Topic: STRATEGY BUILDING (15min chart) BOLLINGER BANDS
hello there,
I have generated a strategy using the (fsb) generator and guess what, it worked!
i was only too happy to see it go into action and that was my satisfaction!
however, i want more!!!!
the problem is that i see profits go up and up and only to lose them as the market reverses if it does not touch the bands!
please help me lock in the profits or make this strategy better?
any help is appreciated
thank you in advance!
i have pasted the strategy here below
