Bollinger Band indicators are included in the Lagging Indicator category. Can be seen from the movement in each Time Frame (TF) that follows the candlestick.

Bollinger indicators function a lot, not just sideways conditions, for trends by adding a number of other indicator combinations into bollinger bands can certainly be used for other market conditions.

Bollinger Band has a characteristic that distinguishes it from other indicators, namely the existence of the Upper and Lower lines as a determinant of the price limit in the trend.

Bollinger band indicators are theoretically the easiest to use compared to other indicators, consisting of three lines, namely upperband, midleband and lowerband. 
The use is simple, just enter the buy order at lowerband and sell on upperband.

Bollinger bands is the default indicator that is on mt4 / mt5 this indicator is very suitable to use when the market is in sideway conditions, the way to enter a position is when the candlestick forms the bottom line or the upper line of the Bollinger bands. This indicator is very suitable for scalping. but when the market is in an uptrend or downtrend this indicator is not suitable for me.
yes I agree to the use of this index for scalping. I want to ask, how to find out the current direction, which is sideway?

right, I also agree with you. I am also a user of the bolinger band indicator, indeed this indicator is very suitable to be applied when sideway prices, but also when the trend is also this indicator also provides a good signal for entry. when I break the top line I sell and vice versa. This indicator is very simple and easy to use.

The Bollinger indicator can also be used when the market is bullish or bearish, its function is not only in the sidewaya market, with the addition of MA, this bollingerband is an indicator of good accuracy.

yes I really agree with you, if we can find settings that match our techniques, this indicator is very able to generate maximum profit.

In ranging market conditions, the upper band and lower band of bollinger bands can act as resistance and support levels which can generate entry signals from reflected prices on both lines. To ensure that prices will actually move up or down after reaching the lower or upper limit of bollinger bands, traders can determine the price action, which is seen from the formation of candlesticks in that area.

depending on how we use it when the market is sideway or longer, I myself sidway as scalping and trand for long entry signals.

I just chose a lot of indicators that I just tried, one of them is a BB indicator and in my opinion understanding this indicator is simpler compared to other indicators.
