3 THE TRADING RULES OF THE BOLLINGER BANDS FOREX TRADING STRATEGY WITH 20 PERIOD Selling Rules: Check if market is in a downtrend and then price rises up to touch the middle bollinger band line. When middle line is touched, place a sell stop pending order about 3-5 pips under the low of the candlestick that touched it. Or you can wait to see if a bearish reversal candlestick is formed first before you place your sell stop pending order. The sell stop pending order must be placed only after this candlestick closes. Place your stop loss anywhere from 5-10 pips (or more) above the high of the candlestick. When to take profit or exit a trade- a few options you can use: When price goes back down and touches the lower bollinger band line (you exit your sell (short) trade).

So you use that difference in pip movement and calculate at what price level below you need to place your take profit target.

Place you stop loss 5-10 pips or move below the low of this candlestick. Then set you take profit target options, you can use the following options:

Or you can also use the previous swing high(top) as your take profit target level.
