Multi-Timeframe Bollinger Bands Strategy (C# Version)

Applies Bollinger Bands on both a primary and a higher timeframe. Trades when price pierces the higher timeframe bands and optionally filters entries with a long-term moving average. The goal is to fade extremes against the broader trend.

The strategy supports both long and short positions. A stop-loss percentage can be enabled for risk management. Using multiple timeframes helps to avoid trades against dominant market structure.
