Why Filtering Trade Entries is Important
Filtering trades is essential to avoid false signals and ensure better-quality trades. When Bollinger Bands expand, it indicates high volatility, increasing the chances of market reversals. By filtering out low-probability trades, you can improve your chances of hitting your take profit and reduce the risk of false entries.
Using the Bollinger Band Distance Filter
The Bollinger Reversal Pro EA uses the distance between the upper and lower bands (measured in pips) to filter out trades in low-volatility markets. When the bands are too close, false signals are more common. Setting a minimum pip distance helps the EA avoid placing trades in these conditions.
- Example: If you set the distance filter at 50 pips, the EA will only enter a trade when the distance between the bands is greater than 50 pips, preventing trades in flat or low-movement markets.
Recovery Orders for Non-Reversals
If the market doesn’t reverse as expected, the Recovery Order feature kicks in. This tool places additional trades at fixed intervals to help recover the position, ensuring that the sequence of trades eventually leads to a profit.
