Swing forex strategy 15min

The Swing forex strategy 15min indicator is a mean-reversion trading system that combines Bollinger Bands and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to identify potential swing entries on the 15-minute timeframe.

Usage

The strategy is designed to capture reversals when price action and momentum align after reaching extreme levels. It is particularly optimized for major Forex pairs on lower timeframes.

• Long Entry: Occurs when the price closes back above the lower Bollinger Band while the RSI crosses above the oversold threshold.
• Short Entry: Occurs when the price closes back below the upper Bollinger Band while the RSI crosses below the overbought threshold.
• Exits: The strategy uses a "flip" mechanism where a long position is closed when a short entry condition is met, and vice versa.

Users can visualize these setups through automated bar coloring and background highlights when the confluence conditions are met.

Details

The script utilizes a high-period Bollinger Band (default 200) to establish a long-term mean and volatility range, while a fast RSI (default 6) tracks immediate momentum shifts. By requiring price to cross back into the Bollinger envelope from an "outside" position simultaneously with an RSI recovery, the strategy attempts to filter out premature entries during strong trending moves.
