jab,
I call myself a freelance trader, which basically means I don't have
allegiance to any investment mindset, other than the ones that work.
I have been trading around 4-5 years and naturally enough came acros
BB early on. Not being aware of the fact that you were active in the
trading community I played around with BB's myself and reinvented the
wheel on things like Hurst's differing envelopes (as shown in your
site tutorial), the squeeze, difficulties with fake breakouts etc so
it is interesting to me now to see that you addressed those issues in
detail yourself.
The difficulties I had there put me off using BB's directly, although
the underlying concept of dynamic bands/volatility etc influenced me
greatly (I did succumb to the myth that tagging the band is 'the
signal' and also I didn't feel comfortable that I had mastered the
breakout from the squeeze).
I have used smoothed StDev bands as dynamic stops etc and privately I
am pushing the boundaries on dynamic trading, including dynamic bands.
BTW my area of speciality is in system evaluation,specifically root
cause evaluation, the propogation of variance (error) and variance as
risk etc (I found that Pardo,and those who followed him, left plenty
of gaps in our knowledge, in that area).
Back to your efforts.
I like your work and that it is focused on dynamic, adaptive
techniques and that you believe we should "let the market set the
bandwidth (indicator)".
Plenty of traders have come unstuck trying to force their structured
theories onto a dynamic market.
Now that I see that you have explained your methods in more depth I
will play catch-up.
Since "Bollinger On Bollinger Bands" was written in 2001 is it still
the best place to start to get an understanding of your core ideas?

Do you discuss auto-pattern recognition in your book or have you
published on that topic anywhere?
Congratulations on a great contribution to TA.
I hope there is more to come.
