Product Description
BB RSI Mean Reversion Pro for MT5
BB RSI Mean Reversion Pro is a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor designed to trade mean reversion opportunities using Bollinger Bands and RSI confirmation. It is built for traders who want a rules-based approach to identifying stretched price conditions and entering when price begins to move back toward equilibrium.
This EA looks for price closing outside the Bollinger Bands and then confirms a reversion setup with RSI before placing a market order. It also includes optional trade management features such as trailing stop, break-even logic, session filtering, and an optional weekly Donchian Channel filter to help avoid weaker setups.
The strategy is best suited to major forex pairs that respond well to mean reversion behavior. Recommended pairs are:
- EURUSD
- GBPUSD
- USDCHF
Recommended starting timeframe:
- H4
JPY pairs are not recommended for this strategy.

Also make sure MT5 global EA permissions are enabled:
- click the Algo Trading button on the MT5 toolbar so it is active
- go to Tools > Options > Expert Advisors

Once attached correctly:
- the EA name should appear on the chart

Before trading live, test the EA on a demo account and make sure:
- symbol and timeframe are correct
- lot size is appropriate
- broker conditions are acceptable
- your risk settings match your account size
Troubleshooting
The EA attaches and then disappears
Usually caused by one of these:
- Algo Trading is turned off
- terminal Expert Advisor permissions are disabled
- invalid input values were entered
The EA is on the chart but does not trade
Check:
- chart symbol is one of the recommended pairs
- timeframe is H4
- trading permissions are enabled
- market conditions match the entry rules
- session filter is not blocking trades
- Donchian filter is not too restrictive
Backtest results differ from live results
This can happen because of:
- spread differences
- broker execution differences
- market regime changes
- different symbol settings
- different session timing
