Bollinger Bands Breakout Strategy

Volatility breakout strategy using Bollinger Band expansion

Indicators Used
Bollinger Bands (20, 2), ATR-14
Timeframe
1h
Risk Level
Medium-High

How It Works

Enters positions when price breaks through Bollinger Bands (20-period, 2 standard deviations) during periods of band expansion. Band width contraction followed by expansion signals imminent volatility — the strategy captures these breakout moves. Stop-loss placed at the opposite band with take-profit based on ATR multiples.

When This Strategy Works Best

Best during volatility expansion after periods of consolidation. Avoid during low-volume sessions.
