Hi Smithid, please explain what an "outer band" means.

Re: Bollinger Band outer band price tag as entry signal?

The Bollinger Band indicator has three bands: an upper, a middle, and a lower. 

When I write "outer band" I am referring to either the upper band or lower band. 

http://www.bollingerbands.com/ has a chart example of the three bands.

Set BB in the "Opening Point of the Position" slot.
If you want to enter long at the upper band and respectively, enter short at the lower band, chose the "Enter long at the upper band" logic rule.
