How to use Bollinger Bands And Aroon Indicator

Learn how to build an automated strategy to trade with Bollinger Bands and the Aroon indicator on Coinrule with TradingView signals.

Any technical indicators can work in a specific market condition while not be effective in others. No indicator is perfect and carries some limitations.

All the best trading strategies involve multiple indicators and leverage the benefit of each of them. The following is an optimised strategy based on Bollinger Bands and the Aroon indicator. Read more about the strategy here.

The strategy

The Bollinger Bands are among the most famous and widely used indicators. They can suggest when an asset is oversold or overbought in the short term, thus provide the best time for buying and selling it.

On the other side, when the market trends down, trading using the Bollinger bands alone will result in a high percentage of trades in loss, especially for long-only strategies.

The Aroon Indicator plays a key role in this strategy. It acts as a confirmation that the asset is currently in an uptrend. On the other hand, it acts as a stop if market conditions deteriorate. The suggested approach minimises the drawdowns, ensuring that the system trades only when it’s more likely to close the trade in profit.

The best time frame for this strategy based on our backtest is the 4-hr. The 1-hr can work well with three times more trades, on average.
