Marks a bounce from the Envelope lines: a candle reaches the outer line, closes back inside, and RSI confirms that price was stretched. It follows the 'bounce from the sides' method in the related article.
The rules
HIGHER marker
The candle's low touches or pierces the lower Envelope (SMA 20, deviation 1 = 0.1%), it closes back above that line, and RSI(14) is below 35.
LOWER marker
The candle's high touches or pierces the upper Envelope, it closes back below that line, and RSI(14) is above 65.
A marker appears after the next candle opens and is drawn on the candle that completed the setup. It is a chart observation, not an instruction to trade.
How to read it
The blue lines are the upper and lower Envelope and the orange line is the SMA between them. A green HIGHER triangle under a candle marks a bounce from the lower line with RSI below 35; a red LOWER triangle above a candle marks a bounce from the upper line with RSI above 65.
Indicators used
- Moving Average Envelopes (SMA 20, deviation 1)
- RSI (14, 35/65)
Same view with built-in indicators: Add Envelopes (SMA 20, deviation 1) on the price chart and Relative Strength Index (14) below it.
Default settings
| SMA period | 20 |
|---|---|
| Deviation (IQ Option units, 1 = 0.1%) | 1 |
| RSI period | 14 |
| RSI level for HIGHER | 35 |
| RSI level for LOWER | 65 |
Every value is an input in the script settings. Platform advice is off by default.
Key points
- Envelopes are a moving average with two lines parallel to it, a fixed percentage above and below.
- On IQ Option the deviation is entered in tenths of a percent, so 1 means 0.1 percent.
- The article's bounce method says to watch price touching an outer line and coming back.
- We add RSI: below 35 for a lower-line bounce, above 65 for an upper-line bounce.
- The candle must close back inside the envelope, so a break through the line is not marked.
- Adjust the deviation for your timeframe and test on a Practice balance.
Limitations. The article says bounces suit low-volatility markets, and breakouts through the line in fast markets are the opposite case. A fixed percentage width does not adapt to volatility, so the deviation should be tuned for each timeframe and instrument; the article's examples use SMA 9, while this script uses SMA 20. Test on the Practice balance before risking real funds.

-- Moving Average Envelopes draw two lines a fixed percentage above and below
-- a simple moving average. The article's "bounce from the sides" idea is used:
-- price dips through an envelope line, closes back inside, and RSI agrees that
-- the move was stretched. Deviation uses IQ Option's unit: 1 = 0.1% of the average.
--
-- HIGHER: the low touches or pierces the lower envelope, the candle closes back
-- above it, and RSI(14) is below 35.
-- LOWER: the high touches or pierces the upper envelope, the candle closes back
-- below it, and RSI(14) is above 65.
--
-- Markers use the previous completed candle: they appear after the next candle
-- opens and are shifted back one bar onto the candle that qualified.
-- Educational chart tool only. It does not place trades, choose an expiry,
-- predict outcomes, or guarantee results. Test on a Practice balance first.
