Double Reversal — Bollinger + RSI, the best in our catalog
Our top performer across 45 days of real M1 data: up to 62% in train and — what actually matters — 56.9% on the window no tuning ever saw.
The rule (genuinely simple)
Double Reversal only enters when two independent signals agree on the same candle:
- Bollinger: price closes outside the band (±2 std devs of the 20 mean) — overstretched.
- RSI Reversal: RSI(14) crosses out of the extreme zone (leaves oversold <30 or overbought >70).
Close below the lower band + RSI leaving oversold → CALL. Upper band + overbought → PUT. Why it works: on real-forex M1 during market hours, price strongly tends to revert to the mean after stretches — and the two conditions together filter out the stretches that keep going.
The numbers — with out-of-sample validation
| Pair | Overall | Train | Test | FRESH (out-of-sample) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| USD/JPY | 59.7% | 62.0% | 58.1% | 56.9% (n=334) ✅ |
| GBP/JPY | 58.0% | 59.8% | 58.9% | 54.6% (n=273) ✅ |
| GBP/USD | 54.9% | 56.7% | 57.1% | 50.3% (n=312) ❌ |
| AUD/USD | 54.7% | 56.0% | 54.8% | 52.2% (n=291) ❌ |
| EUR/USD | 53.9% | 55.0% | 54.6% | 51.7% (n=323) ❌ |
| EUR/JPY | 51.0% | — | — | 46.4% (n=280) ❌ |
Honest read: the edge is concentrated in USD/JPY and GBP/JPY. USD majors worked in the old window and degraded in the recent directional period — which is why we publish the fresh window: it predicts the future, the train window doesn't.

FAQ
Does it work on OTC? No. On OTC no variation beat ~50% (see the test).
Why not add CCI or Z-Score as confirmation? We tested: they're redundant — they measure the same thing as Bollinger ("price ±2σ from the mean"). The only confirmation that adds value is RSI (momentum), and it's already in the rule.
Isn't 56–61% low? At 87% payout, break-even is 53.5%. Above that, expectancy is positive — the rest is risk management and volume. Anyone promising 70%+ is selling overfit.
