Reimagining Classic Strategies (Part 16): Double Bollinger Band Breakouts

Reimagining Classic Strategies (Part 16): Double Bollinger Band Breakouts

The double Bollinger Band system, however, achieved 56% winning trades, a 21% improvement in accuracy. Even more striking, the asymmetric manner in which we changed the distribution of profits and losses. The solution we present to the reader increased the gross profits of the back test by 70%, but only increased gross losses by 17%. This asymmetric effect—profits growing faster than losses—shows how appropriately the double Bollinger Band system reshapes trade distribution into a more desirable form.
