A Bollinger Band is a technical analysis tool defined by a set of trendlines plotted two standard deviations (positively and negatively) away from a simple moving average (SMA) of a security’s price, but which can be adjusted to user preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the above chart we see the bollinger bands. This indicator was plotted using a 20 period simple moving average which is the red line and 2 standard deviations (positively and negatively) from the 20 period simple moving average which are represented by the blue lines on either side of the 20 period simple moving average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how do you use the Bollinger bands in a scalping trading strategy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reversals<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When price exits either the upper or lower Bollinger bands it can be seen as a signal for a reversal. This can also signal overbought or oversold conditions in the market. When price moves closer to or exits the upper band then the market is likely overbought and a reversal is likely to occur. When price moves closer to or exits the lower band then the market is likely oversold and a reversal is likely to occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long Position<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A long position entry signal would occur when price exits the lower band of the bollinger bands. You can also use reversal candlesticks as a confirmation of the signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the image above, we see a long position entry signal at the point marked by the green arrow. Price exitis the lower band of the bollinger bands which is followed by a green doji candlestick which acts as a confirmation for our long position entry. A long position opened at that point is profitable as price moves up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short Position<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A long position entry signal would occur when price exits the upper band of the bollinger bands. You can also use reversal candlesticks as a confirmation of the signal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the image above, we see a short position entry signal at the point marked by the red arrow. Price exits the upper band of the Bollinger bands which is followed by a green doji candlestick which acts as a confirmation for our short position entry. A short position opened at that point is profitable as price moves down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
