When the price touches the outer Bollinger Band and RSI confirms an overbought or oversold condition, the bot opens a trade with a fixed Stop Loss and Take Profit. It is optimised for London and New York sessions and is ideal for trending markets.

This algo is configured for GBPJPY  on the 5-minute chart.

The entry logic is based on detecting extreme market conditions:

• A sell trade is executed when the RSI is overbought and the price touches the upper Bollinger Band.
• A buy trade is executed when the RSI is oversold and the price touches the lower Bollinger Band.

This allows the bot to enter short-term pullbacks or trend reversals with a straightforward and optimised setup.

Main Features

• Transparent and customizable logic.
• Compatible with multiple assets and market conditions.
• Fully optimised with consistent backtest results.
• Ideal for traders looking to automate entries based on overbought/oversold zones.

What Results Can It Achieve?

It's essential to recognise that no automated trading system can consistently deliver positive results without active oversight. All trading bots, regardless of the strategy, require an experienced trader to monitor performance, adjust parameters, and make informed decisions based on changing market conditions. They are tools to support trading, not replacements for trader expertise.
