Interesting. I'm big on Bollinger - is the reduction to 18 and 1.8 very
common amongst you LT list members?

Very true, the contraction is only reasonable use of BBands. Buy or sell
the
break, don't try to guess. The length of time in the contracted state
approximates the length of time in the movement.
Trading is based on contraction and expansion of price and volume.
