The reversal entry approach requires the trader to initiate a long entry once
price tests the lower band and a short entry if the upper band is tested. With reversal
entries, no price filter is required. The trader may initiate an entry at the exact level
where price tests the upper or lower bands. But if the trader chooses to seek price
confirmation for a reversal entry instead, then the application of a price filter is re-
quired in order to determine the point of entry after testing the bands.
