Bollinger Band Toucher Indicator (MT4)

About the Bollinger Band Toucher Indicator

The Bollinger Band Toucher indicator for MT4 provides buy & sell signals whenever the price touches the upper or lower Bollinger Band.

This is useful for identifying potential reversal zones, overbought or oversold conditions, and momentum entry opportunities.

Key Takeaways

• A blue arrow is a buy signal.
• A pink arrow is a sell signal.
• Works better in range-bound markets.

Bollinger Band Toucher + Forex Super Cloud Strategy (MT4)

This strategy combines the Bollinger Band Toucher Indicator with the Forex Super Cloud Indicator to build a reliable system that uses volatility touch signals confirmed by strong trend filtering.

The Bollinger Band Toucher detects price interactions with Bollinger Bands to identify potential reversals or continuation setups, while the Forex Super Cloud confirms trend direction, enhancing trade accuracy.

This approach works effectively on MT4, particularly on M15 to H1 timeframes.

What is This Strategy About?

The Bollinger Band Toucher Indicator alerts traders when price touches or reacts to the upper or lower Bollinger Bands, signaling potential reversal or breakout areas.

The Forex Super Cloud Indicator confirms the overall trend direction by analyzing dynamic support and resistance zones.

Entering trades only when both indicators align increases the probability of catching sustained moves while avoiding false signals.

Buy Rules

• Wait for the price to touch or slightly penetrate the lower Bollinger Band as indicated by the Bollinger Band Toucher.
• Confirm that the Forex Super Cloud indicates a bullish trend (price above the cloud and cloud colored green).
• Enter a buy trade once both conditions are met.
• Place a stop-loss below the recent swing low or just outside the lower Bollinger Band.
• Set a take profit target at the next resistance level or trail the stop based on the Super Cloud.

Sell Rules

• Wait for the price to touch or slightly penetrate the upper Bollinger Band as indicated by the Bollinger Band Toucher.
• Confirm that the Forex Super Cloud indicates a bearish trend (price below the cloud and cloud colored red).
• Enter a sell trade once both indicators confirm a downtrend.
• Set a stop-loss above the recent swing high or just outside the upper Bollinger Band.
• Target the next support zone or use a trailing stop guided by the Super Cloud.
