Trend.

No, the 30 min BB cross does not care what the Daily and weekly trends are. That's the beauty of the bands, they adjust with the the longer trend.

I have adjusted the band settings to work on the 3X etf's.

21, 1.7 1.7 is a sweet spot. Now if I can get that 2% error out of it. 60% of the trade indications are out of the exact trade point by 2 to 3%. So I've taken to scaling in and out of trades because of the that.

The system switched sides today,
