How can I idintify that the candles will continue riding the bands when they are expanding ?
Hello Mahmood -

Unfortunately, there isn't any indicator that will tell us what future prices will do. One of the benefits of technical analysis is that it helps us see whats happened, so that we can make educated decisions about what may happen.

This is where risk management, and strategy development can come into play - to help you increase probabilities of success.

The Bollinger Bands Lesson 2 video shares a strategy specific to Bollinger Bands - and the Money Management Module can greatly help in building an approach.
