THREE IN ONE Trading Guide
Last updated: March 1, 2026
The 3 in 1 Indicator is a powerful, consolidated on-chart overlay that combines Bollinger Bands, the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Stochastic Oscillator. This allows traders to identify confluence among three unique aspects of the market—volatility, momentum, and mean reversion—in a single view.
What does the indicator show?
- Bollinger Bands (BB): Draws a basis centerline along with Upper and Lower volatility bands directly on the price chart.
- Signals (Buy / Sell): Background colored sections and exact signals generated when Stochastic parameters align with strict RSI overbought/oversold criteria.
- Strong Signals: Differentiates between normal setups and "Strong" setups based on consecutive conditions remaining true over the last few bars.
- Crossovers: Plots discrete shapes (cross up / cross down) when price spikes outside a Bollinger Band and closes back inside.
Key Settings
- BB Length & Mult: Controls the lookback variance and standard deviation of the Bollinger Bands.
- RSI Over / Under & Length: Defines the extremes required for the RSI logic, alongside the accumulation period.
- Stoch K, D, & Smooth: Adjusts the responsiveness of the Stochastic Oscillator.
How to use Strategy Parameters (Condition Source)
Within the Strategy Tester module, you can leverage the data from this indicator to create powerful logical conditions for trade entries and exits.
1. Confluence Signals
Buy (<= 2 in 4)/Buy Strong (> 2 in 4)— Triggers when RSI is oversold while Stoch K and D confirm an upward push.Sell (<= 2 in 4)/Sell Strong (> 2 in 4)— Triggers when RSI is overbought while Stoch K and D turn down.
Strategy Example: Only buy when all 3 indicators firmly agree the market has bottomed: Buy Strong (> 2 in 4) is_true.
2. Band Rejections
Cross Down UpperBB— A mean-reversion signal indicating the price rejected the upper Bollinger Band.Cross Up LowerBB— A mean-reversion signal indicating the price bounced off the lower Bollinger Band.
Strategy Example: Enter a counter-trend short trade exclusively when: Cross Down UpperBB is_true.
