confirms the breakout. Positions are taken when price closes outside a band with strong activity.

Suited for breakout players expecting continuation. A stop based on ATR keeps losses manageable.

Details

  • Entry Criteria:
    • Long: Close > UpperBand && Volume > AvgVolume * VolumeMultiplier
    • Short: Close < LowerBand && Volume > AvgVolume * VolumeMultiplier
  • Long/Short: Both
  • Exit Criteria:
    • Price returns to middle band
  • Stops: ATR-based using StopLossAtr
  • Default Values:
    • BollingerPeriod = 20
    • BollingerDeviation = 2.0m
    • VolumePeriod = 20
    • VolumeMultiplier = 1.5m
    • StopLossAtr = 2.0m
    • AtrPeriod = 14
    • CandleType = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5).TimeFrame()
  • Filters:
    • Category: Mean reversion
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: Bollinger Bands, Volume
    • Stops: Yes
    • Complexity: Intermediate
    • Timeframe: Mid-term
