Use higher time frame like H4. It works best there.
It happens many times that price kisses Doda-Donchian line, so it may triggers your stop-loss. So, place your stop loss few pips above / below this line.
Even if price moves above or below, that does not make any sense for change of signals. The candle MUST close above / below for confirmation.
