BB Settings

Would lower % BB bands be better for a more volatile market? I find that with 25% I don't really get many trades.

So try another setting.

That's not what he asked....

The BB% is the % distance from the BB that you'll buy / sell - e.g. you'll buy at 25% above the lower band and sell at 25% below the upper band

Making them lower would make you buy closer and sell further (further away from the average), so I suspect your # of trades would come down even more

Yep I understand now. Thanks.
