When the level of broken down or up, the best thing in this case, wait until the price returns to the line of the breakdown, with the following order to the nearest lower or upper level of force. But if the level of stand, it is necessary to look for signals to increase or decrease the price of the course.

Bollinger Bands

One simple and convenient indicators to analyze the market today are the Bollinger band. They were invented by the well-known analyst of financial markets - by John Bollinger. John Bollinger himself at this time is a technical analyst, founder and president of BCM Inc., Which specializes in asset management industry finance corporations and individuals.
Brought him fame, and his so-called "Bands Bollidzhera" that are recognized and are still used in many computer programs.
Bollinger bands are outwardly very similar to the percentages envelopes moving average line. If the protsentazhe, that is moving in an envelope outside the boundaries established by the direct line of traffic moving average up and down to a reasonable value, denoted as a percentage, the Bollinger Bands, this stretch of the shift is not constant and is expressed in a different number of standard deviations of the price.
The central bar, located in the middle, is a moving average. It is built from it and come Bollinger up and down. Distance bands from the central moving average is controlled by a coefficient which is multiplied by the deviation of the standard form. Because the extent of deviation depends directly on the volatility, in this case, the strip-adjusting themselves: it increases the volatility of the market, and is smaller in less volatile periods.

What is a trailing stop?

When you set a trailing stop (for example, by X points), the following happens: the terminal fails to take any action until such time as the position will not be released to the profit of X points (specified by the trailing stop). After that the terminal puts stop-loss at a distance of X pips from current price (in this case - on the break-even level). When you receive a quote, when the distance between the current market price and the stop-loss `bigger than X points, the terminal sends a command to change a stop at the distance of X pips from current price. Thus, the trailing stop - this is a specific control algorithm stop-loss - «movement after the current market price." Attention! Trailing Stop works only if your terminal is running and connected to the server through the Internet.
