Bollinger Bands Introduction:
English   French   Spanish   Italian   Chinese   Swedish   Russian   German
Bollinger Bands are a technical trading tool created by John Bollinger in the early 1980s. They arose from the need for adaptive trading bands and the observation that volatility was dynamic, not static as was widely believed at the time.

The purpose of Bollinger Bands is to provide a relative definition of high and low. By definition prices are high at the upper band and low at the lower band. This definition can aid in rigorous pattern recognition and is useful in comparing price action to the action of indicators to arrive at systematic trading decisions.

Bollinger Bands consist of a set of three curves drawn in relation to securities prices. The middle band is a measure of the intermediate-term trend, usually a simple moving average, that serves as the base for the upper band and lower band. The interval between the upper and lower bands and the middle band is determined by volatility, typically the standard deviation of the same data that were used for the average. The default parameters, 20 periods and two standard deviations, may be adjusted to suit your purposes.

Capital Growth Letter Excerpt

Energy

Well, with BP getting at least a temporary grip on their well, perhaps things can get back to business as usual in the energy market. $XOI and $OSX, the two most widely watched energy stocks indices, big oil and oil service respectively, look set for rally attempts with nice lower band W bottoms in place. At least we have some clear potential here. If Washington will let these folks get back to business perhaps we'll be able to figure out what is really going on.
