Precision Trading with Bollinger Bands: Identifying Breakouts & Reversals
Bollinger Bands are a powerful tool for measuring price volatility and identifying high-probability trading setups. Developed by John Bollinger, this study plots two standard deviation bands around a moving average, contracting during low volatility and expanding when price action accelerates. Traders commonly use Bollinger Bands to spot overbought and oversold conditions, but they are equally effective in detecting breakouts, volatility shifts, and divergences between price and momentum studies. This webinar will explore using Bollinger Bands to confirm trend continuation patterns, filter out false signals, and anticipate market turning points.
Join John Rowland, Barchart's Senior Market Strategist, as he breaks down the math behind Bollinger Bands and demonstrates their application in breakout and mean reversion strategies. Learn how to incorporate daily and intraday Bollinger Band signals, apply momentum-based entry techniques, and implement risk management rules. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your technical analysis skills!
In this webinar, you will learn about:
- Standard Deviations and Price Confidence
- Overbought and Oversold Trading Techniques
- Setting entries and exits by blending daily and intraday Bollinger Band signals
All Barchart webinars start at NOON CT (Chicago) time. Please adjust for your local time setting.

How to Trade Futures Spreads Like a Pro – Unlock Powerful Market Insights
Futures spread trading is a powerful yet underutilized strategy that allows traders to capitalize on price differentials between related futures contracts while benefiting from lower margin requirements and reduced directional risk. By simultaneously buying one contract and selling another, traders can hedge positions, enhance capital efficiency, and exploit market inefficiencies.
