Bollinger Bands Reversal EA
Introduction:
The Bollinger Bands Reversal EA is an automated tool designed to capitalize on trading opportunities based on Bollinger Bands' reversal conditions. This EA triggers buy or sell trades upon identifying a bullish reversal near the lower band or a bearish reversal near the upper band. A bullish reversal occurs when the previous candle closes below the lower band, and the current candle closes above the lower band, transitioning from a red to a green candle. Vice versa for a bearish reversal.
