Trend Bouncer with Bollinger Bands

Trend bouncer forex strategy is a trend following system that use the Bollinger Bands, the purpose of this trading system is to find the retracement during a trend and get in to trade with the trend. In an uptrend, you will fi nd that, at a certain point in time, prices will pull back or retrace before continuing with the upward movement. Similarly for a downtrend, prices will retrace upward against the downward momentum before continuing their way down again. Experienced trend traders usually wait for the retracement to happen before taking a trade in the direction of the trend. This is how the trend bouncer strategy came about. The Bollinger Bands indicator provides an objective way of identifying the ebb-and-flow movement of a trend. Since this is a trend strategy, we have more than one profit target. In fact, we have two specific profit levels for this strategy. The strategy differs slightly from the trend rider in that there are specific levels for trend bouncer traders to exit with profits.
