Bollinger Band Squeeze Strategy (Python Version)

This setup monitors the width of the Bollinger Bands to detect periods of low volatility. When the bands contract relative to their recent average, it signals a potential volatility expansion is near.

Testing indicates an average annual return of about 100%. It performs best in the forex market.

Once a squeeze is identified, the strategy waits for price to break outside the bands. A close above the upper band initiates a long, while a close below the lower band opens a short. The trade is closed if price returns toward the middle of the bands or if a stop-loss is triggered.

The method targets traders who like to trade volatility breakouts rather than trend continuation. Using the band width as a filter helps avoid false signals during choppy conditions.
