The Bollinger Bands technical indicator traces its roots back to the primordial Trading Bands or Price Envelope. Conversely, the failure for the stock to continue to accelerate outside of the bollinger bands indicates a weakening in strength of the stock. So to trade this breakout, you ideally want to wait for a period where the outer lines of the Bollinger Bands indicator have narrowed because this indicates a period of tight consolidation.
Indeed, in the majority of cases the position is closed at the Http://Chollay.Com/Read_Blog/180598/Hikkake-Pattern market price after the first Heikin Ashi candle has closed within the Bollinger bands. So far we've seen the basic strategy slightly outperforms Buy & Hold but with considerably lower drawdowns. Example 1: If the quote is trading above upper band of Bollinger, look for the ADX if it is ranging downward towards below 40 level then selling pressure is expected with the targets of middle band and then lower band of Bollinger.
As you can see Bollinger Bands are much more versatile, and although bands can be used to identify relative highs and lows, simply buying the lower band and selling the higher band is not a good way to trade unless chart reading is used to identify sideways conditions.
The goal of a trend-following strategy is to trade with the trend (buy highs and sell higher, sell lows and buy lower). In Unholy Grails the strategy is used on the Australian stockmarket but in this article we're going to test it on the Nasdaq 100 instead to determine if the strategy has potential in other markets.
Then you should check the previous two candlesticks to see whether their close prices are above the BB1 lower band or not. Once the market conditions change, the strategy no longer works and is quickly replaced with another strategy that works in the current market conditions.
The bands are relatively close to each other squeezing the price action and the indicator. Depending on the settings, Bollinger Bands usually contain 99% of the closing prices. Bollinger Bands can also serve to determine the extremes of price action In a range-bound market where the Bollinger bands are nearly horizontal, the upper and lower bands can be used to determine overbought and oversold conditions.
A bullish break occurs after a constriction of the Bollinger Bands and then price breaks and expands the upper band to the upside. The lower band is the middle band subtracted by the given deviation multiplied by a given period moving averages. To go long (to buy), you have to wait for one of the candlesticks to close above the BB deviation 1 upper band.
The Bollinger band squeeze happens when price movements contract to a narrow range. One confirmation sign is that visual cue that the upper band is hooking upwards at the same time that the lower band is hooking downwards. However, if the bands expand and the price starts closing candle after candle above the upper band, then we expect further bullish expansion.
Either works well, in fact you can use both to trade it as a Bollinger band EMA strategy. The trend is still bullish, but we need to watch closely the price behavior should it reach the upper level, as it could briefly spike to retest the highs area at the upper bands and come back stronger to the downside.
