For me trading using the bollinger band indicator is very difficult because I don't really know how to work from the bollinger band indicator. I also don't know when I have to start buying and I also don't know when I also start selling Especially after saprofit When do I have to stop profit and when I have to do more if the level moves are based on analysis of bollinger band indicators. the indicator is settled and simple but I have not mastered it because I don't know how it works and also how to set its value
if I personally choose the entry when the price touches the bottom line of the buyer, when the price forms a line above our seller, but I avoid more when the price is in the midline because the price might go up could go down

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.
Hello, I am also a user of the Bollinger Bands indicator. indeed, bollinger bands are very and very often I use when sideways, especially the GBP pair, but when it's too long in a sideways state for a maximum of 2 days from eating away I will avoid the transaction first because in the GBP pair there is always a very significant movement up to 100-300 pips but after that he will be sideways again for a few days. I most often gain profits when sideways on the GbpJpy pair with the help of Bollinger Bands

at this time I also use BBMA to trade on the forex market, although sometimes it still experiences margin calls but I will continue to use BBMA to be able to cheat on the technique well

Iam into bollinger band indicator too, I love using it. Very usefull at scalping at lower time frame, and swing trades on higher. I set mine to 20 and combine it with SMA60, that's all it for me to analyze the chart. Found a free one bollinger indicator too that talks and send email, lol... crazy but I love it, it alerts me when I'm not looking at the PC.

I also see many traders using this indicator and many searches are created to combine bollinger bands with other indicators, one of which is the moving average line which also combines with the oscillator type indicator.

Bollinger bands are very suitable for scalper types and when the market is in sideways condition. and if the market conditions are being sideways then the top BB is used for sell entry with the first take profit at the mid BB position and the second take profit at the BB bottom position. I usually use this for the M15 timeframe

Bollinger  bands is like my basic indicator, i always use it even though i dont know how to use it reliably, and im combining it with other indicators cuz i know i cant depend on it only 

I havent tried to combine it with MACD, I dont understand MACD and i dont like it cuz i heard that its lagged and always give late signals
