Buy-the-dip (Bollinger + RSI) strategy

Two-condition confluence: lower-band stretch AND oversold RSI before taking the dip.

Market fit

Strong directional trends

Filtered, selective

Entry rules

  • Long-side ladder: close crosses down through any of the three Fib levels while Blackflag state = +1 (uptrend).
  • Short-side ladder mirrors above the Fib levels while state = -1.
  • First trigger wins; the trailing stop handles re-entry cadence.
  • Close is below the lower Bollinger band AND
  • RSI(14) is below 35 β€” momentum confirms the price stretch.

Exit rules

  • SuperTrend regime flips through zero in either direction β€” the framework routes the matching exit to the active position.
  • 4% trailing stop locks in the run; 2-bar cooldown after exit.
  • Close returns above the 20-bar mean (the middle band).
  • Hard 3% stop; 5% take-profit.

Expected behavior

Calm during chop because no regime is established; bursts of activity when a clean trend prints and price wicks into the Fib zone. Pullback re-entries cluster around the trail line, so the equity curve looks like staircase steps inside each trend leg.

Fewer trades than either rule alone β€” the AND filter is strict β€” but higher conviction per signal. Long flat periods waiting for the two conditions to align, then a cluster of trades during real selloffs.
