Alberto:
Many listmembers supplied me with the formula to plot the
distance between the standard deviations created with Bollinger
Bands. After many hours of examination I was surprised to find
that large moves start: not only when the bands narrow (as
suggested by Johhny B. and others), but, just as many big moves
start when the bands are at their widest point. Also, as you
and others have pointed out: at the narrowest or at the widest
points, there is nothing inherent in this plot to signal
direction.
Recently, the "group" was able to supply me with the formula for
making a Histogram out of the "bands". I find this the most
useful application of Bollinger's formula. The following is the
picture I draw:
((C+2*Std(C,20) - Mov(C,20,S)) / (4*Std(C,20)))*4 - 2
Under "properties", I then drop in +2 and -2 (because I'm not
bright enough to program them in permanently). I think this is
a much better view of the bands. As the price moves up and down
as a % of the band width: all the classic applications of other
"oscillator type" indicators work well (divergence,
support/resistance, and overbought/oversold conditions when the
price exceeds the Standard Dev. of +/-2).
This is just one of ten indicators that I use ...but, for
traders trying to understand Bollinger's "envelopes", I think
the reconfiguration is a simpler, cleaner view, that allows the
technician to analyze the underlying issue without the
"squiggles".
