A New Strategy--Bollinger Band Two Touch

Forget what I said about sticking to a strategy until it works. I'm into something new ... and I'm excited about it.

I'm still using the same indicators: RSI, Bollinger Bands, and the EMA 100.

Here's what I'm doing. On the 1-hour chart, if the price action is below the EMA 100, I prepare to go into what I call "sell mode." Then, I switch over to the 5-minute chart. When the price touches the lower Bollinger Band for the second time and the price and RSI are lower than when it crossed the first time, I place a sell order.

I pull out of the trade when there is an RSI divergence. If I anticipate being away from my computer, I place a "take profit" order at 15 pips below my entry price. My stop loss ("parachute") is 20 pips above my entry price.

We'll see how it goes ...
