hi brian.
ive been testing it in the backtester and it gets some great results 
for the short time its in the market.
i noticed when theirs a major downtrend that the price is closer to 
the top of the bband top so checking the results when used with other 
indies. may need to create another variable so that when the band 
narrows on an uptrend it plots on the chart.

cheers: john.
