[Opening Logic Condition]
     Bollinger Bands
     The bar opens below the Lower Band after opening above it

This depicts the crossing better. But eventually go for the one, which works best. That's the charm about FSB smile

This problem can be eliminated by changing its exit condition #1 criteria, but to showcase another trend-following mean reversion system, I have chosen instead to introduce the fading of our trend-following Bollinger band system with the addition of a 200-day moving average criteria to filter out countertrend trades. Using CQG, the programming code for this trend-following mean rever- sion system is written in this way:
Long Entry:
Close(@)[–1] XBELOW BLO(@,Sim,20,2)[–1]AND Close(@)[–1] > MA(@,Sim,200)[–1]
Long Exit—Condition #1 set “Price” field to:
BMA(@,Sim,20)[–1]
Long Exit—Condition #2 set “Price” field to:
EntryPrice(@,0,All,ThisTradeOnly)–(.025* EntryPrice(@,0,All,ThisTradeOnly))
Short Entry:
Close(@)[–1] XABOVE BHI(@,Sim,20,2)[–1] AND Close(@)[–1] < MA(@,Sim,75)[–1]
Short Exit—Condition #1 set “Price” field to:
BMA(@,Sim,20)[–1]
Short Exit—Condition #2 set “Price” field to:
EntryPrice(@,0,All,ThisTradeOnly)+(.025* EntryPrice(@,0,All, ThisTradeOnly))

This performs really well on the daily EURGBP! Did I get it right?
