The fancy about the Bollinger Bands, and that's why I love them so much, is that you can trade trending strategies or swing strategies with them. You can even trade volatile markets using Bollinger Bands.\nSo if you are using them to trade trending periods, you should look for a moving average confirmation, an ADX or any other trend based indicator.\nIf you are them to trade swing periods, you should look for an RSI, Stochastics, %R, or whatever momentum indicator.\nIt's all based on your strategy and which indicators you like and understand more.\nThanks,\nNader\nThe Gimme is a great set up.

So if you are using them to trade trending periods, you should look for a moving average confirmation, an ADX or any other trend based indicator. If you are them to trade swing periods, you should look for an RSI, Stochastics, %R, or whatever momentum indicator. It's all based on your strategy and which indicators you like and understand more.

Your now set to catch a Squeeze. I especally like the Squeeze play because, after all I *am* MrWhipple. Watch for when the KChannels go inside the BBands. When they come out again, make your play. Watch which way the momentum is going to decide to go long or short. But watch out for the dreded head fake!

There are some great indicators out there already written for Trade Station, VT Trader, MT4, and a lot of others. I use Squeezometer for VT.

Readable Markdown	![](https://resources.faireconomy.media/images/logos/logo-print-ff.png) Does anyone know of a good confirming indicator to use with bollinger bands if goal is to make 10 pips per trade? Well, this depends on how are you using the Bollinger Bands. The fancy about the Bollinger Bands, and that's why I love them so much, is that you can trade trending strategies or swing strategies with them. You can even trade volatile markets using Bollinger Bands. So if you are using them to trade trending periods, you should look for a moving average confirmation, an ADX or any other trend based indicator. If you are them to trade swing periods, you should look for an RSI, Stochastics, %R, or whatever momentum indicator. It's all based on your strategy and which indicators you like and understand more. Thanks, Nader The Gimme is a great set up. You could also use divergence to confirm.
