In the above example, EUR/USD 5 min chart, notice how the Bollinger Bands

tighten and squeeze together. When this happens you know that there is a

Breakout coming. As soon as the exchange rate line (brown), breaks out of

the outside Bollinger Bands, it signals your entry buy/sell. In this case if you

bought EUR/USD at 1.1815 and Closed your position at 1.1840 , you could

have made a fast 25 pip profit.

the EMA 10 (red), the middle BB line (green) and the EMA 50 blue. The
