Bollinger Bands (BB) - Rule 1

First Rule of BB..  Pay Attention to the 20 MA (Mid BB)

Although, this is one of the rule of my rules, I follow to Day trade. You need to combine it with your other rules..

So, whatever Timeframe you use, You need to initiate your trade only in the direction of 20 MA (Mid BB). When its Up, you need to Buy & when its Down, you need to Sell only. The Flat mid BB suggests to Buy/ Sell on the touch to the BB extremes.

I know, this is a Simple rule & people don't follow simple rules. Human mind believe complicated things more over simple ones and try to find out a way in which simple systems don't work. But Trading is a Probability Game. This simple rule will ensure increase in the Probability of success.

No Index/ Stock can stay much away from its 20 MA. It's also used by majority of traders and place their SL above/ below it. So consider another factor of Order flow above/ below it.

See the below trades of 22.11.2013 and look at the mid BB just before the entry. Include this simple rule in your Arsenal & feel the difference..
