外汇布林线+内含线反转交易法 （中英文版）外汇布林线+内含线反转交易法（中英文版） by Jamie Saettele（背景介绍部分略过不译,只选择译了如下关键部分）We have long been taught that to be a successful trader, your objective should be to buy low and sell high or buy high and sell higher (and vice versa for shorts). Different strategies approach this most basic definition of speculation in various ways. Trend traders look to buy strength on the breakout and sell weakness on the breakdown. Good trend traders can make great sums of money in the long term with just a few big winners. However, most find applying trend trading far more difficult than the theory behind it. Simply stated, the human brain is not wired to trade trends. For example, buying the breakout in GBP/USD at 1.8000 (after it had bottomed at 1.7229 34 weeks earlier) and holding until 1.9000 sounds great, but human tendency makes it difficult to buy something at what is perceived as a high price (such as 1.8000). Furthermore, false breakouts will whipsaw a trader out of many trades - it simply isnt an efficient way to trade. On the other hand, traders that attempt to pick bottoms and tops usually get blown out of the water because they either do not have a method or they fail to follow their method - the end result is akin to attempting to stop a freight train by standing in front of it. Traditional trend trading (buying and selling breakouts) seems far too challenging from a psychological point of view, but for a novice trader, picking tops and bottoms at the same time is simply dangerous. What we need is a relative definition of high and low and a filter to help identify proper top and bottom trades. In this article well take a look at the inside day Bollinger band, which can help objectively measure what is high and low. (For more background, check out The Basics Of Bollinger Bands.)Combining Inside Days with Bollinger Bands将布林线和内含线结合使用Prices at the upper Bollinger band are considered high and prices at the lower Bollinger band are considered low. However, just because prices have hit the upper Bollinger does not necessarily mean that it is a good time to sell. Strong trends will ride these bands and wipe out any trader attempting to buy the low prices in a downtrend or sell the high prices in an uptrend. Therefore, just buying at the lower band and selling at the upper band is out of the question. By definition, price makes new highs in an uptrend and new lows in a downtrend, which means that they will naturally be hitting the bands. With this information in mind, our filter will require that buy signals occur only if the candle following the one that hits the Bollinger band does not make a new high or low. This type of candle is commonly known as an inside day. The best time frames to look for the inside days are daily charts, but this strategy can also be used on hourly, weekly and monthly charts. Combining inside days with Bollinger bands increases the likelihood that we are only picking a top or bottom after prices have hit extreme levels. As a rule of thumb, the longer the time frame, the rarer the trade will be, but the signal will also be more significant. (For more insight, see Using Bollinger Band Bands to Gauge Trends and Capture Profits With Bands And Channels.) Candlesticks and their respective patterns illustrate the psychology of the market at a particular point in time. Specifically, the inside candle represents a period of contracted volatility. If, in an uptrend, volatility begins to slow and the market fails to make a new high (as illustrated by the inside candle), then we can deduce that strength is waning and that the chance for a reversal exists. When combined with a Bollinger band, we ensure that we are trading a reversal only by either selling high prices (higher Bollinger band) or buying low prices (lower Bollinger band). In this way, we trade for the big move; not necessarily selling the low tick or buying the bottom tick but definitely buying near the relative bottom and selling near the relative top. The key is confirmation.Since Bollinger bands typically use a length of 20, we can employ a 20-period simple moving average (SMA) as a target to take profit. The 20-period SMA will trade equidistant from the upper and lower Bollinger bands. To catch large moves, allow the pair to trade through the 20-period SMA and then trail your stop with the moving average, only closing trades on the close after the pair crosses the SMA again. The examples below will shed light on this process. 