Reversal with Bollinger Bands + RSI + ADX + ATR (Upgraded)

The Reversal with Bollinger Bands + RSI + ADX + ATR (Upgraded) indicator is a comprehensive strategy tool designed to identify high-probability reversal and breakout entries by filtering price action through volatility, momentum, and trend strength filters. It aims to capture mean-reversion moves in ranging markets and momentum shifts in trending environments while maintaining strict alignment with long-term trends using dual EMAs.

Usage

This script can be used in three distinct modes: Reversal, Breakout, or Both.

• Reversal Mode: Focuses on mean reversion. The script looks for price to touch or exceed the Bollinger Bands, followed by a reversal candlestick pattern. Entries are filtered by the ADX to ensure the market is not over-trending and by the RSI/Stochastic to ensure momentum is within specific ranging bounds.
• Breakout Mode: Focuses on trend following. Signals are triggered when price closes outside the Bollinger Bands during high ADX readings, indicating strong trend strength.
• Trend Filtering: Regardless of the mode, the script uses a 100 and 200 EMA filter. Long trades are only permitted when price is above both EMAs, and short trades are only permitted when price is below both EMAs.
• Exits: Positions can be closed based on opposite Bollinger Band touches combined with reversal candles, or through a volatility-based trailing stop derived from the ATR.

Details

The script integrates several classic technical analysis concepts into a unified logic:

• Bollinger Bands: Serve as the primary volatility envelope for identifying "overextended" price levels or breakout points.
• ADX (Average Directional Index): Used as a regime filter. Low ADX values suggest a ranging market (ideal for reversals), while high ADX values suggest a trending market (ideal for breakouts).
• RSI & Stochastic: Provide secondary confirmation of momentum to prevent entering reversals too early during strong trending moves.
• ATR (Average True Range): Used to calculate dynamic stop losses and trailing stops that adjust based on market volatility, helping to protect capital during adverse price swings.

Settings

Strategy

• Active Strategies: Select between "Reversal", "Breakout", or "Both" to determine which logic triggers trades.
• ATR Multiplier: Sets the distance of the stop loss relative to the ATR value.

Indicators

• EMA1 / EMA2 Input: Adjusts the periods for the two Exponential Moving Averages used for trend filtering.

Ranging / Trending Indicators

• Stochastic/RSI Max & Min: Defines the specific momentum thresholds required for an entry signal to be valid in ranging or trending states.
• ADX Max/Min Value: Sets the boundary for what the script considers "ranging" (Max) versus "trending" (Min).

Component Settings

• ADX Smoothing/DI Length: Controls the calculation period for the ADX indicator.
• BB Length/Source/StdDev: Configures the Bollinger Bands parameters.
• ATR Length/Lookback: Configures the ATR calculation and the lookback period used for structural stop losses.
