Bollinger Bands serve as signals to which prices are relatively high or low. This type of strategy enables you to set the range of the low and high Bollinger Bands where you would want your Gunbot to trade.
The Bollinger Band strategy can also be combined with other indicators like RSI, Stochastic or MFI. This type of strategy is usually combined with Stepgain. The bot will buy based on the Bollinger Bands and sell with the Stepgain strategy. It’s best that you enable MEAN_REVERSION while using this strategy.
