EMABBRSI Strategy: The MA + Bollinger + RSI "Three-in-One"
Nickname: Three-in-One Filter
Occupation: Uses 3 indicators to confirm trends — only buys "certain" signals
Timeframe: 1 Hour
1. What's This Strategy?
Put simply, EMABBRSI combines three common indicators:
- EMA crossover (judge trend direction)
- Bollinger Band breakout (find entry points)
- RSI confirmation (filter false signals)
Like a matchmaking event: must have money (EMA), have a house (Bollinger), have a car (RSI) — all three conditions met before saying yes! 😂
This is a 1-hour level medium-to-long term strategy, suitable for capturing trending markets!
2. Core Settings: "Trend Following"
Take-Profit Rules (ROI Table)
Immediate exit (0 minutes) → Run when profit reaches 14.14%!
After 25 minutes → Run when profit reaches 4.59%!
After 41 minutes → Run when profit reaches 2.07%!
After 67 minutes → Break-even exit
Translation: This strategy targets medium-term trends — 14% and run, not greedy!
Stoploss Rules
Hard stoploss: -20%
Translation: -20% stoploss is reasonable, giving plenty of room!
3. 3 Buy Conditions: Here's the Breakdown
🎯 Type #1: Bollinger Lower Band Breakout + RSI Confirmation
Core Logic: Price bounced after dropping below Bollinger lower band + RSI confirms stabilization
Plain English:
"Price dropped to the Bollinger lower band, and RSI recovered from oversold — it looks like it's done falling, time to bounce!"
Trigger Conditions:
- RSI > 33
- Close price crosses from below to above the Bollinger lower band
📈 Type #2: EMA200 Support Buy
Core Logic: Price pulls back to EMA200 and finds support
Plain English:
"Price dropped to the 200-day MA — this is the long-term cost line, should have support!"
Trigger Conditions:
- Previous candle close > EMA200
- This candle low < EMA200 (wicked through)
- Close > EMA200 (closed back above)
🚀 Type #3: Golden Cross (EMA50 Crosses Above EMA200)
Core Logic: Short-term MA crosses from below to above long-term MA
Plain English:
"The 50-day MA crossed above the 200-day MA — this is a classic bullish signal!"
Trigger Conditions:
- EMA50 crosses from below to above EMA200
4. Exit Logic: 2 Sell Conditions
4.1 Upper Bollinger Band + RSI Overbought
| Trigger Condition | Plain English |
|---|---|
| Close > Bollinger upper band | "Price hit the upper band, hitting resistance" |
| RSI > 91 | "Risen too much, should pull back" |
Plain English: > "Price hit resistance, and RSI is overbought too — it's gonna drop!"
4.2 Death Cross (EMA50 Crosses Below EMA200)
| Trigger Condition | Plain English |
|---|---|
| EMA50 crosses from above to below EMA200 | "Trend turned bearish, run!" |
5. Technical Indicators: What "Weapons" Does This Strategy Use?
| Indicator | Period | Purpose | Plain English |
|---|---|---|---|
| EMA7 | 7 | Short-term trend | "Recent week's average cost" |
| EMA25 | 25 | Short-term trend | "Recent month's average cost" |
| EMA50 | 50 | Medium-term trend | "Recent two months' average cost" |
| EMA200 | 200 | Long-term trend | "Recent year's average cost" |
| RSI | 14 | Overbought/oversold | "Check if it's risen too much" |
| Bollinger Bands | 20, 2/3 | Volatility boundaries | "Price channel" |
6. Risk Management: How Does This Strategy Protect Itself?
6.1 Protection Mechanism
This strategy has no independent protection mechanism, relying on:
- Generous stoploss: -20%, plenty of room

| Condition | Effect |
|---|---|

11.4 Backtesting vs. Live Trading
Backtesting looks great, live trading fails because:
- False breakout: Bollinger breakout falls back quickly
- Signal delay: Trend is already half over by the time signal arrives
- RSI condition too strict: RSI > 91 almost never triggers
Recommended Process:
- Backtest for 3 months
- Dry-run for 2 weeks
- Small capital live trading for 1 month
- Scale up only if no issues
12. Bonus: The Strategy Author's "Little Tricks"
- RSI > 91: The author must have been burned by "false breakouts" — that's why the sell condition is so strict!
- EMA200: Using 200-day MA for long-term trend judgment is a classic approach!
- 1-hour level: The author must not be a short-term trader — they're a medium-to-long term trend investor!
- 14.14% take-profit: This number is close to √2 — there's some magic to it!
⚠️ Final Warning: Risk Re-emphasis (Must Read!)
Backtesting Looks Great, Live Trading Requires Caution
EMABBRSI's historical backtesting performance often looks very good — but there's a trap:
RSI > 91 sell condition is too strict — rarely triggers in practice, the strategy mainly relies on ROI exit!
Simply put: Many buy conditions, few sell conditions — mainly depends on the take-profit table!
Simple Strategy Risks
In live trading, complex logic may cause:
- Too few signals: All 3 conditions met simultaneously is rare
- Hard to sell: RSI > 91 almost never triggers
- False signals: Golden cross quickly becomes death cross
My Suggestions (Sincere Advice)
1. Focus on golden cross: This is the clearest buy signal
2. Don't rely on RSI for selling: Mainly use ROI table to take profit
3. Set stoploss: -20% is the bottom line
4. Diversify investments: Don't put all money on one strategy
Remember: More conditions = fewer signals ≠ higher win rate! 🙏
Final Reminder: No matter how good the strategy, the market won't hesitate to teach you a lesson. Test with small capital — survival is the top priority! 🙏
