5 Keys To Reading The Exit Signals For The Bollinger Bands Strategy To Lock In Profits

My last trade using the Bollinger Bands Strategy Trade ended today with a profit of 7.8% in 3 days. This type of return though is not by chance but through understanding how to read the signals for both entering the trade and exiting it.

Capital Exposure Is Greatest Risk To Loss

Profit aside, the advantage of these types of trades is that capital is exposed to the volatility of the stock market itself, for very short periods of time.

The Bollinger Bands Strategy Trade is one of the trade strategies I developed in the late 1980’s following the crash of stocks in 1987, as I was looking for a way to safely profit from what was then becoming large swings in volatility among stocks.
