Now Microsoft had been trending upward since 2012 and another advance was likely. It is important to guard against fake signals in the opposite direction, like the one highlighted in mid-September 2016.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Microsoft Bollinger Band Squeeze with Twiggs Money Flow\" title=\"Microsoft Bollinger Band Squeeze with Twiggs Money Flow\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.incrediblecharts.com\/images\/png_images\/msft-bollinger-band-squeeze-tmf.png?w=525&#038;ssl=1\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"display:inline-block;margin:0 20px 0 40px;\">Green arrow = Long entry<\/li>\n<li style=\"display:inline-block;margin:0 20px 0 0;\">Red arrow = Exit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The red candle on Friday, September 9th closed below the lower band after a narrow Bollinger squeeze, signaling a downward break, before a large engulfing candle on Monday warned of reversal to an up-trend. The primary trend would alert traders to treat shorter-term bear signals with caution but it is also advisable to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.incrediblecharts.com\/indicators\/twiggs_money_flow.php\">Twiggs Money Flow<\/a> to confirm buying or selling pressure. Here 21-day Twiggs Money Flow is oscillating above zero, indicating buying pressure despite the downward breakout. So the trade would be ignored.<\/li>\n<li>Subsequent rising troughs on Twiggs Money Flow would give me sufficient confidence to enter the trade [green arrow] before the next breakout, with a stop below the recent low at $56. More cautious traders would wait for breakout above the upper Bollinger Band but this often gives a wider risk margin because the stop should still be set below $56. The subsequent pull-back to test support in November 2016 underlines the need not to set stops at the breakout level.<\/li>\n<li>Exit [red arrow] on bearish divergence on Twiggs Money Flow, when the second dip crosses below zero, or if price closes below the lower Bollinger Band.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Bollinger Band Trends<\/h2>\n<p>The second strategy is a trend-following strategy I picked up from Nick Radge&#8217;s book <i>Unholy Grails<\/i>, where he uses 100-day Bollinger Bands to capture trend momentum. The rules are simple:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enter when price closes above the upper Bollinger Band<\/li>\n<li>Exit when price closes below the lower Bollinger Band<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nick proposes setting the upper band at 3 standard deviations and the lower band at 1 standard deviation but I am wary of this (too much like curve-fitting) and would stick to bands at 2 standard deviations.<\/p>\n<p>Here I have plotted Microsoft with 100-day Bollinger Bands at 2 standard deviations and 13-week <a href=\"https:\/\/www.incrediblecharts.com\/indicators\/twiggs_money_flow.php\">Twiggs Money Flow<\/a> to highlight long-term buying and selling pressure.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Microsoft Bollinger Band Trends\" title=\"Microsoft Bollinger Band Trends\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.incrediblecharts.com\/images\/png_images\/msft-bollinger-band-trends.png?w=525&#038;ssl=1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For a detailed discussion of trading signals for this chart, go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.incrediblecharts.com\/indicators\/bollinger_bands.php#Trends\">Bollinger Band Trends<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently updated Incredible Charts&#8217; Bollinger Bands page to highlight two great trading strategies: Bollinger Band Squeezes Bollinger Band Trends First, if you are not familiar with Bollinger Bands here is a quick summary of basic Bollinger Band trading signals.
