Bollinger Breakout
John Bollinger himself stated it best, "low volatility begets high volatility, and high volatility begets low volatility.” He correctly stated that volatility is both cyclical and forecastable. While the Forex market trades 24-hours a day, not all of those times are liquid.

There are periods of time when the market exhibits very low volatility and very little price action. With over a dozen possible catalysts every day, it’s only a matter of time before price movement begins to occur in an effort to reflect changes in the perceived relationship between the two or more effected currencies.

This Bollinger Breakout indicator is “armed” when low volatility conditions have been sustained for a period of time. Upon increased volatility, it signals both long and short entry thresholds that, if met, typically indicate the beginning of rapid price movement in one direction.

This system generates 1-3 trades per week per pair and is primarily used on the GBPUSD, EURUSD, and the USDCHF 15 minute time frames.
 
 
 
 
 
MACD Dots
Most systems are designed to capture large moves in the market. As a result, they perform poorly in sideways or choppy markets. A robust trading system will have ways to help you capitalize in every market condition.

The MACD Dots system was originally designed to thrive in choppy, sideways, or range-bound markets—and was later modified to maximize opportunities in trending markets as well.

It’s the everyday workhorse of the three systems, and generates signals to indicate reversals in range-bound and trending market conditions. On a 15 minute chart, it typically generates 1-2 trades per day. On longer terms, such as daily charts, it typically generates a signal every 4-6 weeks. Although it was not originally designed to be adaptive, testing has shown that its accuracy is unaffected by increasing time frames. This speaks volumes about the robustness of the system.

This system has tested well on any pair in the 15/60/240 minute as well as daily and weekly timeframes without optimization.
 
 
 
 
 
Bollinger Reversal
Here's a quote which summarizes the thinking behind a Bollinger Reversal signal: "The irony is that when the market is widely deemed to be chaotic behavior, the market becomes more predictable."

This signal only occurs after a large and sudden market move is followed by a rejection of further price movement.

In most cases, this is a news related reaction which moves too far, too fast. Like an airplane that stalls out when it goes vertical, price can not continue to move without some consolidation.

This system works on any pair, any time frame, and is universally applied without any change in settings. Because it predicts a large reversal, which is statistically less accurate than a continuation signal (Bollinger Breakout System), it has a tight stop and an excellent risk:reward ratio.
