Use Bollinger Bands
This piece of the settings will turn and off Bollinger band’s input in the decision making. BB Length will determine the Moving average you are using to take the standard deviation off of which is named as BB Multiplier. Default settings will use 20 moving average and take standard deviation of 2 to create lower and upper bands. Increasing the Multiplier will give you fewer but safer entries

Use RSI
You can also turn on and off the RSI as well. Alternatively, there is an option to use RSI on a different time frame than you are currently on. For example, if you are looking at the 5min chart to use Bollinger bands but you would like to look at the RSI value on the 15min chart. You can do so by selecting the custom RSI timeframe as well as adjusting the Oversold and Overbought value.

Use MA Filter
Lookback: The indicator has an option to look back x number of candles to validate the price crossing. If the market is choppy and the price keeps crossing up and down the moving average you have chosen, it will generate a lot of “noisy” signals. This option allows you to confirm the cross by selecting how many candles the price needs to stay above or below the moving average. Setting it 0 will turn it off.

MA Filter Type: There is a selection of moving averages that is available on TradingView currently. You can choose from 14 different moving average types to detect the trend as accurate as possible.

Filter Length: You can select the length of your moving average. Most commonly used length being 50,100 and 200.

Filter Type: This is our propriety smoothing method in order to make the moving averages lag less and influence the way they are calculated slightly. Type 1 being the normal calculation and type 2 being the secret sauce.

Reverse MA Filter: This option allows you to use the moving average in reverse. For example, the strategy will go long when the price is above the moving average. However, if you use the reserve MA Filter, you will go short when the price is above the moving average. This method works best in sideways market where price usually retraces back to the moving average. So, in an anticipation of price reverting back to the moving average, it is a useful piece of option to use during sideway markets.
