Indicator Strategies (RSI, MA, Bollinger)

Indicator-based strategies use mathematical calculations applied to price data to generate trading signals. Here are ideas for common indicator-based approaches.

Multi-MA Trend Strategy

Uses three moving averages (20, 50, 200 EMA) for trend identification. Enter long when the 20 is above the 50, both above the 200. Enter short in the opposite alignment. This identifies strong trends and filters out choppy conditions.

RSI Divergence Strategy

Instead of using RSI levels, this strategy looks for divergences between price and RSI. When price makes a new low but RSI makes a higher low, it signals a potential reversal. This is a more sophisticated use of RSI.

Bollinger Band Squeeze Strategy

When Bollinger Bands contract (squeeze), it indicates low volatility that often precedes a breakout. This strategy enters when bands squeeze to their tightest point in 20 bars and price breaks above the upper band (or below the lower band).

MACD + RSI Confluence Strategy

Combines MACD for trend direction and RSI for timing. Enter long when MACD is positive and RSI pulls back below 40 then crosses back above. This filters entries to only take trades in the direction of momentum with good timing.
