Strategy:
The main idea of the indicator is to detect sharp deviations from the average line and at the moment of return, the indicator will give a signal to return to the average value
The indicator is presented as three lines. The middle line is the moving average. The upper and lower lines are the middle lines shifted by a certain number of deviations (for example, by 2), the magnitude of the deviations is regulated by volatility. The width of the bands is adjusted based on volatility, the width decreases during the most stable periods. Bollinger bands create a corridor within which 95% should be prices and only 5% go beyond
The recommended period is from 13 to 24, the most common is 20
The recommended deviation is from 2 to 5, the more popular value is 2 or 3
Market Entry:
The EA trades on the return of the price to the average value. That is, after the candle leaves the channel, the adviser will trade in the direction of the price returning back to the average value
When the price breaks through the lower lines from below and comes back, it is a signal to buy. When the price breaks the upper line and comes back, it is a sell signal.
Exit from a position:
After the adviser opens an order:
1 - If the position goes in a profitable direction, then the trailing stop is activated. The position will be closed using the smart trailing system
2 - If the position goes into a loss-making direction, then the averaging function is applied using pending orders
