Bollinger Bands Mean Reversion using RSI [Krishna Peri]How it Works
Long entries trigger when:
- RSI reaches oversold levels, and
- At least one bullish candle closes inside the lower Bollinger Band
Short entries trigger when:
- RSI reaches overbought levels, and
- At least one bearish candle closes inside the upper Bollinger Band
This approach aims to capture exhaustion moves where price pushes into extreme deviation from its mean and then snaps back toward the middle band.
Important Disclaimer
This is a mean-reversion strategy, which means it performs best in sideways, ranging, or slowly oscillating market conditions. When markets shift into strong trends, Bollinger Bands expand and volatility increases, which may cause some signals to become inaccurate or fail altogether.
For best results, combine this script with:
- Price action
- Market structure
- Higher-timeframe trend context
- Previous day/week/month highs & lows
- Untested liquidity levels or imbalance zones
- Session timing (Asia, London, NY)
Using these confluences helps filter out low-probability trades and significantly improves consistency and precision.
Rsiindicator
RSI + MACD Multi-Timeframe StrategyThis strategy combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) from the daily timeframe with the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) from the 4-hour timeframe to generate precise long entry and exit signals.
The system uses a multi-timeframe approach to align longer-term trend conditions with shorter-term momentum shifts — allowing traders to catch dips with confirmation and exit before reversals.
🧠 Strategy Logic
✅ Long Entry Condition:
- RSI on the daily (1D) timeframe is oversold (below your defined threshold)
- MACD on the 4H timeframe crosses above the signal line
→ A long trade is opened when these two align
✅ Long Exit Condition:
- RSI on the daily timeframe is overbought
- MACD on the 4H timeframe crosses below the signal line
→ The long trade is closed when these two conditions are met
💡 This strategy currently supports long entries only. Short logic can be added if needed.
📊 Indicator Components
🔹 RSI (Relative Strength Index):
- A momentum oscillator that measures the speed and magnitude of price changes.
- Helps identify overbought (potential sell) and oversold (potential buy) conditions.
- Applied on the 1D timeframe (by default) to reflect broader market trend or exhaustion levels.
🔹 MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
- A trend-following momentum indicator based on moving averages.
- The MACD Line (fast EMA - slow EMA) crossing above the Signal Line indicates bullish momentum.
- Used here on the 4-hour timeframe (by default) for shorter-term momentum confirmation.
🔹 Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Logic:
- Uses request.security() to pull higher timeframe data (1D for RSI, 4H for MACD).
- Ensures no repainting, as it only uses closed candles from the higher timeframe.
- Aligns longer-term signals with shorter-term entries, reducing false signals.
📈 Plotting Options
The script includes a plot selector input allowing you to toggle between:
- RSI Plot (with overbought/oversold lines)
- MACD Plot (MACD line and signal line)
- This helps visualize signal conditions clearly on your chart.
🛠 Customization
- RSI & MACD settings are fully configurable
- RSI and MACD timeframes can be adjusted independently
