Bollinger Bands Strategy Trade – Understanding The Exit Signals

The Bollinger Bands Strategy Trade I developed years ago has proven to be an excellent profit-making strategy that can boost annual returns in any stock or ETF. The key is understanding the strategy and containing any losses. This strategy discussion article focuses on understanding how to read the signals from the Bollinger Bands Strategy Trade when it advises that a trade should be ended that is failing.

When I invest I only use strategies. I cannot work from “hunches” or “gut instinct”. I have to work from a strategy and follow the signals to either stay in a trade longer or exit from that trade.

It is exactly the same with the Bollinger Bands Strategy Trade. When the signals no longer support the Bollinger Bands Strategy Trade and time has passed of a couple of days, it becomes necessary to end the trade. Consistency to the strategy results in the best outcome. Capital is rarely if ever lost and as this article explains, the time period when my capital was at risk was incredibly short at just 5 days. So while the trade resulted in no real profit, the capital was committed for just 5 days and by exiting when the signals advise to end the trade, it releases the capital for another trade that may perform better.

This is why I use strategies when investing. The strategy is what dictates how to handle the trade not instinct or a hunch.

Bollinger Bands Strategy Trade and Capital Preservation

Capital preservation is as important as profits. The only way to truly preserve capital and limit the number of losing trades is to stay consistent with a strategy. When investors ask how I do so well the answer is obvious – losing trades are very small which assists in preserving my capital.
