Midway through the market analysis tools, there are those that are an improved version, that is, a modification of the long known indicators. This includes the BBands Stop, which I want to tell you about today. By its name we can already guess that this instrument is based on the Bollinger bands popular among traders. The only difference is that if the Bollinger Bands have three lines, then Bands Stop has only one line. Depending on the price location relative to this line, signals are formed. Such an indicator is easier to work with than the classic BB. And this is especially important for beginner traders.
