The Jan 2009 issue of Technical Analysis of Stock & Commodities, Join the Band, describes MA-Bollinger band crossover strategies to alleviate whipsaws of a simple MA-MA crossover system.

The simplest system uses a MA(20) crossover above the upper band of the BB(50,0.8) to indicate a buy and a crossover below the lower band to indicate a sell.

In a bull market, a cross above the lower band could indicate a buy, while a cross below the center MA of the BB can indicate a sell in a bear market.

Can these type of strategies be implemented and backtested in StockFinder?

Thanks,

You can Drag and Drop a Moving Average onto a Bollinger Band and select Crossing Up Through or Crossing Down through the appropriate Bollinger Band to create these Rules. You can Drag and Drop these Rules into BackScanner and select Buy or Sell to backtest them using the desired action for the Rule.
