[KL] Double Bollinger Bands Strategy (for Crypto/FOREX)

2021년 9월 4일

This strategy uses a setup consisting of two Bollinger Bands based on the 20 period 20-SMA +/-
(a) upper/lower bands of two standard deviations apart, and
(b) upper/lower bands of one standard deviation apart.

We consider price at +/- one standard deviation apart from 20-SMA as the "Neutral Zone".

If price closes above Neutral Zone after a period of consolidation, then it's an opportunity for entry. Strategy will long, anticipating for breakout.

The illustration below shows price closing above the Neutral Zone after a period of consolidation.
