Bollinger Pair Trade

Script from: TradingViewSwingScalpingMomentumVolatilityBotMean reversion

The Bollinger Pair Trade involves entering positions based on the lower and upper Bollinger bands, ideally with cointegrated stock pairs for optimal performance. It utilizes a 20-bar moving average (MA) and standard deviation for the 1H chart, with several exit strategies based on simple moving average (SMA) interactions or band touches. Enhanced options include hard stops, loss limits, and VIX-based directives. Backtesting capabilities and session management optimize trade timing and realism.
