Buy-the-dip (Bollinger + RSI) strategy

Trend followingLong & short

TradingView SuperTrend strategy

Classic ATR-band trail β€” long when the trend flips up, short when it flips down.

Indicators

  • Bollinger Bands (period 20, Οƒ Γ— 2)
  • RSI (period 14)
  • SuperTrend (ATR 10, factor 3.0)

Timeframes

Bias

Long only

Long & short

Market fit

Filtered, selective

Strong directional trends

Entry rules

  • Close is below the lower Bollinger band AND
  • RSI(14) is below 35 β€” momentum confirms the price stretch.
  • Long the bar after state crosses up through zero.
  • Short the bar after state crosses down through zero.

Exit rules

  • Close returns above the 20-bar mean (the middle band).
  • Hard 3% stop; 5% take-profit.
  • Any state flip closes the active position.
  • 4% trailing stop on the runner; 2-bar cooldown.

Expected behavior

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.

Trend-friendly equity curve β€” clean in directional regimes, whipsaws in chop. The 10/3.0 default fires frequently on intraday timeframes and less often on daily candles.
