This Bollinger Band Forex Trading Strategy Using Dynamic Support And Resistance is a very simple forex trading system to understand and implement.
And it is based on the concept of dynamic support and resistance of the bollinger band lines.
In simple terms:
- dynamic support refers to the fact that price will go down and hit the lower bollinger band line and bounce back up…so that lower bollinger band line is said to be providing the dynamic support to price.
- Now for dynamic resistance, price will go up and hit the upper bollinger band line and then bounce back down.
The chart below shows you examples of dynamic support and resistance on the upper and lower bollinger band lines. Notice how price is hitting these two lines and bouncing back?
Timeframes: try to use 1hr and 4hr timeframes for this trading method.
Currency Pairs: Any
Forex Indicators: Just the bollinger band indicator with default settings.
