Bollinger Channel H1

A clean, rule-based Bollinger Channel strategy designed for disciplined trend-entry and risk management on the H1 timeframe.

Bollinger Channel H1 combines two independent Bollinger-style channel calculations to identify potential long and short entry opportunities. The strategy uses different periods and volatility multipliers for each direction, allowing the long and short sides to respond differently to market conditions.

Key Features

• Dual-Channel Entry Logic — Separate channel parameters for long and short signals.

• H1-Focused Strategy — Designed for structured trading on the hourly timeframe.

• Direct Order Execution — Automatically opens and manages positions when conditions are met.

• Built-In Stop Loss — Every trade is protected by a predefined percentage-based stop loss.

• Fixed Take Profit — Automatically locks in gains when the target profit level is reached.

• Dynamic Trailing Exit — Once a trade reaches the trailing activation threshold, the strategy tracks the highest floating profit and closes the position when the predefined pullback occurs.

• Margin Protection — Checks available free margin before opening a position.

• Single-Position Logic — Designed to manage one strategy position at a time for the selected symbol and Magic Number.

How It Works

Long Entry:
A long position is considered when price crosses above the upper Bollinger channel calculated from the long-term parameters.

Short Entry:
A short position is considered when price crosses below the lower Bollinger channel calculated from the short-term parameters.

After entry, each position is managed using its own risk-management settings, including Stop Loss, Take Profit, and trailing-profit protection.
