  Its clearly overoptimized.

  Pic includes 200K test.

   

  Ur exit is pretty crazy, ur asking for a cross under/over for both RSI and Bollinger bands, maybe u ment to have in the code “c5 OR c6” and not “c5 AND c6”

  the entry is just pure overoptimizing. Try to not optimize on 100% of your data, it will destroy stuff.

  Also try to stick to 15, 30 or better yet 1h, because you get a lot more data to work with. more data = key ingredient

   

  Edit: at least in my personal experience, if you take 3,4,5 indicators and just optimize them on 100% of your data, the backtest might look nice, but try the same on 50% of your data then check 100% of the data when your done optimizing. if its shit (which it will be 99/100 times) just throw it away or make big adjustments..
