It was mostly a rangebound week for both USD/CAD and CAD/CHF, so was this strategy able to profit from quick bounces?

Read on to find out!

In this revised version of the Short-Term Bollinger Reversion Strategy, I’m waiting for RSI to cross above or below oversold or overbought levels to indicate a bit more momentum in the direction of the trade.

Make sure you review the tweaks here.

USD/CAD was cruising higher early in the week, and fortunately that test of the top Bollinger Band didn’t generate a valid signal.

Price went on to trade sideways for the next few days, but it didn’t reach the top or bottom bands.

That’s a signal-free week for this one then!

CAD/CHF also barely touched the Bollinger Bands this week, only catching a valid short play much later on.

This one is still open, though, as price is still trading pretty close to the top band.

Hopefully it reaches at least the middle band to catch some pips then have the stop adjusted to entry for a risk-free trade.

With that, the Short-Term Bollinger Reversion Strategy didn’t chalk up any wins or losses lately… and I’m counting this as a good thing since it puts a pause on the system’s losing streak. Bah!

Seen how the numbers turned out for the previous quarter and for the entire 2020 yet?
