fading them isn't the answer, but learning how to read them, or any indicator is an accomplishment I personally liked those Bollinger Bands and in my last days of scalping ES that was all I had on my screen just don't make any rules learn how to read them
================== Mr Bollingers book, booklets,, articles,,, are helpful; as his comment'' stocks are like sheep they run in herds'' Wisdom is profitable to direct
now me personally, I don't use any indicators, but that is because I used them for so many years I already know that they are going to look like
Agree 100%, I used to flail away with every indicator known to man. Then I realized to just use my eyes and see where "big" moves develop from. Since then, after backtesting, I have found couple of setups that offer 2:1 reward:risk and slightly over 50% win rate. I now make money consistently and confidently.
I trade like this and am quite profitable with it. The way this site teaches and tells you how to do it though is wrong, and the settings are off which is why they claim the win rate is only 50/50. If done right and using the right settings, the average win rate should be closer to 80%, which is what I average.
