Bollinger

When I back test, the trades does not match the conditions in the builder. The backtest shows that some trades are taking place on the middle band. These are not the conditions. I am using the Bollinger bands with the Deviations of 2.0 with the 4 hour timeframe.
A buy signal equals when the current candle crosses above the lower band and close.
The buy trade should be entered when 10 minutes prior the current candle closing

A sell signal equals when the current candle crosses below the upper band and close.
The sell trade should be entered when 10 minutes prior the current candle closing.

Can someone assist me?

looks good to me, just not sure how you are limiting it to the final 10 minutes however.

@xwhysquared Your logic is correct. The issue can be the definition of 'crossing up/down' the BB. I recommend to define better that crossing bu using two condition blocks instead. One requiring the open price to bo on one side and the close price on the other side of the BB.
