Bollinger Bands Trailing Stop

Bollinger Bands indicator is one of the most popular Forex trading indicators, most suitable for trending markets. when Bollinger Bands Trailing Stop is enabled in its settings, Forex Profit Defender uses that indicator to set trades trailing stop. It implements a very simple mechanism; Bollinger Bands has three lines: Bollinger Upper Band, Bollinger Lower Band and Bollinger Middle Band. Bollinger Middle Band is a simple Moving Average and forms the base of the other two bands, the upper and lower bands which measure the deviation. The upper band is the maximum positive deviation and the lower band is the maximum negative deviation from the middle band. So, Bollinger Bands as an indicator is a very useful tool to reveal the markets volatility.

Several trading signals are generated based on how the price interacts with the bands. For example, a buy signal is generated when the price breaks through the upper band while a sell signal is generated when it breaks below the lower band.

How does Bollinger Bands Trailing Stop work?

Lets say that a buy position was opened according to Bollinger Bands indicator (when the price broke through the upper band) and the price keeps rising with every new bar. When the middle band becomes equal to or greater than the position open price, a trailing stop equal to the band's middle line value will be set by the robot. As with every new bar, the middle line of Bollinger Bands will keep moving (rising), that trailing stop will be moved in the same pattern. When the price become equal to or lower than middle band, the trade will be closed with a profit equal to the last trailing stop, which was set equal to the highest value of the middle band. And vise versa for sell positions.

Parabolic SAR Trailing Stop

The Parabolic SAR indicator (Parabolic Stop and Reverse indicator) can help to detect potential reversal points in the market. When the price is trending up, the Parabolic SAR dot is placed below price, while when trending down, the Parabolic SAR dot is placed above price. The Parabolic SAR value is calculated for the next candle at the close of the current one. This is why using the SAR dots is good for a trailing stop setting.

How does Parabolic SAR Trailing Stop work?

Lets assume that there is a trend reverse and the Parabolic SAR dot appears below the price, this indicates an upward trend direction of the price, so the position to open is a BUY position. Parabolic SAR indicator also print a new dot with every new bar and when the Parabolic SAR dot is equal to or greater than the opened trade price, a trailing stop equal to Parabolic SAR dot value will be set to the trade by the robot and will continue to move the trailing stop with every new Parabolic SAR dot. If a new reverse starts, the Parabolic SAR dot changes its position and the price also begins to fall down, but thanks to the trailing stop previously set, the position will be closed on a good profit that equals to the Parabolic SAR last dot before occurrence of the reverse. And vise versa for SELL positions.
