HIGH_BB does not work

tl;dr
Only value of LOW_BB is being used by the bot. So a BB sell strategy could not work properly if HIGH_BB value differs from LOW_BB

I realized too late that this was the case causing me to lose some profit.

My settings,

"BUY_STRATEGY": "BB",
"SELL_STRATEGY": "BB",
"LOW_BB": 0,
"HIGH_BB": 50,
"BUY_LEVEL": 2,
"GAIN": 1,

Bot is running telling me this

AS you can see my priceTobuy is equal to HIGH_BB instead of somewhere lower. So it seems it is reading the value of LOW_BB and using that as reference.
Let's check that hypothesis

My settings:
"BUY_STRATEGY": "BB",
"SELL_STRATEGY": "BB",
"LOW_BB": 50,
"HIGH_BB": 0,
"BUY_LEVEL": 2,
"GAIN": 1,

As you can see now priceToSELL is somewhere lower than HIGH BB but it should be equal to HiGH_BB. It is lower because LOW_BB is set to 50%.

So to me it seems like the value of HIGH_BB is being ignored and the value of LOW_BB is being used for both SELL and BUY.
