How to Use BBW in FX Replay
Detecting Squeezes (Low BBW)
- When BBW hits local or historical lows, volatility is compressed → a breakout is likely.
- Prime moments: before high-impact sessions (e.g., London/NY AM) or after extended ranges.
Breakout Signal Confirmation
- After a squeeze:
- Wait for price to break an outer Bollinger Band.
- Confirm with volume spikes, VWAP retest, or RSI momentum.
Trend Continuation (High BBW)
- Expanding BBW during a move signals strength — consider holding or scaling in.
- Pair with SMMA or Supertrend to confirm direction.
Conseils pour le backtesting
- Des installations de piste telles que :
- “BBW squeeze + NY Open Breakout”
- “BBW expansion + VWAP bounce”
- “BBW low + PO3 expansion phase”
- Study price action around compression zones and session boundaries.
Strategy Combo Examples
- BBW + Zeussy Cycles: Watch for squeezes during AMD 30/90.
- BBW + Fractals: Breakout above a fractal high with expanding BBW = high-probability entry.
