2nd order polynomials (parabolas) as a means to approximate the price

moving higher.  I was able to find a graphic example of this at 
http://sigmabands.blogspot.com/ .  According to the author / blogger 
the center line in based on 250 bars worth of data and the sigma 
bands are each spaced one standard deviation apart.  I am assuming 
that the standard deviation data is also based on 250 bars, although 
this is not mentioned specifically.

examples is that, visually, it appears that the price series does 
spend roughly 2/3rds of the time within the first sigma bands and 
roughly 2% of the time outside the third sigma bands.  Exactly what 
you would like to see.  Bollinger Bands, to me, have never shown this 
level of consistency.
