Disliked{quote} I think that its not bollinger, but the crowd that sits behind the screen using the default indicator anyone can find in his metatrader software and not only - otherwise. Also I know from experience that a system has flows when the market is going sideways - experiencing lower volatility, but I agree that there are other systems you can use that will do for the purpose and current trend - bigger, or smaller. I will show to you a simple chart with 5 and 10 ma and you should plot and make your own conclusions. {image} Again if, you use it...Ignored
Then you should also know that this sideways analysis is TF dependent.
Yes, if a larger TF has had higher volatility for many bars and then volatility drops and a sideways move of small (and often inside) bars occurs, then typically, some smaller TF(s) will be trending, offering trading opportunities if your trading system parameters (such as volatility) are met.
