Bollinger Band and Moving Average v0.1 by JustUncleLThis is another Bollinger Band strategy+indicator in my series of Bollinger based setups. This one is seems to work best with 5min charts and 20 to 30min expiry. The strategy follows variation of a Bollinger band + Moving Averages
reversal strategy, it uses the 2 moving averages mainly to determine market direction.
Reversal
[NM] Reversal Candles v01Reversal candles are a very easy way to identify a turn in trend, this indicator has some specific additional conditions for the reversal candle.
BUY Signal reversal candle
Low of current candle exceeds low of previous candle
Low of current candle is lowest for last 7 candles
High of current candle exceeds high of previous candle
Close of current candle is in the upper 50% of the range of this candle
SELL Signal reversal candle
High of current candle exceeds high of previous candle
High of current candle is Highest for last 7 candles
Low of current candle exceeds low of previous candle

How do I trade it ? (example buy signal)
Wait for close of the candle and the BUY signal
Put a buy stop entry 5 pips above the high of the candle
Put a stop loss 5 pips below the low of the candle
Calculate difference between entry and stop loss and set your target that number of pips above the entry for a 1:1 RR trade*
Wait for your your target or stop loss to be triggered
* Alternatively, you can take 50% of the profit at the 1st (1:1 RR) profit target, move your stop to break even and let the rest of the position run for a higher potential profit.
Further advice on use
Personally I always look for some additional confirmation like a support or resistance level, a bounce of the EMA or a fibonacci level, but please feel free to add additional filters to make the strategy even more effective. I would strongly advise to backtest your strategy first so you can fine tune it and have confidence in trading it. Forward testing on a demo account before going live, although it takes longer, can be a worthy alternative. Works better on higher time frames.

Triple Bollinger BandsI found myself using multiple bollinger bands a lot so I decided to add them all to one script and add the ability to adjust them by 0.2. It has helped me by not taking up as much space in the upper left corner as well as improving my in's and outs of trend continuation trades. If you manage to find a double top at +2 or greater deviation, and with a bearish divergence on the RSI as shown in this picture, GO SHORT SON! This was a fast and easy 35 - 40 pips and if you used your fibonacci for an exit you had little doubt of the final result and could have even been prepared for an immediate reversal knowing you were then at an oversold -2.8 deviation. I could go on and on........
Reversal Candle Pattern SetUp
An outside reversal candle set up script with buy/sell signals. Looks simple but it's pretty powerful especially if combined with your choice confirming indicator.
The pattern psychology is this one (Frank Ochoa explanation): " The power behind this pattern lies in the psychology behind the traders involved in this setup. If you have ever participated in a breakout at support or resistance only to have the market reverse sharply against you, then you are familiar with the market dynamics of this setup.
[Basically, market participants are testing the waters above resistance or below support to make sure there is no new business to be done at these levels. When no initiative buyers or sellers participate in range extension, responsive participants have all the information they need to reverse price back toward a new area of perceived value.
As you look at a bullish outside reversal pattern, you will notice that the current bar's low is lower than the
prior bar's low. Essentially, the market is testing the waters below recently established lows to see if a downside
follow-through will occur. When no additional selling pressure enters the market, the result is a flood of buying
pressure that causes a springboard effect, thereby shooting price above the prior bar's highs and creating the
beginning of a bullish advance."
Naked Forex Trading StrategyBased on "How Naked Trading Works" video by Walter Peters: youtu.be I don't know this person and I am in no way affiliated with him. I just found his video interesting enough to make this into a script.
Rules as described by Walter in his video:
1. if current candle makes a higher high than the previous one
2. and is a bearish engulfing candle
3. and has room to the left
4. and is the largest candle (high - low) compared to the last 7-10 previous ones
Then open trade on the next candle once it breaks bearish engulfing candle's low and take profit close above previous support. Stop loss goes a few pips above bearish engulfing candle high
Do the opposite on a bullish engulfing candle signal.
Works best on 1H, 4H and 1D timeframes.
I haven't done any extensive backtesting on this, but it looks like it gives pretty good signals:
3-Bar-Reversal-Pattern Strategy This startegy based on 3-day pattern reversal described in "Are Three-Bar
Patterns Reliable For Stocks" article by Thomas Bulkowski, presented in
January,2000 issue of Stocks&Commodities magazine.
That pattern conforms to the following rules:
- It uses daily prices, not intraday or weekly prices;
- The middle day of the three-day pattern has the lowest low of the three days, with no ties allowed;
- The last day must have a close above the prior day's high, with no ties allowed;
- Each day must have a nonzero trading range.
