BANDS
Hi David,Keltner Bands belong to the family of 
envelopes, as BB and other systems. Especially with BB there is alot 
of difference.The most important, according to my opinion, is that with 
Keltner Bands we have sharp and distinguishable cuts with price curve, 
whereas BB, in a sudden trend change, makes the well known balloons, 
not proper for a trading system.So, when price in a downtrend crosses 
support Kelner down line, you may stay out of the market until the next 
positive cross.This special property is emphasized in the code .If 
there is more interest on similarities and differences between envelopes 
I' ll give you additional reading.Thank you for your 
interest.RegardsDimitris Tsokakis  --- In
