How to create bollinger band strategy

[cunparis]

Hi I'm new to NT and I've followed the strategy examples using the wizard. All that makes sense to me. But now I'd like to make a simple strategy using bollinger bands and I can't figure out how to do it. For example, buy at the lower band and sell at the top. It's a lot of fun trying to code up basic strategies and back test them. Which leads to my second question:

How can I backtest futures, for example YM. The contract is for x months so if I want to backtest for a year I don't see a way to do this.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi cunparis,

To do the bollinger bands please check out the attached picture. To do the reverse case, change the "Plot" to "Upper" and change the CrossBelow to CrossAbove.

To backtest for a year you could try using the ##-## contract. so YM ##-## instead of YM 03-08.

Someone can help me build this strategy :
entry long with 1 contract on emini sp500 if all that condiziona are tre :
1) when the distance between vwap and the std deviation 2 Lower are in this range of 10 (40 ticks) and 12 points(48 ticks)
2) the previous condition is true for over 15 minute
3) the price touch or cross below the std dev 2 Lower

exit when the price touch vwap band

stoploss : 5 point (20 ticks)
Thank you for your kind
