Bollinger Bands Relative Strength Index Alert

Bollinger Bands (BB) + Relative Strength Index (RSI) + Alert

Many traders are interested in the Reversal Strategy. The indicators Bollinger Bands (BB) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) are suitable for this strategy.

The indicator offered here combines Bollinger Bands (BB) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to get pop-up and sound alerts. This supports you especially when trading multiple currency pairs.

For this strategy a periodicity of for example >30 minutes could be appropriate.

There are three different levels on which an alert can be activated:

• 1. Level: The Relative Strength Index is above or below values that can be set in the indicator window. The default is 31 and 69.
• 2. Level: The Relative Strength Index is above or below the values (Level 1) and one of the Bollinger bands is hit by a bar. Breaking through the Bollinger Bands often leads to a reversal movement.
  
• 3. Level: The Relative Strength Index is above or below the values and one of the Bollinger Bands is hit by a bar. For the 3rd level I added additional values with which allow you to add a higher or lower Relative Strength Index. The default is 20 and 80. This allows you to respond to events that occur less frequently but give you a higher chance of winning.

The alerts for each level can be activated or deactivated separately.
