BB, the correct way of usage - Part OneLike EMA, Bollinger Bands are famous indicators that can be used to analyze the market. We discussed the current usage of EMA in parts One , Two , and Three , and we will continue to do so. Now, let's talk about BB.
In ARZ Trading System, we have a specific rule for this indicator, to find the best spot to enter the market.
- BB settings: 20 period, 2 deviation.
BB meaning:
1. When its bands are converging, we are close to a breakout. We have to consider MC boxes and EMAs to analyze what direction it might break out.
2. When diverging, we are in a breakout. If price movement continues and still we see the bands diverging, we are still in breakout mode.
3. When bands are flat, we are in a ranging market.
In our system, the best place for entering into a reversal position is when at the same time, the price has touched MC ( what is MC? ) and BB levels, just as follows:
- The MC candle is shown. we expect the market to retrace after reaching the UTP level.
- After breaking the UTP level in candle #1, the price couldn't cross and close and retraced in #2 inside the UTP area. So, MC is still valid.
- From #2 to #3 we have no reason to trade upward.
- In #3 the price has touched both LTP level and BB. So, we look for a buy position.
- in #4 we analyze the market as a seller. Because the price has touched both the support of MC and BB.
- in #5 again we see a similar situation as #3, so we are buyers.
- in #6, the price couldn't cross and close after the breakout candle, so MC is still valid.