由于布林线通常使用20个时间周期，我们使用20期简单移动平均线作为止盈目标。20期简单移动平均线也就是布林线的中轨。为了捕捉大的波动，等价格穿过20期简单移动平均线，然后使用20期简单移动平均线作为跟进止损，只有当收盘价再次折回20期简单移动平均线才平仓。Four Guidelines四项原则We have four guidelines. Well call these guidelines (rather than rules) because this is a strategy that involves discretion. The guidelines present a trade setup that may or may not result in a trade.之所以称为原则而非准则，是因为本方法需要个人判断，来决定是否对符合这些条件的交易机会进行交易。For longs做多: 1. Look for the currency pair to hit or come very close to hitting the lower Bollinger. 留意触及或几乎触及布林线下轨的货币对2. Wait for next candle and make sure that the next candles low is greater than or equal to the previous candles low and that the high is also less than or equal to the previous periods high. If so, go long at the open of the third candle.等到其后一支K线收盘，而且形成内含线（最高价和最低价都没有超出前一支K线的范围）。在内含线最高点之上挂买进单，（进取型交易者，可在下一支以K线开盘价做多）。3. The initial stop is placed a few pips below the previous candles low.初始止损比前一支K线的最低价低几个点。4. Trail stop on a closing basis with the 20-period SMA.跟进止损为收盘价低于20期简单移动平均（基于收盘价）For shorts:做空1. Look for the currency pair to hit or come very close to hitting the upper Bollinger. 留意触及或几乎触及布林线上轨的货币对2. Wait for next candle and make sure that the next candles high is less than or equal to the previous candles high and that the low is also greater than or equal to the previous periods low. If so, go short at the open of the third candle.等到其后一支K线收盘，而且形成内含线（最高价和最低价都没有超出前一支K线的范围）。在内含线最低价之下放置卖出单，（进取型交易者可在下一支以K线开盘价做空）。3. The initial stop is placed a few pips above the previous candles high.初始止损比前一支K线的最高价高几个点。4. Trail stop on a closing basis with the 20-period SMA.跟进止损为收盘价高于20期简单移动平均（基于收盘价）Now lets explore some examples:The first example is a short EUR/USD trade on daily charts. In Figure 1, we see that the price hits the upper Bollinger, we wait for an inside day to form where the high and low of the candle is engulfed by the previous candle. Once we see that, we enter short on the following candle at 1.2144 on March 21, 2006. We remain in the position and trail our stop on a closing basis by the 20-period SMA. The trade is eventually closed on March 24, 2006, at 1.2035 for a gain of 109 pips. 例一：EURUSD日线图做空。价格触及布林线上轨，待日内线形成后，在其后一支K线（2006年3月21日）的跌破内含线低点1.2144卖出，止损设在内含线高点之上。持仓并使用20期简单移动平均做跟进止损。2006年3月24日，收盘高于20期简单移动平均，在1.2035退出。图片:1.gifFigure 1 - Short EUR/USD trade on daily charts The next example is a short GBP/USD trade. In Figure 2 we see the same scenario as the EUR/USD trade but this is far more profitable opportunity. As illustrated in Figure 2, our short trade is initiated at 1.7714 on October 31, 2005. The position is then covered on December 1, 2005 at 1.7310 for a 404 pip profit. 例二：做空GBPUSD.图片:2.gifFigure 2 - Short GBP/USD trade On the long side, we have USD/CAD that gave us an inside day Bollinger band signal on March 6, 2006. We went long at 1.1364. The uptrend remained intact for one month, allowing us to exit the trade at 1.1618 on April 5, 2006 for a 254 pip profit. 例三：USDCAD做多图片:3.gifFigure 3 - USD/CADYou may also notice from our examples above that our exit could be greatly improved by taking profit at the other Bollinger band. For example, on the USD/CAD trade in Figure 3, we could have taken profit on March 20 at the upper Bollinger band at 1.1680. The same can be said for the GBP/USD trade in Figure 2 - we could have covered our short position on November 16 at 1.7163 at the lower Bollinger band. In order to exit at favorable prices, a good tip is to trade two lots and take profit on one lot at the opposite Bollinger band. Trail the stop on the other lot with the 20-period SMA (as originally described). This way, you consistently book profits at favorable prices but give yourself the chance to profit from a truly remarkable move.

In the last example, the pair closed at 119.49 just four months later! 例四：GBPUSD周线 图片:4.gifFigure 4 - GBP/USD例五：EUR/GBP图片:5.gifFigure 5 - EUR/GBP例六：EURUSD图片:6.gifFigure 6 - EUR/USD例七：USDJPY图片:7.gifFigure 7 - USD/JPYBenefits好处There are many benefits to the inside day Bollinger band strategy. The most obvious is its simplicity. Creating a trading strategy is not rocket science, but those that treat it as such usually en
