The Combo Bot uses Bollinger Bands, MACD, and RSI strategies together to act quickly on signals, executing trades even faster and more effectively. The Combo Bot monitors all three signals (Bollinger Bands, MACD, and RSI) and only trades when they all show Buy or Sell signals.
When the bot starts, it will wait for a buy signal to purchase the full investment amount of your desired asset. It will then wait for a sell signal. When it sees the signal, the bot will sell all of the assets.
The configuration parameters for Bollinger Bands and MACD are the same as they are in their individual bots, however the RSI parameters take only two levels, one for buying and one for selling. Use the Optimize Parameters feature to have the bot pre-configure these for you.
You can also configure a Profit & Loss trigger, which allows you to stop trading and cash out your investment at your desired percentage levels.

Combo Settings
Step 1: Choose Candle Chart Interval
Select the chart time frame to run this bot on. Strategy calculations and buy/sell decisions are made at the closing price of each bar. Lower time frames result in more trades than higher, and vice versa.
Step 2: Agree-to Indicator Consensus 2 of 3
Check the box if only 2 of the 3 indicators must be matched to place a buy or sell order. If this box is not checked, then all 3 indicator signals must match.
