65# Bollinger Bands spike scalping

Submit by JanusTrader

Open a 1 minute and place on the chart the standard default setting for the Bollinger Bands. When the price extends outside the bands by more than 8/10 pips place a trade to go long (when the price is outside the lower Bollinger Band) or a trade to go short (when the price is outside the upper Bollinger Bands).

The distance the price has to be outside the bands is 8/10 pips from the previous Bollinger Band close. Set a stop loss of 10 pips and a profit target of 10/15 pips. You can also take the 2nd entry 5 pips further from the stop loss level, i.e. if you take a position 1.4000 to go long in EUR/USD and put your stop loss at 1.3990, then you may take your next position to go long, at 1.3985; if you get stopped out on 2 consecutive positions in a given time period, then stand aside as this may be an indication of a strong market trend in the opposite direction.

Long Trades

The price should be outside the lower.

When the price has extended by 7/10 pips below lower band

and 5 forex minute chart is also showing the price outside the lower Bollinger Band,

go long.

Place stop-loss order 10 pips below the entry point.

When in the trade as soon as you are showing 10/15 pips

profit exit the trade.

A second entry can be taken if the price moves 15 pips

below your first entry, stopping you out. If this second

position is stopped out do not trade this again, wait for

another opportunity.

Short Trades

The price should be outside the upper band.

When the price has extended by 7/10 pips above upper band

and 5 minute chart is also showing the price outside the lower Bollinger Band,

go short.

Place stop-loss order 10 pips below the entry point.

When in the trade as soon as you are showing 10/15 pips

profit exit the trade.

A second entry can be taken if the price moves 15 pips

below your first entry, stopping you out. If this second

position is stopped out do not trade this again, wait for

another opportunity.

Examples

The screenshot below shows a scalping trade on the 1 minute

chart. The closing figure of the lower Bollinger Band on the

previous candle is 1.4649 and the price went down to 1.4639 on

the next candle 8/10 pips below the Bollinger Band figure,

triggering an entry setup.

After confirmation from the 5 minute trading chart that the price was

also below the lower Bollinger bands, an entry was made at

1.4641 with the 2 pip spread and a stop was placed 10 pips

below the entry. Profit was taken at 1.4654 for +13 pips.

The next example of a long trade captures 11 pips profit.

When the priced moved outside the lower Bollinger Bands we

had a look at the previous candle and the closing Bollinger Bands

figure (1.4575). This meant if the price went as low as 1.4565 or

lower we would enter a trade to go long, if there was

confirmation on the 5 minute chart. A trade was taken at 1.4565

with a 2 pip spread giving us an entry price of 1.4567 with a 10

pip stop at 1.4557.

The trade was closed out at 1.4578 for 11 pips profit.

Confirmation to take the trade on the 5 minute chart (below).

In this example the entry was confirmed to go short at 1.4708 on the 5

minute chart below, 8 pips above the close of the Bollinger Bands trading

from the previous candle at (1.4700), a stop was placed 10 pips

away. Unfortunately, this first trade was stopped out at -10 pips

and the price carried on upwards. After it had moved 5 pips

above our first trade`s stop, a second trade was placed to go

short at 1.4723 with a stop 10 pips above 1.4733. This trade

was successful with a +15 pip profit wiping out the loss on the

first trade and coming away with +5 pips. This Forex system is very good.
