The Bell trader gets it name from a statistical representation of the odds of many readings varying from a statistical average of, in the case of Forex price action, price movements.
Because you are working with an average it makes sense that 50% of the price movement will be above the average and 50% will below the average
Looking back over history the Standard Deviation channels can determine 3 deviations from the average based on the fact that 99.6% of Price action will happen within 3 deviations from the average upward and downwards.
THE BELL TRADER BUYS LOW & SELLS HIGH
The BELL Trader encourages the buying low and Selling high approach as it does not trade when the price is at the average levels.
It only trades back to the average line when it reaches deviation lines as show in the illustration on the left.
The calculated chances of the price reaching the other levels (Based on past history) add an element of safety to this technique
Using increased lot sizing at the outer deviation lines is encouraged buy the prices tendency to move back to the average
Having many trading levels near the average line and fewer at the outer levels tips the odds to the traders advantage
Sounds very complicated? Don't worry. In the end the BELL technique helps you Sell High and Buy Low (SHBL) most of the time as shown in the chart with recorded trades.
And in the end when it gets the direction wrong, it closes baskets of open trades at a profit.
An Example of a trading strategy
In the example below we see a 12 month Standard Deviation Channel for the EURGBP showing the middle line (Average line, Mean line or the spine) of the price action with 3 deviation lines above and below the Average line. Note that the GAP between major deviation line is 100 Pip in this example.
It shows an example of a possible strategy where the trader has decided to divide the 1st deviation area into 4 sub sections, the 2nd deviation into 3 sub sections and the 3rd deviation area into only 2 sub sections. The are more sub sections near the average line because more price action occurs near the Average line than far away.
In this example, the trader has decided to increase the initial lot size of 0.01 at the average line by 0.01 for every new level away from the average line. This is due to the fact that the chances of the price returning to the average is higher the more the price moves away from the average
The Trading Strategy
- No trading from the average line
- When the price reaches the next standard deviation line, a trade is entered into back to the average line. The Average line becomes the target in this case.
- When the price does not go back to the average line but continues to the next deviation line another trade is opened. Both these trades are then regarded as a basket of trades.
- The target for the basket of trades is decided by the trader but is generally equal or greater than the profit that would be made if the initial trade were successful in dollars. So gains are made when the price continues.
- When the basket target is reached all open trades are closed (using FIFO principles) and normal trading rules apply.
- There is never a duplicate trade at a deviation level (one trade per deviation level)
The Video on the right shows the 4 main components of the Bell Trader Strategies
(Please watch this before viewing the settings)
There are only 7 major settings you need to deal with when trading the Bell Trader.
- You need to tell how far you want to look back to create your Standard Deviation Trading area. In general, the longer the more robust and the shorter the risker. To do that you need to specify the timeframe and the number of bars to look back. Settings 1 and 2 on the left.
- You need to tell it the first deviation level from the average line to treat as your first transaction line. Setting 3 on the left
- You then to tell the EA by how much to increase the deviation size as the price moves away from the Average Line. Setting 4 on the left.
- Next is the Lot size for trade entry. If you do not have experience in this area use 0.01 lots and slowly increase that as you gain experience. Setting 5 on the left.
- You can increase the lot size every time the price reaches a new deviation trading level. Setting 6 on the left.
- Then lastly, you need to tell the Robot at what $ level you want to close baskets of trades (when there is more than 1 open trade). Setting 7 on the left.
The other settings can basically be ignored or you can use the default settings.
Please use the user manual available from this link for more information and examples about all the settings.
USER MANUAL
How can US Traders trade the BELL TRADER?
We created a special US compatible version of the BELL trader which is tradeable on US Broker Accounts.
- All non compatible settings have been removed from the regular version so that the US version will have no guess work.
- In order to trade the Bell Trader properly traders should trade Sell only in one trading account and Buy only in another trading account. Setting 1 shown.
- There is a separate Trade Management section for US Broker Accounts which refers to open trades. Setting 2 shown
- FIFO will be adhered to so that when Basket Trades are closed, they will be closed at the same time and in FIFO order
- The normal guide settings can be used as provided, as long as only one direction is traded per US trading account
- Care must be taken as settings assume 100:1 leverage. When lower leverage is used please decrease the lot sizing by between 50% and 30% and lower the basket targets by the same percentage
The Above settings are based on 100:1 leverage. Should your leverage be lower please adjust the lots sizing and bundle target in proportion to the actual leverage used. No adjustment is required for leverage over 100:1
The above settings are not proven in actual trading as the Robot has only recently been created. We suggest a demo trading period on 2 to 3 weeks to make sure you are experiencing satisfactory results
For more details about the above results please use this link: OPTIMISED SETTINGS

Setting Tips and Tricks.
These are initial guides for you to start trading the BELL trader. Once you have experienced success trading conservatively you can increase your risk.
-
Optimized settings are generally not consistently reliable (Grey Table). It is suggested that when starting out that you use the the settings based on actual trading history (Blue Table).
-
When planning your deviation levels try to make sure that there are not more than 10 open trades when the price potentially reaches the 3rd Deviation level. If your first deviation level is 0.25 and you increase each level by 0.25 you will have (3 divided by 0.25) 12 open trades at deviation level 3 which is a little too many. If your first deviation level is .3 then you will have 10 open trades at level 3 which is OK. See the video above in the Orange section.
-
Bad lot sizing can blow your account. Make sure you do not have more than 1 lot in total when the price potentially reaches deviation level 3. If you have 10 open trades of 0.1 lots each, the total open lots will be 1.0 which is OK
-
When starting your trading try to make sure that the price is not more than 2 deviation lines from the average line. This can be assessed after entering your settings and viewing the chart. If is is more than 2 deviation lines away rather wait until it is or select another strategy.
-
It is possible for open transactions to get stuck in a range where nothing much happens for a while. Consider trading 3 to 5 currencies that do not have a exposure to one particular currency to avoid this.
-
The Multiplier setting for lot sizing can be dangerous. Use it to manage your financial exposure. Use it conservatively at first (Setting of 1)
-
The multiplier setting for the Deviation levels can reduce your risk as fewer deviation levels can result by the time the 3rd deviation level is reached if the setting is above 1. Keep it at 1 at the start and increase the setting if you need to reduce risk
-
The bigger your Standard Deviation Channel period (Number of days as determined by the timeframe selected and look back period) the more stable and robust the trading will be and more likely trading will be contained by the 3rd Deviation. Consider this when using short term strategies.
-
Remember to demo trade ANY settings or strategies for 2 to 3 week to make sure you are experiencing expected results.
