Bollinger Bands + Supertrend Trading Strategy

Today in less than 5 minutes:

1) Why you should trade like a batsman
2) A strategy for intraday & positional trades (with example)
3) Stocks ripe for a trend reversal

Trade like a professional batsman

An amateur batsman would swing at everything, trying to hit a boundary on every ball. Though there are more opportunities, the success rate is not that high. It’s like taking more risks and getting out more often ☹️

But a professional, on the other hand, picks their shots carefully. It’s all about having the patience to wait for the perfect ball. Staying in the game and optimizing the right opportunities is the trick 🏏

The same applies to trading as well. Typically, the fewer signals a strategy generates, the higher its success rate. And today, we’ll unveil one such strategy.

A quick recap

Before we get to the strategy, let’s do a quick recap of the indicators and chart types that we will be using:

> Bollinger Bands: The Bollinger Band is composed of a simple moving average, and two standard deviation bands, one above and one below the simple average line, signaling that a stock is overbought or oversold respectively.
> Supertrend: A simple line that acts as a dynamic support and resistance for the stock’s price.
> Heikin-Ashi charts: A chart pattern slightly different than candlesticks, Heikin-Ashi charts help cut the noise and identify patterns easily.

Let’s get to the strategy now ↓

- Take help from the Supertrend indicator to determine entry/exit points

First, we will set our indicators to the following:

Here’s how we will enter and exit a trade using this strategy:

Example - Long Trade in TCS (15-min timeframe)

The following chart of TCS is set to a 15-minute timeframe. You can see how the candles are lingering on the lower Bollinger Band, signaling that a reversal is likely (highlighted by a purple channel). Taking a trade as per the strategy generated a good ~1.7% over the last weekend of July 2023!

We tried looking for such stocks ourselves - where the candles are forming near the lower Bollinger Band and the Supertrend has turned bullish…
