You're right sh, true BB is purely mechanical, with no account taken of newsflow, trends or anything else. However, whilst still entering BB orders at the v4 levels as above I have cut down my position size while current unusual market behaviour exists. And of course the designation of the current market situation comes from BB's results only, not from charts, commentators etc.
I'm sorry to hear that your own strategy is also being neutralised by prevailing conditions but it's encouraging to hear you seem to confirm we are in exceptional conditions.
