well dear i dont understand the strategey which you mentioned in your thread thourgh bb is a good technical indicator but we should not go only pecifically the techicals as we should also think about the fundamentals as well as they are vey imprtant too i have try it so much and As mentioned, the Bollinger Bands are ment to display the market volatility - wide bands indicate high volatility and tight bands indicate low volatility of pair. There is a special way of trading that exploits periods of extremely low volatility - that explode to big trends. This is called the 'Squeeze'. A period of low-volatility where candlesticks are 'squeezed' inside the Bollinger Bands.
