Bollinger Bands Reversal EA for MetaTrader 5
Introduction:
The Bollinger Bands Reversal EA for MetaTrader 5 is an automated trading tool tailored to capture trading opportunities based on Bollinger Bands' reversal conditions. This EA executes buy or sell trades upon detecting a bullish reversal near the lower band or a bearish reversal near the upper band. A bullish reversal is identified 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. Conversely, a bearish reversal is recognized for the opposite scenario.
