As a crypto investor, I'm curious about the optimal settings for Bollinger Bands in order to maximize its effectiveness in 
cryptocurrency trading. Could you elaborate on what parameters should I consider adjusting, such as the number of standard deviations, the moving average period, or any other factors that could influence the accuracy of the indicator? Additionally, are there any specific strategies or scenarios where Bollinger Bands tend to work best in the crypto market? Understanding these settings and their applications would greatly enhance my ability to make informed trading decisions.

    For Bollinger Bands, the standard default settings are 20 periods and 2 standard deviations.

    However, as traders gain more experience and understanding of market behavior, they may opt to adjust these settings.

    Day traders, for instance, who trade frequently and need quicker market insights, may find shorter settings more suitable.
